Power2Drive Europe: Contributing to the Energy Transition With Bidirectional Charging
2024年5月2日 - 9:39PM
ビジネスワイヤ(英語)
E-mobility is about much more than driving on climate-neutral
electricity from renewable sources. The batteries of electric
vehicles can be used as temporary storage. And it’s not just
vehicle owners who benefit from this: In the medium-term,
bidirectional charging can take the burden off distribution grids
while making them more flexible. Power2Drive Europe, the
international exhibition for charging infrastructure and
e-mobility, showcases the latest state of the art. As part of The
smarter E Europe, the continent’s largest alliance of exhibitions
for the energy industry, it will take place from June 19–21, 2024,
at Messe München. The Power2Drive Europe Conference, the industry's
meeting point and forum for exchange and discourse among experts,
stakeholders, and thought leaders in the new mobility sector, kicks
off one day earlier.

There are three types of applications that bidirectional
charging of EV traction batteries can be used for: In
vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-building (V2B) solutions, the
storage and consumption of the electricity takes place entirely in
the user’s system, meaning in a private household or a company,
behind the meter. In vehicle-to-grid (V2G) solutions, the e-car is
part of the power system and can provide flexibility services to
the distribution grid by storing electricity and feeding it back
into the grid.
Potentials of bidirectional charging
A study conducted by NRW.Energy4Climate and e-mobil BW forecasts
that by 2035, approximately 33 million battery electric vehicles
could be on the roads in Germany. Of these vehicles, about 65
percent are projected to support bidirectional charging. This
translates to a potential of around 7.6 million vehicles serving as
mobile energy storage units. Remarkably, this capacity, reaching up
to 380 gigawatt-hours, surpasses the demand for stationary battery
storage by threefold. These findings underscore the significant
potential of electromobility in facilitating the integration of
renewable energies.
V2G and regulatory requirements
The basic regulatory legal framework is still missing for the
V2G solutions that are immediately useful for the grid to work.
Markus Elsässer explains that “Bidirectional charging will be a
decisive element of the energy transition. The technology has the
potential of effectively taking the burden off distribution grids
and making the more flexible.”
Markus Fendt, Managing Director of The Mobility House,
emphasizes the societal and economic importance of this
application: “V2G bidirectional charging dramatically reduces
redispatch. Based on the price of electricity alone, every electric
car could have been driven 40,000 kilometers at no extra cost in
2022. It also reduces the need for grid expansion. And last but not
least, we would realize innovation in our leading industry, the
automotive industry, in Germany.
Power2Drive Europe sees massive growth
Within the range of topics at The smarter E Europe, e-mobility
is becoming more important and recognized: In a survey, a third of
the trade visitors of all exhibitions of The smarter E Europe
expressed an interest in the topic e-mobility. Consequently, the
exhibition space of Power2Drive Europe has been expanded by 80
percent compared to the previous year.
Power2Drive Europe
Power2Drive Europe is the international exhibition for charging
infrastructure and e-mobility. Under the motto “Charging the Future
of Mobility”, it is the ideal industry meeting point for players
from the world of sustainable mobility. The focus is on charging
infrastructure, electromobility, mobility services and sector
coupling. Power2Drive Europe will take place from June 19–21, 2024
as part of The smarter E Europe at Messe München.
