Climate Neutrality Roadmap for Zwettl

Short Description:

The path to a climate-neutral world is paved with manifold interrelated intelligent solutions. The "Fit for 55 Package" and the "REPower EU Plan" stress that accelerating green energy production and integration are essential for sustainable prosperity. A recent study presented in Nature Energy highlights the urge to shift EV-charging to day-times when ample green electricity can be expected if the deployment of photovoltaic generation (PV) rises in response to the EU goals. 

From many EU projects we learn that EV-charging can in total provide huge volumes of demand side load management (DSM). DiPS4EV addresses the integration challenge, where a building or company related Energy Management System (EMS) needs to be linked with an EV Charge Management System of some different vendor to achive intelligent coordination.

The scenarios studied focus on companies and facility managers that are increasingly forced by regulations, i.e., new Article 8 in [EC:2018/844], and their employees to provide and integrate EV charge points on their premises. 

The aim of DiPS4EV is to lower the burden to efficiently compose intelligent customised systems-of-systems that can effectively utilise intermittent renewable sources, i.e., wind and solar, to provide satisfactoy EV-charging. Simulation studies will evaluate scalability, future scenarios, and viable business cases, e.g., up to 100 % of all commuters driving EVs.

DiPS4EV intends to overcome innovation boundaries by exploring, specifying and showcasing interfaces and procedures/protocols that support seamless digitalisation. No new hardware or overarching solution, but the technical details required to let intelligent integration happen. All that shall be based on well defined use-cases, which result from joining alternate systems, operator views and the combined experience of identified user groups. 

The Integration Profiles developed in the course of setting up and solving interoperability issues at exemplary demo-sites, constitute the main project result. According to the Integrating the Energy System (IES) Cookbook, these profiles are published open access and shall cover all interoperability areas (legal, semantic, syntactic, technical, and operational) and Smart Grid Architeture Model (SGAM) layers (business, function, information, communication, and component).

In the end, the IES Integration Profiles delivered shall provide an initial blueprint on how to implement intelligent coordination between independent building/company EMS and local EV charge management. According to the IES principles, these profiles shall henceforth be maintained in a continous improvement process to always reflect good practice in relation to the current state-of-the-art.

The simple integration made possible by IES profiles shall promote the intelligent coordination of load management systems and thus the effective use of renewable energy by customers.
