Table 3 Electric vehicle value chain metrics and case study findings

From: Technology and economics of electric vehicle power transfer: insights for the automotive industry

Bi-Di service

EVVC option

EVVC time-scales

Grid and customer value

V2G

TOU rates, demand charges, energy and capacity, environment

4-Seconds*, minutes, hours

Cost Saving: ToU, demand charge, DR programs and reactive power export

Revenue: Lower local and system peaks; capacity and energy sales in wholesale markets; and GHG emission reductions

V2H or V2B

Mostly for resiliency, DR tariffs, or system peak reduction

Minutes to hours

Cost Saving: DR program

Revenue: Lower system peaks
