InterBDL

In its coalition agreement, the German government formulated the goal of making bidirectional charging possible. Increasing shares of renewable energy from partially volatile energy sources require local storage facilities - these can be provided by a swarm of e-vehicles in the future. However, this will only work if batteries and the electricity grid are connected in an end-to-end supply chain, data flows are organised quickly and efficiently and joint business models can be implemented along the supply chain and across all stakeholders involved. The InterBDL project links stakeholders along this chain and combines the charging infrastructure and automotive industry, ICT service providers, energy suppliers, grid operators, energy meteorology and e-vehicle users to integrate the storage potential of bidirectional e-vehicles into the transformation of the energy system. InterBDL handles the entire supply chain - focussing on interoperability and open standards at the respective interfaces.
