In Kassel, Volkswagen has set up a large storage facility with used batteries from the VW E-Up small electric car (endurance test),
The goal of this unique pilot project is to stabilize the supply of electricity in cities by using electric cars as buffers in the form of storage facilities outside the power grid.
At the same time, successful energy transition in Germany requires additional storage options for electricity from clean energy sources such as wind power and solar energy. EVs have large batteries and are ideal for soaking up excess electricity quickly and safely.
Digitally connected electric vehicles (EV) have been used to help stabilize the German power grid as part of a household based virtual power plant for the first time during their everyday use.
The increasing diffusion of electric vehicles contributes to a growing electricity demand in the coming years. At the same time, this integrates millions of mobile storage units into the electricity system, which has a rising need for flexibility to balance the intermittent generation from photovoltaic systems and wind turbines.
"We are proud to be the first in Germany to prequalify an electric car for primary regulation," explains Andreas Walczuch, Head of System Services and Energy Market at Amprion. "This innovation shows us that electric cars may have a part to play in securing system stability."
