The project is being led by Nuvve investor, Toyota Tsusho Corporation alongside Chubu Electric Power Grid Co., Inc, a Transmission System Operator (TSO) in Japan, to demonstrate how plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and battery electric vehicle (PHEV/BEV) batteries can be aggregated into a virtual power plant (VPP) to provide grid services that help balance supply and demand of electricity.
Innovation theme: Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, Nuvve's V2G GIVe™ software platform - feasibility of providing balancing power necessary for controlling the frequency and adjusting the balance of demand and supply through multiple PHEV batteries when charging, V2G technology helps integrate renewable energy sources to the grid by enabling EV batteries to store energy and then discharge the stored energy at a later time.
