Description
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) – Artificial Intelligence Grid-Enabled Transportation Electrification in America’s Automotive Heartland the Rise of Dynamic and Customer-Sited Distributed Energy Resources (Ders) and Electric Vehicles (Evs) Is Increasing the Complexity of Grid Management. Specifically, the Lack of Real-Time Visibility on DER-Associated Impacts to the Grid – Both Where They Are Located and When They Are Being Used – Can Create Reliability Concerns and Challenges in Grid Planning, Interruptions to Charging Sessions Due to Grid Constraints, and Longer Integration Times for Ev Chargers. Ev Registrations in Consumers Energy’s Service Area Have Grown from 4,000 in 2017 to 30,000 in 2023, with Continued Exponential Growth, Increasing Load in Localized Areas. Moreover, the Number of Ev Manufacturers and Other Original Equipment Manufacturers (Oems) Is on the Rise, with Each Entity Providing Unique Energy Management Solutions to Customers. This Market Development Requires Better Coordination, Data Sharing, and Alignment Between Stakeholders to Manage Ev Charging, the Grid, and Deliver Benefits to Utility Customers. This Project Seeks to Address These Challenges Through Technology Innovation and Industry Collaboration and Is the Culmination of Multiple Years of Dedicated Internal Efforts and the Establishment of Strategic External Partnerships.
