UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF V2G TECHNOLOGY ON GRID STABILITY DURING PEAK HOURS IN INDIA

India has set an ambitious goal of becoming Net Zero in carbon emissions by 2070. To achieve this goal there are significant steps being taken especially in the power and electric vehicle sector. A revolution that involves symbiosis of both the sectors, is the integration of V2G (Vehicle to Grid) technology in India. This paper gives an overview of power sector and electric vehicles market in India followed by need, benefits, and infrastructure required for bringing V2G in India. It also includes theinsights froman interview with the founder of SHERU, a start-up which provides cloud energy storage and is working closely with the related concepts. The methodology to calculate crude oil saving, C02 emission, journey cost, public charging and home charging is also discussed. The paper looks into the case studies of few developed countries that have been using V2G and emphasizes on how this technology can help to achieve sustainability goals.
