The Mobility House Innovates in Home Energy Management and Bidirectional Charging

The Mobility House is expanding its operations to include home energy management systems (HEMS), emphasizing the integration of renewable energy and enhanced decentralized self-consumption. The company has a history of developing bidirectional charging technologies, allowing electric vehicles to both draw power and return excess energy to the grid. This technology is paired with front-of-the-meter trading strategies to optimize energy use and promote sustainability, focusing on maximizing self-consumption of photovoltaic (PV) energy by aggregating assets like EVs and home batteries. A partnership with Solar Manager has allowed the integration of 90% of customer assets, addressing challenges in brownfield environments. Their new bidirectional charger adheres to ISO 15118 standards and includes a seamless backup power solution for residential customers. Despite regulatory hurdles, pilot projects in Germany are underway, facilitating the deployment of these innovative energy solutions. Customers stand to benefit from this system by earning income through their energy trades, significantly reducing the cost of their PV systems while enhancing overall energy efficiency.

Talk of session: HEMS & BEMS: Intelligent Energy Management from Homes to Buildings

Home and Building Energy Management Systems (HEMS & BEMS) are becoming essential tools for installers and system integrators delivering smart, energy-efficient buildings. From PV, EV charging and storage to heating, automation and grid interaction, modern EMS solutions must be easy to integrate, interoperable and future-ready. This session highlights practical solutions, standards and real-world implementations shaping the next generation of smart homes and buildings.

Panel Discussion of the Session: User Success Stories and Best Cases

The smarter E Europe Conferences 2026 | Conference Program

For more than two decades, Norway has been steadily building a marketplace for electric transport. Having started out with inexpensive short-range electric cars and household charging sockets, Norway has now moved to mass-market solutions where fast charging (DC) and grid balancing (AC) plays an ever more vital role. With more than 1,000,000 electric cars and over 10,000 fast chargers in a relatively small market, Norway offers a rare early view of large-scale electrification. Over the past decade, electric cars have seen substantial improvements, which is now making it easier for new markets to advance electrification. At the same time, Norway has to deal with challenges years before other markets do. Yet despite different starting points, we can see that most markets are facing the same core challenges. From grid-smart charging strategies to innovative business models, there are excellent examples of best practices emerging elsewhere in Europe. What will the next thing in electrification be, both in mature and in emerging markets? And what will be possible when the right people and companies come together, sharing knowledge, solving common problems and accelerating the shift to cleaner mobility?

From Market to Operation: Leveraging Forecasts for Predictive BESS Dispatch

Tuesday, June 23, 2026, 02:30 pm

The smarter E Europe Conferences 2026 | Conference Program

While predictive maintenance has become a well-known concept in battery energy storage, the next step is predictive operation. This approach aims not only to prevent failures, but also to continuously optimize system operation in real time. The goal is to maximize the performance, efficiency and lifetime of the existing hardware in each specific use case. Predictive operation extends beyond the battery cells themselves: Adaptive thermal management, intelligent inverter control and optimal coordination of power electronics all play a crucial role. By anticipating system behavior under different operating scenarios, predictive operation enables asset owners and operators to extract greater value from their storage systems while improving reliability and integration with renewable generation. This session will highlight the latest methods, control strategies and demonstration results that bring predictive operation from research into practice.
