GridEd Short Course - Electric Transportation

Summary

Beginning with an overview of the electric transportation space, this course will cover the basics of transportation electrification opportunities, vehicle technologies, charging technologies, and the benefits of electrified transportation technologies. Students will learn about integration of goods movement technologies and electric vehicles with the grid, reverse energy flow from electric vehicles and pertinent standards relative to the electric vehicle space. The course will introduce participants to methods being used to manage electric vehicle charging and to mitigate high power loads that have very low duty factors. Laboratory testing and field demonstration results will be presented to highlight the impact of transportation electrification. Students will be introduced to relevant standards and recommended practices, including the latest developments in the National Electric Code, Society of Automotive Engineers documents, and other standards impacting the electrified transportation space.
