Exploring the Complex Interactions for V2G Integration, Standards and Harmonization - Part 2


A continued discussion of topics from Part 1, including current revisions to ISO/IEC 15118-20 to include the ability of the EVSE to provide the required data to the EV during AC charging/discharging, so the EV can perform many of the DER functions, such as voltage and/or frequency ride-through, frequency droop, ROCOF responses, volt-var control, etc. These updates to the EVSE-EV standard will permit EVs to provide grid support functions as they increasingly impact the electric power infrastructure.

Panelists:

Haukur-Asgeirsson, V2G expert
Haukur (Hawk) Asgeirsson, P.E.
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
