Electric Vehicle Fleet Bi-directional Charging (FLEXET)

The FLEXET project will trial Otaski Energy Solutions’ innovative bi-directional EV charger containing its multi-input multi-output (MIMO) DC-DC converter, integrated with Syselek’s telematics system and fleet energy management systems to enable fleet EV operators to access energy flexibility and the prosumer market. The DC converter is designed to be cost and energy-efficient while offering high adaptability to variable loads, increasing grid reliability, resilience and stability. With partner University of Leeds, FLEXET will demonstrate V2X technology through multiple use cases to show the benefits of V2X and energy flexibility to reduce carbon footprint and improve energy efficiency, whilst addressing the limitations of smart charging for EV fleet operators. The consortium will also work closely with municipalities and asset managers to deliver smart and bi-directional charging on lampposts and other charging assets.
