Flinders University V2G Trial

The initiative involves installing and maintaining 20 10 V2G and 15 smart chargers for the University’s growing EV fleet and public use. Through utilising bi-directional and smart charging, it allows the University to harnesses 100% renewable energy generated by ENGIE’s 119MW Willogoleche Wind Farm during the night and supplemented by Flinders University’s 2.2MW solar power systems at the University during the day. "Then, between 5 pm and 9 pm when the South Australian grid is under high demand, the stored 100% renewable energy in the EV batteries is discharged into the campus grid, enabling the university to reduce its demand when the wider South Australian grid is gas-fed or under stress.Then, between 5 pm and 9 pm when the South Australian grid is under high demand, the stored 100% renewable energy in the EV batteries will be discharged into the campus grid. Therefore, enabling the University to significantly reduce its peak demand.
