Vehicle-to-Anything (V2X)
is an umbrella term to explain the use of EV batteries to generate revenue from
the battery asset through dynamic or bi-directional charge control to provide
benefits to the electric grid, to reduce/flatten/shift peak energy consumption
of buildings and homes, or to provide back-up power to a load.
While V2X offers an intriguing potential to take advantage of synergies between
the Energy and Transport sectors, a crucial question is to what extent the
additional use of the battery will impact its us able lifetime. In this seminar
I will introduce the fundamentals of Li-ion battery degradation modeling and
show how V2X can be integrated with EV charging to not only result in minimal
impact but in some cases to prolong battery life.
