Learn about bidirectional EV charging/discharging with former White House and EPA policy advisor Clinton Administration, former County Supervisor in Virginia, Faculty at University of Virginia 23 years, Commerce, Architecture, Engineering who has a Philosophy degree and is an entrepreneur who started multiple companies. David Slutzky started Fermata Energy in 2010.   Here are some of the topics we covered: V2G Vehicle to Grid V1G smart charging V2X Vehicle to Everything V2B Vehicle to Building  V2L Vehicle to Load Behind the meter Load management Power quality VARs CAISO Independent System Operator Grid vs. Utility is different ISO is grid made up of different utilities VPP Duke and Ford F-150 Lightning TEPCO Fukushima brought on V2X CHAdeMO protocol Nissan Leaf bidirectional in 2013 Offboard DC charger Software platform Vehicle battery comes free with leather seats and air conditioning EV battery warranty with V2X AI software Data science Grid facing market opportunities Vehicle to grid services provider Defining 100% state of charge (SOC) 2000 Ford Ranger EV Setting parameters of SOC to protect battery LFP NCA NMC 4.2 volts per cell (VPC) at full charge Child labor in the Congo and cobalt Climate Early adopters Storage in EVs dwarfs stationary grid storage Beacon power flywheels University of Virginia vs. Virginia Tech UL testing of bidirectional EV chargers UL 1741 SB UL 1741 SA UL 1741 Siemens CCS North American Charging Standard = Tesla 5A continuous = 10,000kWh/yr at 240V Curtailing over $1B/yr of solar and wind in California Discharge behind the meter to reduce demand charges $200-$300 per month with 15kW EV to grid with Leaf Utility demand response programs National Grid summer demand response program Bidirectional Nissan Leaf makes in 57 hours in a summer for $4500 in the evenings (after work) Onboard and offboard inverter/chargers EV1 Rav 4 EV Chevy S-10 EV Avcon GBT charging standard in China Chao G charging is CHAdeMO in China VW Dieselgate Self certify Electrify America Chademo 3.0 Father of EVs in Japan 99.3% uptime of EV chargers in Japan Much worse uptime in US SGIP (Self Generation Incentive Program) subsidies in California should apply to EV to grid Over 90% of EV charging happens at home Interconnection agreement of inverter is probably going to be a stationary inverter and not a roaming onboard inverter Weight of onboard inverter Using big inverter that spins wheels to feed the grid Raising capital and talking to oil companies Panasonic Chevron Oil companies future is renewables and are important sources of capital Yogaville Buckingham County Dominion Pipeline   David Slutzky  https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-slutzky-2a77875 Fermata Energy  https://fermataenergy.com/   To learn more, go to www.solarSEAN.com or www.HeatSpring.com/sean
