Energy demand from private and commercial electric vehicle (EV) charging is expected to reach 791.9 TWh by 2050, per the latest Siemens forecast for the contiguous US, as a reference case scenario. Siemens finds most utilities are only just beginning to explore methods to address the pending planning challenge or the opportunities EVs present. This whitepaper explores the potential impact EVs could have on the grid and billions in investment. 

The growing number of electric vehicles and political initiatives are driving the demand for fast charging infrastructures. Siemens PTI provides a broad range of vendor-neutral consulting services in the field of electromobility – ranging from forecasts of EV adoption to detailed implementation roadmaps for charging infrastructure and customized workshops.

With the current and expanding opportunities for battery storage, utility planners and investors require appropriate analyses, valuation approaches, and tools to assess project value for this rapidly evolving technology. Within this whitepaper, learn how Siemens developed an integrated framework and analytical toolset to determine battery storage value for utility planning and merchant generator needs.

High penetration of renewable generation in both transmission and distribution systems creates uncertainties of system operation conditions, particularly when conducting protection analyses. Retirement of many conventional power plants causes system reliability concerns and existing and emerging regulatory requirements, such as NERC Protection and Control (PRC) Standards, which mandates enforceable requirements on protection studies.
