Current Initiatives in Scaling Deployments of V2G
This session will discuss the current status of efforts to scale V2G deployments. One such initiative is deploying AC V2G in SCALE (Smart Charging Alignment for Europe). This is a three-year Horizon Europe project that explores and tests smart charging solutions for electric vehicles. It aims to advance smart charging and V2G ecosystems to shape a new energy system wherein the flexibility of EV batteries is harnessed. The project will run real-life demonstrations in 7 European contexts: Oslo (NO), Rotterdam/Utrecht (NL), Eindhoven (NL), Toulouse (FR), Greater Munich Area (GER), Budapest/Debrecen (HU) and Gothenburg (SE). We will also discuss Southern California Edison's current focus on a V2G-AC system demonstration with Stellantis, Eaton, EPRI, and Kitu Systems utilizing SAE J3072, SCE Rule 21, and prospective UL 1741 SC and integration with SCE's utility DERMS. Finally, we will examine key takeaways for Vehicle-Grid Integration use cases based on a pilot program spearheaded by Peak Power, emphasizing technical and mobility model lessons learned, grid services value streams, the economic case for V2G, and multi-asset virtual power plants.

Jordan Smith, P.E.
Consulting (Principal) Engineer, Grid Technology Innovation
Southern California Edison
Jordan W. Smith is a Consulting Engineer for Grid Edge Innovation in SCE's Grid Technology Innovation organization. He has been evaluating advanced technology vehicles, energy storage, and charging infrastructure starting in 1996 in the founding and growth of SCE's EV Technical Center. In 2011, California adopted battery charger efficiency standards in its appliance code, based in part on prior work by Smith at SCE, work which later led to him to chair the SAE J2894 task force on EV charger power quality. In 2013 he developed and executed the SCE test plan which enabled interconnection of the first vehicle to grid systems in the L.A. Air Force Base V2G pilot - the first V2G aggregation to engage in the California ISO ancillary services market. Mr. Smith represents SCE in U.S. DRIVE, Driving Research and Innovation for Vehicle efficiency and Energy sustainability, Grid Integration Technical Team, the U.S. collaboration with the automobile industry, federal government, and electric utilities on vehicle-grid integration. Mr. Smith received a B.S. degree in mechanical engineering and an M.S. degree in engineering management from California State Polytechnic University and is a licensed professional engineer in California.
