Flexible and smart charging for the e-vehicles of the future
The share of renewable energy is increasing, leading to fluctuations in electricity generation depending on sun and wind. The number of electric vehicles has also increased sharply worldwide in recent years, leading to rising energy demand. However, e-vehicles could also be part of the solution to bridge power grid fluctuations and energy shortages in the long term.
The batteries of electric vehicles can make an important contribution here: through intelligent flexible charging, the charging process can be controlled so that the vehicle is charged at times when the grid or market conditions are favourable. In unfavourable conditions, the charging process is stopped. In addition, bidirectional charging also allows energy from the battery to be fed back into the power grid if required. This helps to keep the entire power grid stable and to store surplus electricity for times when consumers need it.
Fact sheet: Ideas competition
We are looking for concrete ideas, solutions and examples concerning the following questions:
- What motivates owners of e-vehicles, company/car sharing fleets and e-charging stations or mobility hubs to make their batteries available for smart/intelligent charging?
- How can consumers be supported so that they align their flexible, smart charging behaviour more closely with the needs of the electricity grid?
- What (new) services, cooperation opportunities or business models are created by smart charging?
This ideas competition takes place within the framework of the research project “GAMES – Grid aware mobility and energy sharing”.
