Talk of session: Electric Vehicle Grid Integration - Scaling up Flexibility

As the number of electric fleets, depots and fast-charging hubs is rising across Europe, grid integration is becoming increasingly important. Large charging sites can either strain local feeders or become controllable and flexible loads that support grid stability if managed smartly.This session highlights the latest experiences from utility companies, network operators, fleet managers and technology providers who are turning e-mobility into an active part of the power system. We will explore how to align charging demand with grid capacity and market signals and also how we can successfully scale up e-mobility with increased demand-side flexibility. What are some best practices already in use? The panelists will also discuss the economic benefits for aggregators and end users as well as the organizational and regulatory conditions that are needed to transition from 'plugging in' to paying off through smart and bidirectional charging. The panel will highlight best practices for integrating demand-side flexibility into a resilient energy system.
