Bidirectional charging of photovoltaic containers at Oslo campsite

Does bidirectional storage reduce energy supply costs in Europe?

The bidirectional development of the existing storage ca-pacity in electric vehicles for the energy system reduces the energy supply costs in Europe com-pared to a scenario without bidirectional electric vehicles. The use as daily storage improves the system integration of renewable energies and PV energy in particular.

How does V2G affect electricity prices in Norway?

Large-scale adoption leads to diminishing V2G returns. Also, more inherent power system flexibility competes with V2G. In the flexible Norwegian price regions, V2G may increase average electricity prices, leading to a tradeoff between societal and consumer welfare. 1. Introduction

Does Helsinki need EV charging infrastructure?

The fourth presentation was given by Pekka Koponen (City of Helsinki) that spoke on the slow procurement processes for EV charging infrastructure deployment and no grid issues. The city owns the electric utility, and with 2030 climate goals, one-third of buses are electric. 10% of all parking needs to have EV charging capacity.

How does V2G affect electricity prices?

V2G helps decrease price volatility, reduce peak and valley electricity prices, reduce renewable curtailment, and reduce the cost of operation in the energy system. The spread between charging and discharging prices is highest in the case of small-scale adoption and in regions with less inherent power system flexibility.
