ABB and Volvo Buses are partnering to co-develop and to commercialize electric and hybrid buses with open standards-based direct current (DC) fast charging systems. Volvo’s new Electric Hybrid bus, which reduces fuel consumption by 75% compared to conventional diesel buses, will debut at the IAA exhibition in Hannover, Germany, in September.

The low voltage design enables high-capacity batteries to operate in lower power ratings needed for decentralized systems (i.e. Eguana has also worked with Germany-based Sonnenbatterie on a similar ESS solution. residential rooftop solar). It also hosts the consumer gateway and battery management system.

In addition, CPOs also find themselves supporting an increasing variety of charger types made by different suppliers to address varying charging use cases, including Level 2 AC chargers for home, MDUs, workplaces, fleets, and destination charging, and Level 3 DC ultrafast chargers for public charging on the road.

But up to 30% of the generated power may not be put into the grid and therefore could be available for hydrogen production (up to 3,600 GWh/a). Two recently opened projected in Germany, Dr Sames pointed out, have demonstrated how using hydrogen to store surplus energy was already a viable technology.

In the first half of 2020, the proportion of green electricity as a percentage of the total electricity mix in Germany exceeded 50% for the first time. Due to the DC voltage level in the overall grid, the connection between the PV system and the vehicle does not require an inverter and is thus a particularly efficient solution.

Vehicle to Grid is a really interesting area to do projects. The idea here is that you can connect your EV to the power grid and flow power from your EV to the Grid. An electric car acts as a load or micro-generating station for the grid. Advantages of V2G in grid perspective 2.

At an average electricity price of €0.258 (Germany, July 2013), driving 100 kilometers costs just €3.02 (US$4.00). Via a DC/DC converter it also supplies the vehicle’s circuitry with voltage of 12 V. and the e-Golf.

However, the worldwide demand for energy is expected to increase by 20 percent in 10 years, with a large majority of that demand supplied by sustainable energy sources like wind power. These networks include cables that connect wind farms to the shore and supply electricity to our power grid infrastructure (Figure 3).

After the proposal for the Combined Charging System (CCS) was published in Germany in 2011, a group of automakers and suppliers formed CharIN to promote the adoption of CCS. Today, the organization has grown to include over 230 members around the world, and is working to establish ever-more-powerful charging standards. It’s a must.
