ABSTRACT
It is to be expected that the
number of electric vehicles will be growing in the near future. This trend comes
together with the development of smaller decentralized generation units, like PV (photo voltaic). Together with the change on demand side that comes with
the global “electrification”, this can lead to serious
grid congestion in low voltage grids and massive grid investments in solving this
congestion. Smart charging can partly solve this issue, but with using a connected
EV (electric vehicle) as a small distribution
unit, combined with bi-directional charging or V2G (vehicle-to-grid) technology, these investments can be reduced
to a minimum. In Lombok, Utrecht, the Netherlands, an innovative pilot was initiated with
smart solar charging stations, shared electric vehicles and AC (alternating current) V2G
technology. This unique combination proves that EVs are an opportunity for the grid
rather than a threat. A unique partnership with OEM Renault was established to develop
an AC V2G vehicle product line and work on open standardized communication between
the EV, the charging station and the grid.
