however the true innovation comes from the integrated energy-sharing platform, which uses a bidirectional wireless charger to direct energy to and from the car or house as needed.
The project energy control center manages the system electrical demand and load by balancing the intermittent power from the buildin 3. 2 kw solar array with supplemental power from the vehicle.
In essence this approach was designed to take advantage of the fact that even though we aren using our car and our house every minute of the day,

in order to reduce power consumption when transmitting and receiving information, wireless systems need to send signals that can easily travel from one side of the human body to another.
so signals are communicated with much lower path losses and potentially, much lower power consumption. In their experiments, researchers demonstrated that the magnetic communication link works well on the body,
but they did not test the technique's power consumption. Researchers showed that the path losses associated with magnetic field human body communication are upwards of 10 million times lower than those associated with Bluetooth radios."

For an individual consumer, having a battery behind the meter provides a great deal of flexibility in managing energy use.

EV batteries can hold a significant amount of energy. The Nissan leaf for example, holds 24 kilowatt-hours,
when energy demand and prices are low. By charging when the power use is low, EVS can help flatten the typical load curve of the grid
Utilities used to make deals with large energy users, such as factories, and call them on the phone to cut power use during peak power days.
S Energy Information Administrationthe phone calls of old evolved into automated systems. And eventually, in deregulated markets,
businesses formed that collect the demand response commitments from multiple large energy users. Then they sell that capacity to reduce power
when needed on the daily energy markets. This has been an effective method for reducing dependence on the polluting
and Austin Energy in Texas have begun experimenting with demand response in the residential market. Smart thermostat maker Nest uses its internet-connected thermostat to respond to demand response requests on peak demand days.
If utilities could draw on the energy stored in behind-the-meter batteries and EVS, it could have a range of benefits.
For the consumer, energy storage enables a whole new way to look at home electricity use. It can provide energy security,

In the late 1990s, the government created renewable energy credits (RECS) as a way to separate renewable from nonrenewable energy.
This process matches energy use against a solar energy supply (using SRECS) in strict accordance with what the US Federal trade commission (FTC) requires to claim use of solar energy.
So, in a nutshell, Sunport tracks the energy you use, then syncs your account up with micro credits to upgrade your grid energy use to solar, based on the well established and regulated SREC market.

All the energy in the universe was created in the Big bang that created the cosmos with some of it locked up as mass.

However, this energy-making process is steadily in diminishing. Professor Driver said:''While most of the energy sloshing around was created in the aftermath of the Big bang,
