Definitions
- BEVs Battery electric vehicles
- PHEVs Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles
- FCVs Fuel Cell Vehicles
- the most basic example involves net metering, in which electricity can flow both directions in a residence, and the customer is billed only for the net electricity consumed during the billing period.
- vehicles can be programmed to push electricity back onto the electrical grid to help reduce the total electricity consumed in the residence.
- BEVs will use the storage in their batteries to push power onto the grid, and will need to pull power from the grid to recharge. Since the batteries charge primarily from the grid (some have solar or regenerative means while driving), when their batteries run out, they can no longer support distributed generation. PHEVs and FCVs can keep providing power as long as it is economical for the customer to do so.
- PHEVs have a secondary fuel source, which can be gas, natural gas, etc., as go FCVs, and several systems have been disclosed which utilize the natural gas mains in the home to perpetually provide fuel to generate electricity from the vehicle. This is useful, but care must be taken to insure that the payments exceed the cost of electricity to recharge batteries or fuel to replace that used in the generation process, as well as wear-and-tear on the generator in the car.
- the area with perhaps the most value is preventing or helping the utility recover from brownouts / blackouts.
- the energy storage and/or generating capacity available in BEVs, PHEVs, and FCVs can assist in providing peak energy when the customer demand is approaching the utility supply. Instead of purchasing expensive power from a neighboring utility or running out of available power, the utility could tap into the energy from vehicles. This scenario typically happens only for a short duration only a few times a year, and the money earned from providing power to the grid would surely exceed the costs for the customer to provide it. If the customer is not in an area where the utility directly pays for and controls the energy generated during these super peak periods, the customer can still save money and help the situation by using the vehicle to provide household power and still push some back onto the grid to assist in the shortage.
- the present invention is a system for controlling BEVs, PHEVs, and FCVs while plugged into the electric grid to provide the amalgam of useful functions to the customer and electric utility, including the following:
- the controls for such a system will ideally come from the electric utility. This way, compensation can be given for vehicles during the times they are regulating power. Also, the utility is in the best position or organize and optimize the mitigation of brownout and blackouts by cycling the available vehicles similar to air-conditioner cycling in areas with load shedding to reduce peak demand. This way the available power is not all used up after a few short hours if there is still a shortage on the grid.
- the disclosed system can still benefit the customer.
- the system can be programmed to discharge the batteries when the cost of electricity is high enough to generate profits, recharge when it is cheapest, and regulate the power inside the home to help protect the loads within.
- a configurable minimum amount of charge will be maintained at all times to ensure that the vehicle is available to be driven where it needs to go.
- the generative means will be utilized if the price of electricity is higher than the cost of replacement fuel for the generator or fuel cell. If net metering is not available, the home can simple be powered partially or fully by the car's generative means or battery during high-price periods so the residents are not paying the utility peak prices for electricity.
- the system is made up of the following: 1 .
- a bi-directional outlet-type interface including measurement and monitoring of at least power in, power out, voltage, frequency, power factor (will use these measuring means to identify a power- related emergency such as a brownout / blackout.
- a relay, breaker, or switch that is locally or remotely controlled to allow the outlet to disconnect the vehicle from the grid in the case of a power outage or other emergency (may be internal or external to the bi-directional outlet)
- a communications means which may be one or more of the following: communication over power line (COPL), Bluetooth, 802. 15.4 / ZigBee, cellular wireless, IP computer network, used to establish communications with the utility directly, the utility meter, one or more BEVs/PHEVs/FCVs, and/or computers, PDAs, or other electronics devices.
- COPL power line
- Bluetooth 802. 15.4 / ZigBee
- IP computer network used to establish communications with the utility directly, the utility meter, one or more BEVs/PHEVs/FCVs, and/or computers, PDAs, or other electronics devices.
- Absolute location means which may be determined using GPS or extrapolated using a relative location means with respect to a known location such as the electric utility meter or outlet used to connect the vehicle to the grid.
- a fuel line which connects to the natural gas or other fuel source to expand the producing capacity of the vehicle
- the bi-directional outlet will have a means for connecting with the household electrical wiring, whether it is hardwired or connects through a standard H OV / 220V wall outlet. It will also have a receiving means for accepting an electrical connection to the vehicle, which may be in the form of a standard 1 10V / 220V plug.
- the outlet will determine which vehicle is plugged into it by one or more of the following methods: load signature analysis (by power factor, current draw, harmonics, combination or other method, electronic communications with the vehicle, etc.
- the information shared by utilities and accessed by the system either directly or through the utility meter may include a plurality of information, which may include: 1. Pricing information, both current and forecasted
- the information collected by the utility or other entity which controls the system may include, but is not limited to:
- Vehicle type including battery capacity, generator / fuel cell size, and available fuel / charge 2. Whether or not the vehicle is in a mode which will allow energy regulation, electricity generation, or charging
- the system serves as a mediator between the utility, energy aggregator, home, and / or vehicle because each may be using a different set of monitoring, control, and communications protocols to communicate, including BACnet, LONworks, OpenWAY, etc. With updated communications profiles, the system will be able to mitigate the commands and transactions between any utility, home system, vehicle, and energy aggregator. This way there is no setup required for the system to work. Any vehicle can be used in any outlet, and the owner receives the benefits from his or her vehicle.
- Knowing the vehicle type and power plant information allows the utility or aggregator to selectively allow charging/generation to maximize effectiveness of its load limiting and power reliability programs.
- the utility may allow regulation during all hours, or only during times when ACE is outside the desired range specified by the utility.
- the mode that the vehicle is in is important because utility or utility- sponsored charging and generation control programs will only be accepted if there is a way to opt out in situations when charging is needed immediately or a full charge (or tank of gas) is desired by the customer. Also, the vehicle or outlet is then able to keep track of customer settings, and the utility is saved a lot of data retrieval and processing.
- the disclosed system will buffer the home and vehicle from the grid in the event of a severe brownout or blackout, allowing the home to receive electricity from the vehicle to provide power.
- Utilities with smart meters can assist with recovering from energy emergencies by using the battery- powered AMI meters to block electrical flow to homes affected by the brownout / blackout in order to lower the amount of load on the grid
- Residences and locations with EVs, PHEVs, and FCVs can then be brought back on the grid to help increase the available power, and then homes without generation means can be brought back online without fear of sending the grid back into chaos by turning on all residences at the same time
