Symposium: V2X (Vehicle to anything)

On Wednesday, May 29, 2024, ElaadNL is once again organizing a symposium on V2X (Vehicle to anything) at its Testlab in Arnhem. They will showcase the possibilities of using the batteries of electric cars as a buffer in a sustainable energy system. What is needed to technically realize this?

The occasion is the report ‘Unlocking EV Smart Charging to reduce grid congestion – lessons from the Netherlands’ by PricewaterhouseCoopers, which addresses regulatory barriers. The findings from this report will be shared with you during the symposium. Attention will also be given to aspects of V2X that are of great importance to Distribution System Operators (DSOs). In addition, there will be a technical demonstration to show how V2X works in practice in 2024.

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and Vehicle-to-X (V2X) represent the concept of an electric vehicle returning energy to the energy network or to specific targets such as a private home or neighborhood, respectively. Thus, a car could be charged with sustainable energy from wind and sun during the day, to then supply electricity back to the grid or to the private home in the evening. This brings energy demand and supply more into balance. The Netherlands is a pioneer in this field, and ElaadNL is involved in various international projects: SCALE; in standardization initiatives to further develop the data exchange required for V2X (ISO 15118, OCPP); and has provided input to the RfG consultation through the Dutch network operators.

It will be a combination of (interactive) presentations, a demonstration and a panel discussion. See you at ElaadNL!

English will be the main language during this symposium.

Please register soon, as we have a limited number of seats available!
