Description
The chargers will allow bi-directional power flows between the cars and the electricity network. They will be controlled by an innovative aggregator platform. Charge control by the aggregator platform will lower operation costs and support a more efficient electricity system. The demonstrator is across several distinct geographical locations in the UK and focuses on fleet vehicles.
The project will bring together car companies and power system stakeholders in a unique collaboration. It will encourage significant take-up of BEVs in the coming decade. It will lower the cost of ownership of BEVs by providing services to the power system.
The three work packages are:
- Collection and analysis of customer data from the demonstrator.
- Technical analysis of the impacts and benefits of V2G systems on electricity distribution networks.
- Cyber-security assessment of V2G systems.
