Shipping Containers for Power Generation & Energy Storage
Transform shipping containers into battery energy storage systems (BESS). These containers can house batteries for storing excess energy generated from renewable sources such as solar or
Bidirectional charging unlocks resilience benefits of EV batteries, offers demand-response capabilities, and can decarbonize backup power. Through V2G, bidirectional charging could be used for demand cost reduction and/or participation in utility demand response programs as part of a grid-efficient interactive building (GEB) strategy.
A bidirectional EV can receive energy (charge) from electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and provide energy to an external load (discharge) when it is paired with a similarly capable EVSE.
Bidirectional electric vehicles (EV) employed as mobile battery storage can add resilience benefits and demand-response capabilities to a site's building infrastructure.
The size of a light-duty EV battery (approximately 15–100 kWh) makes individual bidirectional units ideal for smaller applications like individual buildings, where they can optimize the use of PV and replace or supplement emergency diesel generators. Larger bidirectional EV fleets can be employed for larger applications.
