EUDP (Danish) funded project, which intends to holistically investigate technical and economic system benefits and impacts by large scale electric vehicles integration in Bornholm, augmented by real usage patterns, grid data and field testing for across continents replicability. Project scale: 1.4 M€; Internal budget: 0.7 M€; 04/2017 – 09/2020.
Interreg South Baltic (European) funded project, which intends to develop systems solutions for the implementation and scale-up of electric vehicle systems. The approach will comprise vehicles, charging posts, payment solutions, business models, and information and discussions with companies and organizations that are interested in investing in fleets of electric vehicles. Project scale: 1.9 M€; Internal budget: 0.2 M€; 01/2018 – 09/2021.
The main goal of INSULAE is to foster the deployment of innovative solutions aiming to the EU islands decarbonization by developing and demonstrating at three Lighthouse Islands a set of interventions linked to seven replicable use cases, whose results will validate an Investment Planning Tool that will be then demonstrated at four Follower Islands for the development of four associated Action Plans. Project scale: 12 M€; Internal budget: 1.2 M€; 04/2019 – 03/2023.
The aim of the Parker project is to validate that series-produced electric vehicles as part of an operational vehicle fleet can support the power grid by becoming a vertically integrated resource, providing seamless support to the power grid both locally and system-wide. Furthermore, we seek to ensure that barriers regarding market, technology and users are dealt with to pave the way for further commercialization and not least to provide an evaluation of specific electric vehicles’ capability to meet the needs of the grid. Ultimately, Parker will contribute to ensuring the role of electric vehicles as contributors to securing an economic and reliable power system based on a high share of renewable energy.
In EcoGrid 2.0, we are demonstrating an electricity market with flexible power consumption in private households. We are remotely controlling 1,000 heat pumps and electric radiators on the Danish island of Bornholm in an attempt to optimise their power consumption in line with the amount of power available in the power system at any given time. We don’t want the residents to freeze, which is why we are looking into what is required for homeowners to allow their power consumption to be regulated for them, and what their comfort limits are. We are also developing the link between private households and the electricity market with a new actor in the market: The aggregator.
