Smart Charging (V1G), Vehicle-to-home (V2H), Vehicle-to-grid (V2G)

Electric vehicle batteries can do more than just move cars! From an economic and ecological perspective, it makes sense to use electric vehicle batteries for grid stabilisation in the future. By 2030, there could already be a controllable potential of up to one hundred gigawatts in Germany alone, which is far more than the output of all current storage types combined.
At the Vehicle-To-Grid, discuss with experts from business, the public sector and science how this potential can be realised in your organisation or field of activity! The focus will be on implementation possibilities within the next few years.
If you attend the conference, you can also visit all the events of the Battery Conference 2022, which is taking place at the same time, free of charge.

What is Vehicle-to-Grid or Vehicle-to-Home?
What is Smart Charging?
How much storage capacity will be available?
What are the current hurdles?
What are the effects on battery ageing?
How far along are the technology and the market?
Vehicle manufacturers and suppliers
What can vehicles achieve?
What developments can be expected in the coming years?
Hardware and software services
Challenges of the charging infrastructure
Different application scenarios

Services for vehicle and system
Integration into the electricity system
Evaluation of services at vehicle level
Operation and facilitation of pilot projects
What were the challenges?
How can the technical possibilities be transferred into practice?
Renowned speakers will shed light on the focus topics “V2G and V2H from a vehicle perspective”, “V2G, V2H and smart charging from a charging infrastructure perspective”, “Economy” and “Pilot projects and demonstrators”.

Each programme session will end with a time slot for your personal questions and discussion with the speakers and participants. The speakers will be available for discussions during the conference.
With the accompanying public poster session, scientific content, research results and ideas will be communicated in a direct dialogue. The researchers will be at their posters and will be available to answer questions from visitors. The integration of the conference into the international Battery Power Conference offers a broad spectrum for encounters and intensive exchange.
If one deals with the topic of bidirectional charging as the future of electromobility, the following terms automatically come up:
Vehicle to Grid (V2G), Vehicle to Home (V2H), Smart Charging (V1G), and Vehicle-to-Building (V2B) are different operating modes related to (bidirectional) charging.
For the grid connection of the electric car, charging infrastructure with Combined Charging System (CCS) or CHAdeMO standard is required, the former in combination with the communication protocol ISO 15118-20.
Via the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) version 2.0, back-end operators, aggregators and energy companies can interconnect the individual electric vehicles capable of feeding energy back into the grid to form virtual power plants and thus contribute to grid stabilisation.
On the part of the distribution network operators and transmission network operators, there is great interest in opening up the balancing power market for electric vehicles so that they can also provide balancing power in the same way as stationary storage systems.
In order to bring these concepts to market maturity, questions around battery ageing, regulation, digital resilience and (open) protocols still need to be discussed.
This means that OEMs (vehicle manufacturers), network operators and end customers (vehicle owners) as well as industrial companies and service providers that operate and charge vehicles are all involved. Billing companies and lawyers must also be involved. This shows the complexity of the issue.
From an economic and ecological point of view, it seems extremely attractive to use unused or hardly used and expensive energy storage capacities to stabilise the electricity grid. In this way, the construction of power lines can be partially avoided and, in the best case, periods without wind and solar yields can be bridged. The legal framework conditions are important for this.
These and other topics will be discussed at the V2G conference offered here.
The conference will take place parallel to the international conference Advanced Battery Power. The keynote lectures in English as well as the exhibition and the poster session are equally accessible to both groups of participants. It is even possible to attend the parallel sessions of the other conference.
