Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'Electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles (EV, PHEV) have the potential to contribute significantly to solving contemporary and future environmental and economic challenges of mobility. Various projects in different EU member states are currently addressing the subject in an isolated manner. The G4V consortium consisting of major European electric utilities and distinguished academic institutions are now adopting a holistic European approach to analyse the impact of a mass introduction in detail in order to optimise the grid infrastructure and make use of the inherent opportunities this represents for the operation of smart grids and energy efficiency. The objective of the project is to develop an analytical framework for the planning of technological developments in the grid infrastructure and the definition of related ICT and policy requirements in order to cope with the mass introduction of EV and PHEV. On the one hand, the aim is to clearly understand the effects of a mass introduction under physically given parameters and taking into account local aspects in different EU member states. On the other hand, the opportunities consisting in active demand and storage possibilities will be extensively explored as these also imply options for managing the possible negative impacts on the grid. The project will deliver recommendations on aspects such as possible ICT solutions, grid services anticipating, RES integration, prediction of mobile customers who are potential energy traders and the impact of dedicated tariffs. To ensure an open and holistic approach, the project will take all stakeholders into account and has established an advisory board consisting of institutions along the whole value chain. The project will generate fast and openly available results within 18 months: An analytical framework to evaluate the impact of a large scale introduction on the grid infrastructure and a visionary “road map” for the year 2020 and beyond.'

Descrizione progetto (Article)
Electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles (EV, PHEV) have the potential to contribute significantly to solving contemporary and future environmental and economic challenges of mobility. . EVs have the potential to help shift our transport systems to a more sustainable model. They also offer new opportunities for the take-up of renewable energy sources and the introduction of smart grid management. However, their mass adoption depends on widespread changes in supporting infrastructure and greater public acceptance.
An EU-funded research project, G4V, brought together utility companies and research institutes from across the European Union to examine the effect on electricity networks of mass introduction of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Researchers also assessed measures that could ease the introduction of these vehicles.
The team ran simulations on more than 200 real grids to assess different charging control strategies. They looked at different types of driving as well as a variety of options for charging power and locations. They found a large variety in all the countries they looked at. Some grids are already in need of reinforcements without the introduction of EVs, whilst others could accommodate 100 % penetration of EVs without any problems.
Cost-efficient introduction of EVs will depend on suitable control strategies, which develop as usage increases. The G4V team stressed that public adoption of EVs will depend on sufficient availability of public infrastructure and other social and regulatory factors.
Project partners are continuing their work in another collaborative project. The results should be a major step towards more efficient and smarter mobility for the future.
