V2G AC home EV charger supporting AMI-based VPP solution
- 2025 Honoree in Sustainability & Energy/Power, Smart Home
Integrating V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) Technology with VPP (Virtual Power Plant) in Smart Homes: This solution transforms electric vehicles (EVs) into integral components of the smart home ecosystem, enabling them to not only serve as transportation but also as energy storage units. By integrating with a VPP, EVs can interact seamlessly with home energy systems, optimizing electricity usage and providing backup power during peak times. Advanced technologies like AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure), DCU (Data Concentration Unit), and HES (Head-End System) make it possible for households to manage energy efficiently and participate in the energy market.
