Exploring the Complex Interactions for V2G Integration, Standards and Harmonization - Part 1
The interactions between stakeholders and the equipment that are required for transportation electrification are complex, and even more so for V2G. To achieve interoperability and maintain the stability of the electric power system while meeting the needs of the EV owners, a diverse set of standards will need to be coordinated and aligned. These include those standards used by EVs, EV service equipment, electric power system (EPS) operators, and aggregators. In addition, EPS operators will need to have a very high level of confidence that these interactions will operate as expected. This expert panel consists of standards subject matter experts in the area of interconnection, EVs, and aggregation. The panel will discuss relationship between grid and EV standards, the ongoing interoperability activities, and the challenges associated with two-way communications and power flows, and the opportunities and gaps in coordination between the diverse standards organizations.
Key Takeaways:
- Implementing V2G requires coordination between a wide variety of actor and interfaces
- Identify gaps in current SDO operating paradigms versus that which will be required for integration into the EPS
- Understanding of the ongoing activities to enable cross organization participation and coordination
- Discussion of potential opportunities to address interoperability challenges of V2G

Senior Life Member
IEEE
Hawk is active in IEEE and SAE standards development work that is focused on resources that interconnect to the electric power system. He was a working group lead that developed IEEE 1547.9 Guide on interconnecting energy storage to the electric power system and an annex on electric vehicle V2G. Hawk also participates in Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standards work updating SAE standards for V2G functionality and is a member of the IEEE SCC21 Standards Coordinating Committee. Hawk is currently affiliated with the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
Hawk retired after a 37-year career at DTE Energy as the Manager of Power Systems Technologies. In that position, he was responsible for deploying Distributed Energy Resources (DER) into the T&D planning and operating process, managing all DER interconnections and grants related to energy storage, smart inverters and plug-in electric vehicles where he worked closely with the Detroit automobile industry. Hawk was also instrumental in demonstrating and implementing low-cost smart grid sensor into the distribution system using a Distributed Energy Distribution Management system (DERMS) to supplement traditional SCADA system. Upon his retirement, his group had deployed enough sensors to provide 100% monitoring coverage of the electric distribution system.
Hawk is a graduate of The University of Michigan with a Master's in Engineering with a focus in Electric Power Engineering. a contributer to IEEE 1547
