Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE
With the rapid expansion of renewable energies and the market ramp-up of electromobility, operators and users of private and semi-public charging infrastructure (LIS) are facing new challenges. This is precisely where the BALANCE innovation project comes in: The development of advanced analysis techniques and the use of IoT data from charging processes, decentralised consumers and generators enable intelligent forecasts. These create the basis for demand-based control of charging processes and home energy management systems (HEMS) - an important step towards grid stability, energy efficiency and the integration of renewable energies. | Duration: 05/2025 - 10/2026

Thermograph of the bi-directional charging unit (without casing, with the heat sink in the centre).
We are developing bi-directional charging units which are able to charge batteries and to feed electricity into the grid when required. The background is the increase in electricity generated from regenerative energy sources, in which fluctuating generation is confronted with a load which also fluctuates. As it will not be possible to control the future electricity grid without integrating further storage capacity, electric vehicles with their storage batteries will contribute significantly toward grid stabilisation. | Duration: September 2008 - December 2009
