European Network Codes to Mandate Harmonized Electric Vehicle Charging and Storage Integration by 2028

Bernhard Schowe-von der Brelie from FGH underscores the critical role of European network codes in enabling vehicle-to-grid (V2G) flexibility, which is pivotal for integrating renewable energy and electric vehicles into current power systems. These codes, while stringent, are necessary to manage operational challenges posed by increased decentralization due to renewables and electromobility like V2G technology. They ensure technical compliance through requirements such as frequency stability via active power control and voltage management amidst fluctuating generation patterns. Harmonized standards across Europe are essential to prevent complications arising from varied national regulations affecting car manufacturers with mobile installations like EVs. A new revision aims at incorporating comprehensive guidelines on V2G technologies by 2028 when it becomes a binding EU-wide regulation ensuring uniformity without individual country modifications. The document also classifies electric vehicles based on capacity levels: EV1 starts at 2.4 kilowatts; EV2 ranges up to 50 kV; and EV3 extends up to one megawatt capacity—vehicles exceeding this are treated as storage systems focusing on grid contributions rather than consumption alone. Compliance involves mandatory equipment certificates especially significant for high-capacity connections requiring detailed connection agreements akin to studies under revised harmonized network codes expected by 2028.
