Plug-in Hybrids in New York
This article is about plug-in hybrids New York and their plan to add many new hybrid plug-in's to the state fleet.

NYSERDA
The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, NYSERDA, is a public benefit corporation created in 1975 under Article 8, Title 9 of the State Public Authorities Law through the reconstitution of the New York State Atomic and Space Development Authority. Their goal is to reduce New York Emmissions and create/research new technologies to do so.

EPRI
The Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. (EPRI) conducts research relating to the generation, delivery and use of electricity.

Effects
NYSERDA has begun a study on the effects of plug-in hybrids on the power grid; plug-in hybrids save a lot of gas around 100 mpg, but plugginh them into the grid outs a lot of pressure on the grid and makes it hard and aggrevating on the power grid. The study include: Some quotes from workers at these organizations about this study: "Our analysis will develop the definitive assessment of the impact of both introducing and the widespread use of plug-in hybrid vehicles onto the transmission and distribution systems," said Arshad Mansoor, vice president of power delivery and utilization at EPRI. "This grid assessment is another crucial step that will lead to commercialization of plug-in hybrid vehicles," he said, "and NYSERDA deserves a lot of credit for taking this important initiative."
 * identification of the base-case scenario of transmission/distribution capacity, assuming no plug-in hybrid vehicles penetration
 * identification of several realistic plug-in hybrid vehicles penetration scenarios, including vehicle characteristics and required load support
 * identification of grid, environmental, and financial impacts of the various penetration scenarios
 * implications of vehicle-to-grid applications - also called "V2G" or reverse charging, or, more technically, utility aggregated load control
