I-PG&E izokwethula ama-EV pilot asebenzisa amacala amaningi aqondiswe ohlangothini ngalunye

I-Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) imemezele ukuthi izothuthukisa izinhlelo ezintathu zokuhlola ukuhlola ukuthi izimoto zikagesi eziqondiswe ohlangothini lwesibili (ama-EV) kanye namashaja anganikeza kanjani amandla kugridi kagesi.

I-PG&E izohlola ubuchwepheshe bokushaja obuqondiswe ohlangothini ngalunye ezindaweni ezahlukene, okuhlanganisa emakhaya, emabhizinisini kanye nakuma-microgrid endawo ezindaweni ezikhethiwe ezisengozini enkulu yomlilo (ama-HFTD).

Abashayeli bezindiza bazohlola ikhono le-EV lokubuyisela ugesi kugridi futhi banikeze ugesi kumakhasimende ngesikhathi sokungasebenzi. I-PG&E ilindele ukuthi okutholakele kwayo kuzosiza ekunqumeni ukuthi ingakhuphula kanjani ukusebenza kahle kobuchwepheshe bokushaja obuhambisana nezinhlangothi ezimbili ukuze kuhlinzekwe izinsizakalo zamakhasimende negridi.

“Njengoba ukusetshenziswa kwezimoto zikagesi kuqhubeka nokukhula, ubuchwepheshe bokushaja obuqondiswe ohlangothini ngalunye bunamandla amakhulu okusekela amakhasimende ethu kanye negridi kagesi kabanzi. Sijabule kakhulu ukwethula lezi zindiza ezintsha, ezizokwengeza ekuhlolweni kwethu komsebenzi okukhona futhi zibonise ukuthi kungenzeka lobu buchwepheshe,” kusho uJason Glickman, iphini likamongameli omkhulu we-PG&E, ubunjiniyela, ukuhlela kanye namasu.

Umshayeli wendiza wendawo yokuhlala

Ngohlelo lokuhlola amakhasimende asemakhaya, i-PG&E izosebenzisana nabakhiqizi bezimoto kanye nabaphakeli bokushaja izimoto ze-EV. Bazohlola ukuthi izimoto ze-EV zabagibeli ezilula emakhaya omndeni owodwa zingabasiza kanjani amakhasimende kanye negridi kagesi.

Lokhu kufaka phakathi:

• Ukunikeza amandla okusekela ekhaya uma ugesi ucimile
• Ukuthuthukisa ukushaja nokukhipha i-EV ukusiza igridi ukuhlanganisa izinsiza ezivuselelekayo kakhudlwana
• Ukuvumelanisa ukushaja nokukhipha i-EV nezindleko zangempela zokuthengwa kwamandla

Lolu hlelo lokuhlola luzovulekela amakhasimende ahlala abantu abafika ku-1,000 azothola okungenani u-$2,500 ngokubhalisa, kanye no-$2,175 owengeziwe kuye ngokuthi babambe iqhaza kangakanani.

Ukuhlolwa kwebhizinisi

Ukuhlola amakhasimende ebhizinisi kuzohlola ukuthi ama-EV asebenza kahle kakhulu futhi asebenzayo futhi mhlawumbe alula ezindaweni zezentengiselwano angasiza kanjani amakhasimende kanye negridi kagesi.

Lokhu kufaka phakathi:

• Ukunikeza ugesi osekelayo esakhiweni uma ugesi ucimile
• Ukuthuthukisa ukushaja nokukhipha i-EV ukuze kusekelwe ukuhlehliswa kokuthuthukiswa kwegridi yokusabalalisa
• Ukuvumelanisa ukushaja nokukhipha i-EV nezindleko zangempela zokuthengwa kwamandla

Uhlelo lokuhlola amakhasimende ebhizinisi luzovulekela amakhasimende ebhizinisi angaba ngu-200 azothola okungenani u-$2,500 ngokubhalisa, kanye no-$3,625 owengeziwe kuye ngokuthi bahlanganyele kangakanani.

Umshayeli we-Microgrid

Ukuhlolwa kwe-microgrid kuzohlola ukuthi ama-EV—alula futhi aphakathi nendawo kuya kwesisindo—axhunywe kuma-microgrid omphakathi angasekela kanjani ukuqina komphakathi ngesikhathi semicimbi yokuvalwa kwamandla okuphepha komphakathi.

Amakhasimende azokwazi ukukhipha ama-EV awo ku-microgrid yomphakathi ukuze asekele ugesi wesikhashana noma ukushaja kusuka ku-microgrid uma kukhona ugesi oweqile.

Ngemva kokuhlolwa kokuqala kwelebhu, lo mkhankaso uzovulekela amakhasimende angafika ku-200 anama-EV asezindaweni ze-HFTD eziqukethe ama-microgrid ahambisanayo asetshenziswa ngesikhathi semicimbi yokuvala amandla okuphepha komphakathi.

Amakhasimende azothola okungenani u-$2,500 ngokubhalisa kanye no-$3,750 owengeziwe kuye ngokuthi abambe iqhaza kangakanani.

Ngayinye yalezi zinhlelo ezintathu kulindeleke ukuthi itholakale kumakhasimende ngo-2022 nango-2023 futhi izoqhubeka kuze kube yilapho izikhuthazo ziphela.

I-PG&E ilindele ukuthi amakhasimende azokwazi ukubhalisa ezivivinyweni zasekhaya nezamabhizinisi ngasekupheleni kwehlobo lika-2022.
