UPS-led SEUL consortium switches on smart-grid fleet charging solution in London; maxing out on EVs without expensive grid upgrades

Green Car Congress

A UPS-led consortium has deployed new smart-grid charging technology in London that overcomes the challenge of simultaneously recharging an entire fleet of electric vehicles (EVs) without the need for the expensive upgrade to the power supply grid. A key part of this initiative is the use of onsite energy storage batteries.

Researchers developing DC micro smart grid for charging EV fleets; Li-ion, redox flow batteries and renewables

Green Car Congress

Up to 30 electric vehicles at a time can recharge in Fraunhofer IAO’s parking garage. The aim of charge@work is to design a micro smart grid (MSG) capable of supplying the EV fleet with electricity produced exclusively from renewable sources. The MSG is designed as a direct current (DC) grid. Click to enlarge.

A Driver-Centric Approach Is Essential to Broad Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Adoption

Driivz

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, part of smart energy management , will help stabilize that demand – if we make V2G easy, convenient, and profitable for drivers to use. V2G returns the energy stored in EV batteries to the grid. Rather, a car is personal transportation available for use at any time, even at a moment’s notice.

How EVs Are Helping Humanity & Saving Lives?

Get Electric Vehicle

Before moving on further let us understand the types of EVs currently available in the market. The main type of battery used is Lithium-ion and when the charge is depleted the batteries can be recharged again. In fuel cell cars we do not have to recharge the battery. in societal costs to our health and the environment. #3.
