4 FAQs about Free consultation on bidirectional charging for airport solar energy storage cabinets

What is bidirectional charging?

One relatively new approach to addressing this challenge is bidirectional charging. You might have read terms like Vehicle to Home or Vehicle to Grid, which are two specific forms of bidirectional charging. With this solution, the battery of an electric car is used as a mobile energy storage unit.

Should federal facilities use managed and bidirectional charging?

Federal facilities and their fleets serve critical missions that may be compromised or require backup power in the event of a grid outage. As the federal government moves toward fleet electrification, site decarbonization, and deployment of local distributed energy resources (DERs), agencies should consider both managed and bidirectional charging.

How can bidirectional charging improve our energy systems?

And in the case of vehicle-to-grid, allowing electric vehicles to discharge energy back to the grid, bidirectional charging can also stabilise the grid. Ultimately, this technology has the potential to improve the resilience and sustainability of our energy systems, making them more efficient and reliable.

Could bidirectional charging be a real-life solution?

Hager Group is also conducting a field test to explore the potential of bidirectional charging. In real-life scenarios, the exchange of electricity between vehicles and homes is optimised, with a focus on improving efficiency and intelligence.
