Integrating Electric Vehicles in the Vermont Grid: Opportunities and Challenges

#EVs #PowerSystems #energy #engineering

The Vermont transportation sector has been identified as one of the prime targets for electrification in the next decade to meet statewide carbon reduction goals. The integration of electric vehicles poses a number of challenges, however, including the logistics of deploying charging infrastructure and emerging electric power grid constraints.

Jointly hosted by UVM's center on energy and autonomy, CREATE, and the local IEEE PES Green Mountain Section, this event will feature short talks about these issues from utility representatives, researchers, and transportation experts. Following these talks, we will convene a panel discussion to dialogue about common pain-points and the path forward.

Confirmed participating organizations include

• Burlington Electric Department
• Washington Electric Coop
• EnergyHub
• Vermont Agency of Transportation
• Green Mountain Transit
• Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO)
• Researchers from UVM's CREATE Research Center
• and more!

Dinner: Pizza and drinks will be served at this event, which is free to attend. Please do register in advance.

Location: This event will be hosted at the new Patrick Leahy Center, located at the center of UVM's campus. Patrick Leahy Building 102.

Parking: https://www.uvm.edu/map/. Click on the menu on the left, expand the “parking” section and go to “visitor parking”, which shows visitor parking options. The Jeffords upper and/or lower lots are recommended, but the visitor parking in Gutterson is also a good option (10 minute walk to the Leahy Center). Parking lots require use of the “park mobile” app.
