Smart Bidirectional Charging Management

Bidirectional charging of electric vehicles potentially offers benefits in many respects:

• for grid support in the distribution network (Vehicle-to-Grid)
• for the integration of renewable energy through active participation in the energy market
• for increasing the energy self-sufficiency of buildings (Vehicle-to-Home or Vehicle-to-Building)

Enabling bidirectional charging requires the coordinated interaction of various components. To this end, we work together with our customers to develop solutions.

Our R&D Services in this Field Include:

• Analysis of potential and economic viability
• Integration of fleet vehicles into corporate energy systems
• Forecast-based bidirectional charging management
• System integration testing of bidirectional charging infrastructure
• Power feed-back in the context of PV self-consumption and Vehicle-to-Home
• Communication-based integration of charging infrastructure with energy management systems (including EEBus) and cloud systems (e.g., via OCPP)
