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

V2X Flex是一个合作项目，旨在使用可互操作的双向充电解决方案释放和扩展电动汽车（EV）的灵活性潜力。通过与Energy Systems Catapult（ESC）合作，并与Wallbox、Indra、Siemens、VW和Nissian合作，ev.energy将开发原型软件和新的商业模式，以降低国内使用V2X双向充电的准入门槛，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、移动的应用程序和虚拟发电厂（VPP）平台在过去24个月内在全球范围内的用户已从约1，000人扩展到\> 60，000人。我们还将V1 G从创新推向全面商业化，英国首个仅使用电动汽车的商业交易VPP为英国电网提供电网服务。我们在充电生态系统中的核心地位，以及通过合作伙伴关系大规模部署软件的能力，使我们能够在每个市场聚合足够的资产量，以大规模提供国内能源灵活性服务。这项创新将采取颠覆性的方法，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V2 H设计新的商业充电即服务提案，V2 B和V2 G用例。采取更广泛的方法，以以前的项目，ev.energy的平台60,000+电动汽车司机和ESC的生活实验室和消费者洞察团队将利用共同开发/测试新的主张与现有的和未来的电动汽车司机，强调增加便利性，弹性，在直接经济利益的基础上，实现自力更生和碳减排。针对V2X技术部署和采用障碍的行业白皮书提供了专门的工作包，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.
