Dr. Christopher Hecht Discusses Advanced V2G Services and Upcoming Renault R5 Launch at Mobility House Conference

Being the last speaker in a conference can be challenging due to low attendance, but Dr. Christopher Hecht is pleased with the turnout for his session. He works at The Mobility House GmbH, a leader in integrating electric vehicle (EV) flexibility into the grid alongside partners like Jedlix and Octopus. With 15 years of experience, The Mobility House GmbH aims to monetize EV flexibility through V2G services. He discusses their collaboration with Renault on the R5 model, which is soon to deliver its first bidirectional vehicles capable of commercial market offers. Key components needed include an energy tariff that brings value from EVs into the market, a smart charging app for user settings (such as departure times and price optimization), and an aggregator/trader role fulfilled by them. The process involves communication between vehicles or charging stations and backend systems to aggregate flexibility into virtual batteries/power plants. This aggregated flexibility is then traded dynamically based on hourly price curves provided by electricity suppliers or via intraday continuous markets up until physical delivery time.

Talk of session: Vehicle-2-X and Grid Congestion

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.
