How can local authorities deploy a future-proof, robust smart charging network? To launch the right public procurements, they need to be aware of developments in regulation and technical standards. Ensuring that cities can take these standardisation developments into account when procuring charging infrastructure is the purpose of this report.
With an increase in electro-mobility expected in the coming years, it is important to ensure that the power grid remains stable and avoid an unmanaged charging of electric vehicles. Thanks to “smart charging”, EVs adapt to both user preferences and the conditions of the power system, secure the stability of the grid, reduce renewable energy curtailment, at the same time allowing higher shares of renewable energy. Smart charging helps reduce the need for expensive grid reinforcement and additional stationary batteries.
