Imagine your car acting like a giant battery for your house or the city. Instead of just taking power, it can give energy back when the grid is stressed or prices are high. This project builds the software and hardware to make this two-way energy flow safe, easy, and profitable for everyone.
Large-scale EV adoption is blocked by high infrastructure costs and a grid that cannot handle the load. Current systems don't allow EVs to give energy back to the grid, wasting a massive potential energy storage resource.
An Open V2X Management Platform for data exchange, a cost-effective V2X charging station prototype, and a co-simulation tool for city-wide energy planning.
If you are a DSO dealing with grid instability from renewable energy — this project developed algorithms and tools that allow you to use EV flexibility to balance the power network. This helps mitigate the impact of high EV adoption on transmission levels.
If you are a CPO dealing with high installation costs and inefficient charging — this project developed a cost-effective V2X station prototype. This allows for charging multiple EVs simultaneously while managing energy flow back to the grid.
If you are a HEMS provider dealing with volatile energy prices — this project developed V2X management strategies to integrate EVs with local renewable energy. This allows homeowners to optimize energy use in buildings with local generation capabilities.
The project focused on creating a cost-effective V2X station prototype to reduce the financial barriers to deployment. Based on available project data, specific price points for the hardware are not disclosed.
Yes, the project uses a co-simulation tool to evaluate V2X impact across different cities, considering parking lots and building characteristics. It is currently being tested in four pilots across Denmark, Greece, Portugal, and Slovenia.
Based on available project data, the specific licensing terms are not mentioned, but the project developed an Open V2X Management Platform to ensure interoperability and scalability.
The project is proposing a regulatory framework to promote user adoption of V2X. It specifically targets the transition toward carbon neutrality by 2050.
Integration is handled via an Open V2X Management Platform that allows information exchange between end-users, operators, and systems while ensuring data privacy and security.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with a 55% industry ratio, comprising 12 industrial partners and 3 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, combined with 2 universities and 2 research centers across 5 countries, indicates a high focus on commercial viability rather than pure theory.
