This session will provide an overview of the first-ever V2G deployment in New York City in which NineDot Energy partnered with ride-share provider, Revel, and V2G technology partner, Fermata Energy. The V2G program commenced in 2022 and is now in its second year of operation under ConEd's Value of Distributed Energy Resources (VDER) program. The speaker will provide an overview of the V2G deployment and the challenges faced in commissioning, operations, and energy management, and will provide critical lessons learned that can help other providers build successful and scalable V2G deployments within and outside of challenging urban environments such as NYC.

Key Takeaways:

• How to deploy commercially-scalable V2G projects, including specifics such as maximizing kWh grid deployment under vehicle state-of-charge (SOC) constraints, bill tracking and corrections, and utility interconnections
• How to navigate and optimize complex incentive programs (VDER), tariffs, and demand response programs
• Why and how the industry must advance V2G programs such that they become accessible to average consumers as more V2G-capable vehicles become available
• Why co-locating stationary battery energy storage systems (BESS) unlocks immense value to an EV depot, with or without V2G, including: resiliency, demand management, peak-hour charging power, and tariff- and demand-optimized electricity pricing
