Recording of Friday, May 09, 2025 | The smarter E Europe | Exhibition Program | Language: English | Duration: 16:30 .
Smart Energy Lab is advancing energy solutions and e-mobility through pilot projects that bridge industry with academia. Collaborating with major companies like BDP and Accenture, the lab focuses on product development, partner collaboration, expert consulting services, home electrification, oilers optimization, and particularly e-mobility via their Edge Solution for EV charging. Their pilots demonstrate Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capabilities; one in Portugal quantifies savings from V2G using company-owned EVs across locations while another ongoing project in São Miguel aims to optimize local grid management by maximizing renewable use without external imports. Key findings reveal significant cost reductions—up to €20 monthly per site—through smart-charging strategies despite challenges such as high charger costs versus long-term returns due partly to unresolved software integration issues amidst evolving business models where regulatory frameworks are still developing. For V2G's commercial viability improvement requires active promotion by businesses alongside user-centric design opportunities aligned with venture capital investments policies and standardization of protocols essential for widespread adoption ensuring enhanced energy efficiency and grid stability benefits realization.
