Power demand is currently soaring in some parts of Europe. Grid congestion is gradually becoming a major issue in some countries like The Netherlands.
Against that background, the surge in sales of electric vehicles in recent months appears to exacerbate this power crisis.
However, electric vehicles can actually turn into a strong asset to curb grid congestion thanks to solutions like smart charging or bidirectional charging.
INCIT-EV teams have been working on these technologies for four years as they are at the heart of some of our use cases:
- the INCIT-EV use case in Haarlem, in The Netherlands, that focus on aggregated smart-charging
- the INCIT-EV use case in Utrecht, in The Netherlands, that focus on bidirectional charging.
How is it possible to leverage these technologies to curb grid congestion?
To find out, don’t miss our webinar : “Smart and V2G Charging: are EVs the problem or the solution to grid congestion?”! on April 8th from 11:00 to 12:30 CET.
