Free Webinar: Understanding DERs, V2X and EV Charging Infrastructure: Introduction, June 20, 12-2 pm, PT
Event Description
The first webinar of the series will provide participants with a foundational understanding of distributed energy resources (DERs), vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology, and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Attendees will gain valuable insights into how these technologies drive energy efficiency, enhance grid stability, and support the transition to a sustainable future. Designed for both newcomers and those seeking a comprehensive refresher, this session will equip participants with the knowledge and skills to confidently navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of energy innovations.
The objective of this course is for participants will be able to:
Define DERs, V2X, and EV charging infrastructure, and explain their roles in modern energy systems
Understand the basic functionality of DERs and their importance in distributed energy management
Identify the key components of V2X technology and its applications
Differentiate between various EV charging infrastructure types.
Apply lessons learned from real-world case studies.

- What are DERs, V2X, and EV Charging Infrastructure
Get a cheat sheet on all the acronyms like DERs (distributed energy resources), V2X (vehicle to X) technology, and EV (electric vehicle) charging infrastructure, including their functions, benefits, and roles in the evolving energy ecosystem
- The role of DERs in managing distributed energy resources
Understand the role of DERs in optimizing and managing distributed energy resources to enhance grid reliability and efficiency. Learn how microgrids integrate DERs to operate independently or with the grid, improving resilience and energy security.
- V2X technology: Enabling bidirectional energy flows
Define the different types of V2X (vehicle-to-grid, vehicle to building, vehicle to load, vehicle to vehicle) and explore how EVs will transform into dynamic energy assets that enhance grid stability, optimize energy efficiency, and create new opportunities for cost savings and sustainability.
- Case studies and Q&A
Best practices and lessons learned from other projects, opportunities for participants to ask questions and clarify their understanding.
