Affordable and smart charging infrastructure for bidirectional charging
NEVERFLAT sets the course for a sustainable, flexible and intelligent charging infrastructure. Close cooperation between leading European partners is creating solutions that optimally combine electromobility and energy management.
- Grid & Co. supplies Plug & Charge in accordance with ISO 15118-20 and an e-roaming-capable charge point management system
- Integration of all developed components into an operational bidirectional charging infrastructure system
- Tests carried out at the German pilot site in Berlin in collaboration with the Technical University of Berlin and Hubject
- Research project as part of the Horizon Europe program of the European Union
- The consortium consists of 13 renowned organizations from five countries and is led by Aarhus University.
We are excited to be part of the NEVERFLAT project and to contribute our expertise in charge point management systems to the important development of bidirectional charging. Together with our partners, we are developing innovative V2G solutions that will take the integration of e-mobility and energy systems to the next level and prove that electric vehicles are not part of the problem, but part of the solution when it comes to meeting the current challenges in a changing and volatile energy system.
Aim of the project
With the increasing demand for electric vehicles, the need for an efficient, accessible and affordable charging infrastructure is also growing. The project aims to develop a cost-effective and intelligent charging infrastructure for bidirectional charging. This will promote the seamless integration of electromobility into the energy system.
By using state-of-the-art technologies such as machine learning, WBG semiconductors and advanced simulation models, NEVERFLAT optimizes energy use, increases grid stability and improves the use of renewable energy.
To achieve this, both innovative charging stations and advanced software solutions are being developed and tested at three pilot sites in Germany, Spain and Romania. These sites serve to validate the technology and demonstrate its potential for a broad, convenient roll-out across Europe.
The role of Grid & Co.
Grid & Co. is contributing its expertise to the project by providing a plug & charge and e-roaming-capable charge point management system. Based on the latest standards such as OCPP 2.1 and ISO 15118-20, this system enables innovative vehicle-to-grid (V2G) applications and ensures efficient and user-friendly control of bidirectional charging processes.
As the central interface between the vehicle, charging station and power grid, Grid & Co. is also responsible for integrating the technologies developed as part of NEVERFLAT into a fully functional, ready-to-use system. In addition, Grid & Co. is actively involved in the demonstration of V2G charging processes at the pilot site in Berlin, Germany.
