ACES project

ACES intended to holistically investigate technical and economic system benefits and impacts by large scale electric vehicles integration in Bornholm, augmented by real usage patterns, grid data and field testing for across continents replicability. A full scale penetration scenario of EVs in Bornholm was simulated in order to assess how new aggregating functionality can support both technically and economically the successful integration of electric vehicles into the energy system. It also initiated a small scale pilot project involving 20 publicly and privately owned Nissan vehicles and V2G chargers for proving that EVs can be used for effectively balance the system. Ultimately, it allowed DTU to tighten the collaboration with a strong industrial partner such as Nissan and further exploit the applied research field of EV integration.
