Abstract (German)

As we progress towards a growing electrification of the individual mobility sector, one of the main challenges of the future is to perform an intelligent regulation of the electrical grid, in order to maintain its stability. Hence, future electric vehicles cannot just plug in and start charging, but they will need to be regulated with innovative functionalities. The HCD2.0 will be upgraded accordingly: thanks to a smart-grid optimization algorithm and new hardware electronics, the system allows an intelligent charging process, maximal grid stability, integrability in home and building automation systems, increased safety and reduced electricity costs for the end-user. Cost reduction is also a main topic to be taken into account during the project.
