At the seams of vehicle-grid integration, residential and commercial buildings with bidirectional electric vehicle (EV) chargers can unlock new value streams through a variety of applications. This session will examine a recent pilot project, conducted by Roanoke Electric Cooperative, Fermata Energy, and other clean energy organizations, that demonstrated the potential of this technology, quantifying the value of vehicle-to-building services using a 15-kW bidirectional charger made by Fermata. Topics will include reducing behind-the-meter building costs through three use cases: load following, peak load reduction, and backup generator support while the building was islanded.
