The move towards setting up a more eco-conscious sustainable energy system has led to certain technologies getting their rightful amount of attention in recent times, one of them being the vehicle to grid integration services (VGI). The team at Navigant Research has recently come up with a report that sheds light on the current and future prospects all the way up to 2024 while the analysis of these prospects have been carefully based on different segments involved such as geographical region involved, VGI capacity and revenue in minute details for plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) with vehicle-to-grid capacities.

VGI enabled vehicles by partaking in activities of grid-balancing such as frequency regulation or demand response, can generate revenue and also decrease utility bills for their owners. Though it is important to understand that these vehicles being basically run on electricity can generate quite a massive demand which if unregulated can cause problems to the electricity distribution system especially during peak hours such as office hours. Click to tweet: Going by the forecasts made by the report, VGI services worldwide is expected to rope in a total of $68 million between the years of 2015 to 2024.

Sales of PEVs has picked up all over the world with more 300,000 units having been sold in 2014, hence people involved with developing VGI technologies are coming up with greater frequencies. The introduction of the technology of VGI has allowed something that could be a burden to the grids to now becoming an effective tool of renewing electricity generation and balancing load generation. This could mean at least theoretically electricity facilities for PEVs becoming marginally cheaper and cost-effective.

This industry being quite in its infancy established players aren’t much there, but entrants to this segment are expected to be either major aggregators of the energy sector. Aggregators are much likely to promote VGI-enabled convoys to cater to markets that promise higher returns. They would more likely push capital in local grid service areas to avail noteworthy power capacities.

“Vehicle Grid Integration,” as a report from the house of Navigant Research analyzes and notes market options for VGI technologies to serve in support of grid stability and reliability. The report also includes several factors to be taken into account for this sector as well as current barriers that act as detriment to this service. Included are various case studies and market profiles for comparative study on significant V2G technologies.

An Executive Summary of the report is available for download free of charge on the Navigant Research website.

Boulder, Colorado – 13 May 2015 – The global market for plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging services and charging equipment sales, including global market forecasts for commercial and residential charging system unit sales and revenue from charging services through 2023 has been analyzed in a recent report from Navigant Research.
The commercial segment depends more on applicable business strategies and, in some regions, government policy whereas the rise in sales in the residential sector of the PEV charging market tends to grow alongside PEV sales. These differences in the two sectors aside, generation of revenue in both segments is expected to grow in the following years as the industry for electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) continues to expand to acquire an estimated net worth of $11.3 billion in recent years up to 2023.  According to the research by Navigant, the current phase in terms of residential charging is barely focused on the chargers on offer rather the focus is on lowering the price charged while a transaction occurs. At the same time, the commercial charging market is in a very unstable mode with experimentations going on various business models that can be implemented even including advertising and even giving out free charging incentives.
 
A major barricade preventing further growth in the commercial charging market is a lack of coordinated operating between different players involved, from the challenge of paying for network access to the incapability of stations to connect with each other across multiple networks, according to the report. Though the EVSE industry has made strides to resolve operative issues between different providers by adopting open standards, the issue still remains a point of focus, as it allows equipment to be centrally managed regardless of hardware and charging station information to be aggregated and shared with drivers regardless of software and systems.
 
The report, Electric Vehicle Charging Services, covers the residential and commercial charging market segments and analyzes the potential uptake of direct current (DC), alternating current (AC) and wireless electric vehicle charging equipment. Forecasts made in the reports have been divided up by segments (residential or commercial), region and also type of chargers involved. Forecasts of revenue from electricity demand and charging services are also included. A detailed summary of the report is available for download on the Navigant Research website free of charge.
