Controlling the Power Flow to Vehicles 9

Enhanced Power Flow Management 10

One Example of ValueSmart Charging Used to Increase Renewable Integration

Load Shifting Time based management shifts charging behavior into non-peak periods Demand valleys can be filled by scheduling charging around a central time Load Shaping Following an signal or schedule, charging load can be dynamically shaped according to grid needs Renewable Integration Based on a live wind or solar signal, charging can be synchronized with the availability of renewable energy Spinning Reserves The flow of energy can be rapidly slowed or stopped, creating capacity in response to an unexpected power disruption Economic Dispatch Following a real-time price signal allows energy economics to determine charging behavior Smart Charging Management Opportunities Load Shaping Economic Dispatch

Advanced Analysis Supports complex performance evaluation, including MPG, fuel & energy consumption, charging data, etc. Improved Performance Data Data is automatically logged & securely uploaded, increasing reliability & enabling real-time evaluation Increased Flexibility Multiple methods of intra-vehicle & client/server communication are supported Remote software updates Staff involvement in data collection & administration is minimized with remote support & configuration Enduring Investment A second software license is all that's required to explore smart charging, no additional hardware is necessary State of the Art Performance Data Logging Used by Idaho National Laboratory, the same client-server solution that enables smart charging delivers robust performance capture
