Windmills are normally stopped when there is too much sun (PV) and Wind in DE. I would like to see more storage for that produced electricity (and even if it‘s producing H2 with losses or charging cars or stabilizing mega batterie packs, than to just stop them ( moving them out of the wind). I just read in the weekends newspaper that legacy coal powered Power plants have increased their amount of the whole energy production in the 1st quarter of this year in DE due to low a wind. What a pity. Many thanks to Björn and Edgeir!!!

In the U.K., some new power companies are offering similar services. I’m trialing a domestic electricity tariff which follows the wholesale electricity price. We only charge our EV when we have excess solar PV or when the price of grid electricity is low (at night). We would like to use our EV battery to power our home, but V2G is not available here, even though our Leaf supports bidirectional charging. The alternative is to install a Powerwall 2 or similar, but the economics are questionable.

The answers to the energy situation is most importantly, reduce use, as in increase efficiency, and stop unnecessary use. Then there's DSM, Demand Side Management, when to take that power from the grid, just managing when to take power from the grid doesn't need to have any significant drawbacks, or costs, but has huge potential. That's what's brilliant. Specific energy storage should be last resort, and primarily done to fill actual need for energy when there's no better way to do that, not to "make use of excess energy". It's great to "find" use for excess energy, as with DSM, like Tibber does. But to "create" use for excess energy with specific investments in energy storage is not the big picture solution for grid management. What most people seem to fail to realize is that the issue is filling a need, with as little cost and negative consequences as possible, not making use of all the electric power generated at any cost.

Yes Ediger is right that is not cost effective to use the car battery to storage grid energy. The battery is selected to be ideal for EV's meaning have the highest energy density possible to get the best range and be just good enough to last for the warranty period typical 8 to 10 years about 160000km and that is just around 400 to 500 cycles the battery needs to handle (400 cycles x 400km = 1600000km). LiFePO4 has lower energy density but also a much larger cycle life over 5x higher than NMC typical used in EV's. Still even LiFePO4 when used in EV's are typically optimized for energy density so they will still not be as good as those used for house energy storage. And then even with LiFePO4 used specifically for energy storage it barely makes sense at current cost and is mostly good for large scale energy storage still not cost effective for individual homes. Things may improve in battery cost and cycle life that grid connected EV's will make economic sense but not right now.

The main degradation for my battery that I use to fully power my offgrid house is not due to cycle life but due to calendar aging degradation. In 3 years of full time use I lost a bit more 4% of the original capacity and I use fairly heavy the battery as is just a 4.5kWh and I use around 120kWh/month not counting the heating that is also fully electric but that uses thermal storage.

One of the main reasons I placed a pre-order for the F-150 Lightning with V2H capability is that I want to do my own load balancing. We live in rural Georgia, and our solar net metering pays out at bulk rate $0.029/kWh every day at midnight. I want to bank my excess production on sunny days and power my house with V2H on cloudy days. This won't be cost effective on its own, but I detest the net metering terms so much that I'm doing it as a bit of revenge against the electric provider. Not to mention I'll have a full size electric pickup to enjoy as an added bonus, as well as to make more use of my significantly oversized solar installation. There's a feature here which allows the power company to control your air conditioner for a certain amount of time a day for load balancing, and they give you a discount on your bill to have that privilege. This seems to be the same concept your guest is talking about, only with higher amperage applications.

~ 8:00 cost loss may apply to Norway, where PV doesn't make as much sense, but cost loss can be over-compensated in countries, where you have your own PV. From PV, the kWh is priced way below 10¢/kWh, while German grid Electricity incl taxes etc typically costs almost 31¢. Also it applies way less in countries, where you can draw electricity based on electricity stock exchange prices, where prices can even go negative, thus lowering customer prices (which still stay positive, at least in Germany because of all thise taxes and fees) by more than 10¢/kWh. Always have a look at the bigger picture, not just one country. Still, I'm opting for ~12kWh home storage (~15 kWp PV) as my house will be heated by heat pump and the home battry storage is incentivized. And would simply like to have the car as an extra storage, just in case. And for stuff like camping of course :-) Edit: now that I'm at 18:02, tibber offers flexible prices aswell (and sometimes even negative?), so ... Edit 2 - 19:04 - no, end customers don't get paid for using electricity, because tax&fees are around 23¢/kWh, while grid electricity prices only go down to almost -10¢/kWh. But industry customers can indeed draw power for negative prices during those time slots. Edit 3 - some hours later - erm, the thumbnail says "V2G", but I'm thinking V2H all the time ... for V2G, indeed many parameters (taxes, fees) would have to be changed, so EV owners could indeed earn some money this way or at least stay even. VW for example is one of the real big players and they want to change this game through their subsidiary "Elli", which is an electricity supplier, and not only for EVs. But I fear they're going to change the game in a way that they (and similar bigger companies) will make the profit and customers only get a minimal share :-/

V2G is not that difficult to implement and also not problematic in terms of cell chemistry. However, two very different paths are conceivable, on the one hand frequency stabilization through short-term infeeds and withdrawals and on the other hand the V2H applications to support the house. The former can help the local network operator to better regulate his local network and the latter is not particularly appreciated by any external provider because it means that less energy can be sold and of course there is no local network load at all. And of course this runs counter to the business model of all those providers who have already positioned themselves in the energy market and are now concerned about their assets. A distinction should always be made here, however, that the owners (and operators) of the local / supraregional / national energy networks are each different companies and these in turn differ from the companies that sell the electrical energy, at least in Germany. With regard to the aging of the batteries and the on-board chargers, the situation is as follows: If you want to make the batteries as healthy as possible, you should only use short strokes for frequently changing discharges / charges in the SoC range between 60 and 40% exploit, which in the best temperature window of the performance may be up to 1C. For use in a domestic context, larger strokes of the SoC are also possible, but significantly lower power should be withdrawn / fed back. Here, too, it is important to ensure operation in the optimized temperature window. In principle, it is also possible to design the on-board charger to be bidirectional. However, several chokes and filter stages have to be installed in order not to impose any harmonics on the network. Since these additional components require installation space and generate additional weight, such an implementation cannot be designed for very high outputs, so frequency stabilization and control power cannot be done well with it, unless you can control a vehicle fleet in this way. Ultimately, however, large fleet associations such as bus depots and garbage trucks and logistics locations will come into question for V2G anyway, because they also have sufficient capacity at the power connection. The main obstacles are the reservations of all those players who are currently still earning money with the services and who have to forego their high margins through such flexibility. Without a doubt, arbitrage models equalize the development of electricity prices over the course of the day. Of course, this does not play into the cards of the energy traders and could even jeopardize their business model. Therefore, there are great reservations about V2G. Ultimately, however, it will be necessary to enable the switch to renewable electricity generation, as the volatility of generation can be evened out.

However, this is all good business for them, but considering it will affect the end user by stopping charging when the prices at at their lowest, how will they compensate the end user for this? As the best interest for the customer is obviously to charge when the prices are at their lowest, vs stopping charging for x-min when it's at the lowest.

I'm not sure that even the proposed smart charging makes any sense or difference at all. In other countries, we need to develop V2G asap to ensure that we can maximise renewable and a carbon neutral energy mix, otherwise our EV's will be powered by gas or coal powerplants, which is pointless. The paradox of Norway? Number 1 in EV adoption and number 5 in the world in oil production per capita. Oil exports are paying for your EV's, so Norwegians are net mega-polluters.
