"Synergy"

Enexis stimulates electric road transport by adapting its distribution grids and developing the needed software. The synergy between electric driving and renewable energy sources is found by coupling them through the electricity grid. Electric vehicles need to be charged and thus provide storage capacity. This opens the opportunity to transfer much more energy with the capacity of the existing grid: the hidden potential of the grid can be unlocked. When managed in an intelligent way, it is possible for the grid to cope with the extra energy consumption of electric cars and use the fluctuating production of renewables for this additional load in an optimal way.

Mobile Smart Grid

To realise this Enexis has started with the development of the so-called ‘Mobile Smart Grid’. This concept includes the development of data collection and control systems. Internet should support the flow of information needed for intelligent charging of electric cars, i.e. adjusting the loads to the fluctuating supply and available network capacity, without the car owner experiencing any inconveniences.

Smarting the Grid for E-Mobility

• The "well to wheel efficiency" of electrical vehicles is far higher than of traditional ones
• Electrical vehicles support large scale system integration of renewables and offer sustainable transportation
• Enexis Mobile Smart Grid (R) concept enables optimal utilization of the grid for charging millions of electric cars
