Vehicle-2-X and Grid Congestion

Tuesday, June 18, 2024

Time
04:30 pm - 06:00 pm
Hall
ICM München
Room
Room 13 B

As the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the roads continues to grow, concerns about grid congestion and its impact on the charging infrastructure are rising. This session will explore the potential of v2x technology for leveraging the power of EV batteries for flexible energy storage in order to ease the burden on the grid. Experts will discuss the critical role of v2x in managing peak power demand, optimizing charging infrastructure utilization and balancing grid supply and demand. Attendees will gain insights into the latest developments and hear case studies on v2x solutions that have prevented grid congestion, ensuring a sustainable and reliable energy transition.
