The effective integration of electric vehicles (EVs) with grid and energy-storage systems (ESSs) is an important undertaking that speaks to new technology and specific capabilities in machine learning, optimization, prediction, and model-based control. As more vehicle manufacturers turn to electric drivetrains and the ranges for these vehicles extend due to larger energy-storage capabilities, EVs are becoming an important distributed energy resource (DER) that utilities, microgrids, and other industry service providers can use to help efficiently balance grid supply and demand, provide ancillary services, produce economic benefits, and support critical energy needs during outages.
