Until now, electricity for electromobility has mainly flowed in one direction – from the charging point to the vehicle. This may soon change with vehicle-to-network applications, so-called vehicle to grid (V2G).
It writes Norwegian Electric Car Association on its website and says that Porsche has now started attempts to use the car to balance the power grid. Nissan was the first to come up with this idea, and now Porsche is embarking on what is described as a realistic pilot test conducted by Porsche, the network operator TransnetBW and the consulting company Intelligent Energy System Services (IE2S). This test has shown that electrical balancing power can be stored in the high-voltage batteries of an intelligent swarm of electric cars.
Five series-produced Taycan were connected to the mains via the Porsche Home Energy Manager (HEM) both in the home environment and under laboratory conditions. Experts from Porsche Engineering had already adapted the software for these control centers in advance.
– The charging technology of Porsche Taycan and our Home Energy Manager and Mobile Charger products have great potential in the future. The pilot test showed that. And the balancing power market is not the only thing such a merger system can be used for, says Lutz Meschke, Deputy Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG in a press release.
