North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) Stands Up EV Task Force NERC's Reliability and Security Technical Committee (RSTC) has approved the formation of the Electric Vehicle Task Force (EVTF). The EVTF's purpose is to encourage collaboration between electric utilities and representatives from the Electric Vehicles (EVs) automotive industry and builds on earlier work undertaken by the California Mobility Center EV Grid Reliability Working Group, an EV task force established by the CMC in collaboration with EnerTech Capital, North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), WECC and Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. The goal of the NERC EVTF is to establish a common language and develop recommended utility interconnection requirements, procedures, and approaches to support the reliability of the Bulk Power System (BPS) in response to the increasing adoption of EVs observed by the ERO Enterprise. The focus of the EVTF is to address integration challenges and develop potential solutions to the engineering challenges posed by the integration of this emerging load type. This group aims to serve as an open stakeholder forum for Electric Vehicles (EVs), Charging Station Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), and utilities. The forum will work towards enhancing utility knowledge of modern EV charging technology, improving the modeling of such technology, and establishing a common language to exchange impact and risk information between electric utilities and the automotive industry.   Background The EVTF is seeking volunteers to join the team with specific skills, knowledge, and technical expertise in the following areas: ·        Design of EV charging stations, charging points, or charging algorithms, ·        Design of EV discharging behavior or algorithms, ·        Electrical interface design of EVs or EV service equipment, ·        Utility programs and interconnection studies for EV equipment, ·        Other interested parties, including entities affected by adoption at-scale of EVs or EV service equipment. If you are interested in becoming a member, NERC requests that fill out a brief survey. https://lnkd.in/ei4re-4J   Contact Questions should be directed to the EVTF NERC Liaison JP Skeath at John.Skeath@nerc.net Meetings The group is expected to have four hybrid or virtual meetings per year, supplemented with conference calls as needed, to facilitate the completion of work products.   Other Information For more information about the EVTF, see the EVTF Scope document.  https://lnkd.in/eq4U5r6u
