Sunverge announced today that the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) virtual power plant (VPP) at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia, developed with ENGIE, is now operational and providing a variety of grid services.

When first announced last year, the companies had said, "The project was developed by ENGIE to demonstrate the commercial application of bi-directional EV smart charging systems in support of the university’s business fleet electrification, microgrid operations, wholesale market participation, as well as wider market adoption."

The VPP, also developed in collaboration with Nissan Australia and Wallbox, utilizes the university’s electric vehicle fleet to deliver a variety of grid services.

"The project is one of the most advanced commercial applications of aggregated and managed bi-directional EV charging in support of the university’s business fleet electrification, microgrid operations, and wholesale market participation," Sunverge said

Sunverge said that its platform is managing the operations of the EV fleet, incorporating each vehicle’s driving constraints and ensuring that adequate operational charge is available for daily driving, while optimizing multiple V2G value streams including wholesale market price arbitrage, peak demand management, and optimization of behind-the-meter generation and demand.
