Imagine if every electric car plugged into the grid acted like a giant, shared battery. Instead of all cars pulling power at once and crashing the system, this software coordinates them to charge when energy is cheap and plentiful. It's like a conductor for an orchestra of cars, making sure the grid stays stable while putting money back into the drivers' pockets.
Rapid EV adoption creates massive power spikes that threaten grid stability and increase management costs for operators. Simultaneously, EV owners face high charging costs and lack ways to monetize their vehicle's battery capacity.
A plug-and-play Virtual Power Plant (VPP) consisting of a white label SaaS charging app and a machine-learning forecasting model to trade energy flexibility.
If you are a grid operator dealing with demand spikes from EV adoption — this project developed a plug-and-play virtual power plant that enables peak-shaving. This makes grid management more cost efficient and avoids expensive infrastructure investments.
If you are a charging provider dealing with high energy costs — this project developed a white label SaaS charging app. It allows you to connect drivers to energy markets and offer smart charging incentives to lower bills.
If you are a green energy producer dealing with wasted power during peak production — this project developed a machine-learning forecasting model to shift EV demand. This improves the ROI on your wind and solar investments by using EVs as flexible storage.
The project provides the solution as a SaaS platform offered as a white label charging app. Specific pricing tiers are not mentioned in the available project data.
The system has grown to over 750,000 users and has successfully executed the first smart charging sessions in the Netherlands and Norway.
Based on available project data, the technology is delivered as a SaaS platform and white label app, though specific patent or licensing terms are not detailed.
It is designed as a plug-and-play virtual power plant that connects EV drivers to charge points and energy markets, allowing DSOs and TSOs to access flexibility.
The project period is from 2024-04-01 to 2026-03-31, with the first smart charging sessions already active as of month 12.
The project is led by a single SME, DEFTPOWER BV from the Netherlands. This 100% industry-led consortium indicates a strong focus on commercial viability and rapid market entry rather than academic research, as evidenced by the immediate focus on user growth and SaaS deployment.
