This page explains how to use the smartphone and web-based interactive demonstration of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) functionality. It uses a central webpage (web link below) to display the status of a fictitious V2GCity (on the V2GCity Map) and then uses your own smartphone (via it's web browser capability) to create and control a new V2G enabled 'electric vehicle' within this V2GCity.
Instructions
- Use your PC to logon to: http://V2GCity.ddns.net/mainscreen
- Use your smartphone to 'CREATE' a new vehicle by logging on to: http://V2GCity.ddns.net
- A new car is created for you on your phone screen and is then also displayed on the PC mainscreen, displaying the unique CAR identifier as shown on the smartphone screen.
- YOU control your car...choose ‘DRIVE' to watch your car drive around the various locations in the city, ‘CHARGE' to re-charge your batteries, or ‘V2G' to let your car deliver energy back to the electrical grid (see the example smartphone screen below)
- Watch the effect of charging or discharging (V2G) your electric vehicle battery on the electrical grid
