Utility-transit nexus: Leveraging intelligently charged electrified transit to support a renewable energy grid

The transportation sector is a major greenhouse gas emitter. Concurrent electrification of vehicles and investment in renewable energy sources (RESs) is required to mitigate these emissions. The introduction of intermittent RESs such as solar and wind at a large scale presents challenges to utility operators. This study quantifies the opportunity a Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Battery Electric Bus (BEB) fleet offers in overcoming these challenges. A …
