REV has agreed to deliver EV conversion technology and integrated vehicle to grid (V2G) and vehicle to site (V2S) networking solutions under the Aloha Micro Grid program for the US Army’s Tank and Automobile Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC).
REV is to supply the US Army with two REV 300ACX V2G-capable electric vehicles for the project.
REV’s electric vehicles, which will have built-in connectivity to REV’s AutoGrid Network, will act as dynamic energy storage devices on the power grid, together acting as an extension of the power plant whenever they are plugged in.
With REV’s AutoGrid connected to TARDEC’s military micro-grid, the network will demonstrate and validate various scenarios for energy efficiency including frequency regulation, spinning reserves, load shedding, peak shaving, and harnessing wind and solar energy.
