Activities

		Brooklyn Smart Energy Hub
		The Brooklyn Smart Energy Hub, a collaborative project between First Student and Con Edison, aims to demonstrate a scalable, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) solution to support medium and heavy-duty fleet electrification and address economic barriers in transitioning from diesel to electric power. This innovative hub will integrate 12 electric school buses equipped with rooftop solar panels and a solar array installed on the facility’s roof to create a robust energy generation, battery storage, and delivery system. Utilizing First Student's First Charge technology—a cost-effective, trenchless power deployment approach—the project will reduce installation costs and streamline deployment, even in challenging climates and urban settings. Beyond reducing emissions and operational costs, the hub’s bidirectional charging capabilities will offer backup power during peak demand, emergencies, and for essential services like hospitals, contributing to grid resilience and advancing V2G technology as a critical component of future energy systems.

		Digital Twin: Buildings As Batteries
		An innovative approach to digital twins that enables decentralization of power grids at unprecedented speed and scale.
