Rural Electric Mobility Enabler (REME)

在农村地区推广和采用电动汽车面临许多挑战，这些挑战包括(但不限于)：*公共充电站的可用性*支持可靠和快速充电的电网和电源*数字连接，允许支付、可用性和预订平台运行等*路边空间，提供街头选择*在敏感地区安装基础设施的复杂性(国家公园、SSSI、保护区等)*应对季节性游客带来的需求高峰这一资金竞争带来的机会使财团能够通过免费的解决方案应对挑战，这些解决方案可以在任何农村地区复制。第一个是“冷图”工具。这是一个多层次的工具，它通过查看多个数据集来了解基线数据。这包括当前充电站的供应、电力网络的限制、人口、需求等。至关重要的是，它还将能够考虑需求的季节性波动，主要是基于汽车的旅游业将对充电站网络满足需求的能力产生影响。这一工具可在许多不同的农村地区复制，所使用的数据集可以针对正在审查的不同领域的挑战。我们还将研究通过将私人和企业拥有的充电点整合到更广泛的充电网络中的可能性，通过一种创新的解决方案，促进“智能”的对等(P2P)充电选项。我们将研究“整体能源管理”：如何有效地使农村地区在电动汽车能源需求方面更独立于主电网，例如，为停车场配备不一定与电网相连的太阳能电池板。目前还没有框架或评估工具可以轻松地在英国所有农村地区采用。这是因为该国不同地区的需求不同。该项目的成果将帮助地方当局和供应商制定一条更知情的脱碳路线，并支持农村社区实现零碳和旅游业的可持续性。

There are a number of challenges to the roll out and uptake of Electric Vehicles in rural areas, these include (but are not limited to):* The availability of public charge points* The power network and supply to support reliable and fast charging* Digital Connectivity to allow payment, availability and booking platforms to operate, etc* The roadside space to provide 'on street' options* The complexities of installing infrastructure in sensitive areas (National Parks, SSSIs, Conservation areas etc)* Managing peaks in demand brought by seasonal visitors to the areaThe opportunity brought by this funding competition allows the consortium to approach the challenge with complimentary solutions which are replicable in any rural locations.The first is the 'Cold Mapping' tool. This is a multi-layered tool which looks at a number of data-sets to understand the baseline data. This includes current charging point provision, power network constraints, population, demand etc. Crucially it will also be able to consider the seasonal fluctuations in demand that, primarily car based, tourism will have on the charge point network's ability to meet demand. This tool is replicable across many different rural locations, and the datasets used can be specific to the challenges in various areas being examined.We will also look at the possibility of increasing charge point access and utilisation through the integration of privately and business-owned charge points into the wider charging network through an innovative solution which facilitates a 'smart' peer-to-peer (P2P) charging option.We will examine 'holistic energy management': effectively how to make rural areas more independent of the mains grid in relation to EV energy needs, for example by equipping car parks with solar panels that are not necessarily tied to the grid.There is currently no framework or evaluation tool that can be easily adopted across all rural areas in the UK. This is because the needs are different in different parts of the country. The outcome of this project will help the local authorities and providers draw a more informed route to decarbonisation and support rural communities in both the move to zero carbon and the sustainability of the tourist industry.
