Course Description
This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and FutureLearn partnership.
Explore the functions, applications, and potential of vehicle-to-grid charging
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging technology is gaining a lot of traction in the electric car industry. By allowing the charging and discharging of vehicles, it turns them into mobile energy storage assets. The combination of the changing way electricity is generated and the increasing uptake of electric cars means that V2G charging could significantly reduce both costs and emissions.
With that in mind, understanding how V2G technology works and can be used is simply good business sense. This three-week course, presented by Cenex, gives you the foundation you need to work within this exciting industry.
Get to grips with vehicle-to-grid fundamentals
On this course, you’ll learn V2G charging basics and the different situations where it can be used. You’ll gain a good understanding of why the technology is as important for electric car users as it is for the energy system, and of the industry’s current state of development.
Explore the possibilities of the vehicle-to-grid industry
Once you know how far V2G charging has developed, you’ll delve into how much it can grow. By identifying barriers to adopting V2G charging, where its emerging opportunities are, and when the technology is likely to mature, you’ll gain insights into the industry’s potential. Use these to start making shrewd business decisions, or as a foundation for future learning.
