V2X-Flex: Unlocking the energy flexibility potential of domestic bi-directional EV charging technology

V2X Flex是一个合作项目，旨在利用可互操作的双向充电解决方案释放和扩展电动汽车(EVS)的灵活性潜力。通过与Energy Systems Catapult(ESC)合作，并与Wallbox、Indra、西门子、大众和Nissian合作，ev.Energy将开发原型软件和新的商业模式，这将降低国内使用V2X双向充电的进入门槛，提供能源灵活性服务。通过Innovate UK资助的Max Grid项目，ev.Energy的智能充电软件、移动应用程序和虚拟发电厂(VPP)平台在过去24个月中在全球的用户已从约1,000人扩大到60,000人。我们还使V1G从创新走向完全商业化，英国第一个商业交易的VPP只使用电动汽车向英国电力网络提供电网服务。我们在充电生态系统中的中心地位，以及通过我们的合作伙伴关系大规模部署我们的软件的能力，使我们能够在每个市场聚合足够的资产量，以提供规模化的家庭能源灵活性服务。这一创新将采取颠覆性方法，开发新的软件，以提高下一代CCS双向充电器的互操作性，并为V2H、V2B和V2G使用案例设计新的商业充电即服务主张。对以前的项目采取更广泛的方法，ev.Energy拥有60,000名电动汽车司机的平台和ESC的Living Lab和Consumer Insights团队将被利用，与现有和未来的电动汽车司机共同开发/测试新主张，这些主张强调在直接经济利益的基础上增加便利性、弹性、自力更生和碳节约。分解活动包括发布一份面向行动的行业白皮书，介绍部署和采用V2X技术的障碍，并有专门的工作方案，以确保项目的影响最大化。

V2X Flex is a collaborative project aiming to unlock and expand the flexibility potential of electric vehicles (EVs) using interoperable, bi-directional charging solutions. Partnering with the Energy Systems Catapult (ESC) and collaborating with Wallbox, Indra, Siemens, VW and Nissian, ev.energy will develop prototype software and a new business model which will reduce entry barriers for domestic use of V2X bi-directional charges to provide energy flexibility services.Through the Innovate UK funded Max Grid project, ev.energy's smart charging software, mobile app and Virtual Power Plant (VPP) platform has scaled from ~1,000 to \>60,000 users worldwide in the last 24 months. We have also taken V1G from innovation to full commercialisation with the UK's first commercially traded VPP using only EVs to deliver grid service to UK Power Networks. Our central position in the charging ecosystem and ability to deploy our software at scale through our partnership enables us to aggregate sufficient asset volumes in each market to deliver domestic energy flexibility services at scale.This innovation will take a disruptive approach, developing new software to increase the interoperability of next generation CCS bi-directional chargers and design new commercial charging-as-a-service propositions for V2H, V2B and V2G use cases. Taking a broader approach to previous projects, ev.energy's platform of 60,000+ EV drivers and ESC's Living Lab and Consumer Insights Team will be leveraged to co-develop/test new propositions with existing and future EV drivers that emphasise increased convenience, resilience, self-reliance and carbon savings on top of direct financial benefits.Dissemination activities including the publication of an action-oriented industry whitepaper on the barriers to deployment and uptake of V2X technology have a dedicated work-package to ensure the impacts of the projects are maximised.
