Prof. Zakir Hussain Rather from Grid Integration Lab is leading the V2G pilot from IIT Bombay. Through this pilot, demonstration of how V2G can help in increasing hosting capacity of rooftop PV, EV charging load, Peak shaving, demand response, congestion management, ancillary service support for increased renewable energy integration in the grid and grid resiliency will also be explored in this field pilot. Developing business models for various players in V2G services is one of the focus areas of this field pilot, shared IIT Bombay in a post on X.
“This first-of-its-kind large-scale field trial of V2G in Kerala is expected to provide constructive field data evidenced recommendations for V2G adoption for bringing effective regulations for seamless adoption of V2G at speed and scale in Indian EV ecosystem,” it said.
