Delhi Plans for EVs to Sell Stored Power Back to Grid

DELHI: The Delhi government is developing a pioneering plan to enable electric vehicles (EVs) to sell stored power back to the grid. This innovative initiative aims to optimise energy use and enhance the city's sustainability efforts by leveraging the growing number of EVs as mobile power storage units.

The proposal involves integrating vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, which allows EV batteries to discharge power back into the grid during peak demand periods. This system not only helps balance energy loads but also provides EV owners with a potential revenue stream by selling surplus electricity stored in their vehicle batteries.

Officials from the Delhi government's transport and power departments are collaborating on the project, which aligns with the city?s broader objectives of promoting renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions. By implementing V2G technology, Delhi aims to create a more resilient and efficient energy ecosystem, tapping into the latent potential of EV batteries.

The plan is currently in the preliminary stages, with detailed feasibility studies and pilot projects to be conducted to assess technical and economic viability. Key considerations include developing the necessary infrastructure, ensuring regulatory compliance, and addressing potential challenges related to battery life and grid stability.

Stakeholders from the automotive, energy, and technology sectors have expressed interest in the project, recognizing its potential to transform the energy landscape and accelerate the adoption of electric mobility. The initiative underscores Delhi?s commitment to innovative solutions for sustainable urban development and positions the city as a leader in integrating smart energy technologies.

As the plan progresses, further details and timelines will be announced, marking a significant step towards a greener, more energy-efficient future for Delhi.

Creativity is for Humans, Productivity is for Robots!

On most construction sites, the rhythm of progress is measured by the clang of steel, the hum of machinery and the sweat of thousands. But increasingly, new sounds are entering the mix: the quiet efficiency of algorithms, the hum of drones overhead, and the precision of robotic arms at work. Behind the concrete and cables, an invisible force is taking hold: data. It is turning blueprints into living simulations, managing fleets of machines, and helping engineers make decisions before a single brick is laid. This is not the construction of tomorrow; it is the architecture of today – built on ..
