XL-Connect Large scale system approach for advanced charging solutions

预计到2030年，欧盟电池驱动的电动汽车数量将达到3000万至4000万辆。电动汽车的强劲增长对欧洲的能源系统来说是一个巨大的挑战，但同时也是使用V1G/V2G/V2X技术的机会。由于车辆主要是停车，因此可以作为储能装置，以增加电网的稳定性。该项目的总体目标是优化整个充电链--从能源供应到最终用户--为所有利益相关者创造明确的利益。因此，应开发一种基于优化的收费网络的泛在按需收费解决方案，该网络综合考虑了整个收费链上的人力、技术和经济因素。对用户行为的调查以及对能源系统和电网的分析将从研究方面形成基础，以预测电动汽车车主和车队运营商未来的行为以及电网和能源系统可能存在的缺陷。先进的充电技术和控制机制的发展，以及先进的充电和部门耦合概念，将成为在4个不同的欧洲国家(比利时、德国、意大利、葡萄牙)进行虚拟和真实评估/演示的基础。同时，将建立一个智能充电仿真环境(充电链的数字孪生，具有多层次组件模型和各智能体之间代表性信息流的整体仿真环境)。这对数字孪生兄弟将结合示范行动的结果，并支持扩大规模，以展示这些技术的影响。为了确保这条充电链条的互操作性和优化，该财团包括所有相关的合作伙伴/利益相关者(能源提供商、电网运营商、充电站运营商、电动汽车设备提供商以及一家汽车制造商)。该项目已根据编号101056756的拨款协议从欧盟的Horizon 2020研究和创新计划获得资助。资金由Horizon Europe担保下的Innovate UK提供。英国参与Horizon Europe项目：XL-Connect用于高级充电解决方案的大规模系统方法得到了编号为101056756的UKRI赠款的支持。里卡多英国有限公司。

The number of battery-powered electric vehicles is expected to be at 30-40 million by 2030 in the EU. This strong increase of electricvehiclesis a big challenge for the energy system in Europe, but at the same time a chance to use V1G/V2G/V2X-technologies. As vehiclesare mainly parking, they can be used as energy storage in order to increase grid stability. The overall project objective is to optimizethe entire charging chain - from energy provision to the end user - to create a clear benefit for all stakeholders. Therefore, a ubiquitouson-demand charging solution based on an optimized charging network considering human, technical and economic factors along theentire charging chain shall be developed. The investigation of the user behavior as well as the analysis of the energy system and grid willform the basis from a research side, to predict the future behavior of EV owners and fleet operators as well as possible shortcomings inthe electric grid and energy system. The development of advanced charging technologies and control mechanisms as well as advancedcharging and sector coupling concepts, will form the basis for the virtual and real evalulations/demonstrations conducted in 4 differentEuropean countries(Belgium, Germany, Italy, Portugal). In parallel a smart charging simulation environment (digital twin of the chargingchain with a holistic simulation environment with multilevel component models and representative information flow between all agents)will be built up. This digital twin will incorporate the results of the demonstration actions and enable an upscaling to show the impact ofthese technologies. To ensure the interoperability and the optimization along this charging chain, the consortium comprises all relevantpartners/stakeholders (energy providers, grid operators, charge point operator, EV equipment providers as well a vehicle manufacturer)This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement number 101056756.Funding has been granted through Innovate UK under the Horizon Europe Guarantee..UK participants in Horizon Europe Project: XL-Connect Large scale system approach for advanced charging solutionsare supported by UKRI Grants Number 101056756.
