🚀 Kicking off the #Best4Grid project! 🌍⚡ We are excited to share updates from the kick-off meeting of the #Best4Grid project: Vehicle battery storage for green transport and grid stability in the Nordics. The project, which is part of the Nordic Grand Solutions Programme funded by Nordic Energy Research, runs from 01 May 2024 to 31 December 2026. The project supports the Nordic region’s goal of becoming carbon neutral and the most sustainable, integrated region in the world by 2030. The project focuses on addressing the critical challenge of decarbonizing the transport sector through electrification and increased use of renewable energy sources. While these efforts reduce emissions, they also create issues like energy imbalances, reduced capacity margins, and grid congestion. #V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid) technology offers a solution by enabling #electric #vehicle batteries to store surplus electricity and supply it back to the grid when needed, enhancing grid stability and resilience. However, widespread adoption of the #V2G technology faces significant technical, market, societal, and regulatory challenges. The project is driven by a strong consortium of academic and industry partners, including DTU - Technical University of Denmark, Denmark (coordinator), Uppsala University, Sweden, University of Vaasa, Finland, Scania Group, Sweden, Frederiksberg Forsyning A/S, Denmark, and Energinet, Denmark. The following researchers, from these esteemed organizations, are a part of the #Best4Grid project and participated in the kick-off meeting: Fredrik Haglind, Rohit Kothari, Simone Parisi, Arun K. Raj, Adriana Gliozzo Kerrn-Jespersen, MBA, Daniel Brandell, Jennifer Leijon, Wendi G., Mona Enell-Nilsson, Mazaher Karimi, Shah Rukh Shakeel, Sanna Tuomela, Hossein Naderian, Solomon Abebe Asfaw, Tohid Abedi, Shruti Srivastav, Christian Adelhardt, Kristian E. Beyer The kick-off meeting marked our first vital milestone, bringing together all partners to establish a shared sense of purpose. During the meeting, we: (i) Discussed collaboration within and across different work packages. (ii) Aligned on our deliverables, goals, and timelines. (iii) Shared insights and ideas for achieving project milestones. (iv) Enjoyed great food and had engaging discussions about the path forward for the project. 📌 For more information about the project and ongoing updates, visit our https://best4grid.dtu.dk/ and follow us on Best4Grid. Together, we are working towards a more sustainable and resilient energy future for the Nordic region. #Best4Grid #V2G #ElectricVehicles #GreenTransport #GridStability #Sustainability #SmartEnergy #SustainableSolutions #Nordics2030 #Collaboration #Teamwork Lise Nielson

Best4Grid aims to enable the widespread implementation of green transport and the vehicle-to-everything technology
Om os
The aim for the Nordic region is to become carbon neutral and the most sustainable and integrated region in the world by 2030. In order to achieve this, it is essential to decarbonize the transport sector, which is achieved by electrification and the increased use of renewable energy sources. However, the increased penetration of fluctuating renewable energy sources causes imbalance between supply and demand of energy, reduced capacity margins and congestion of electricity networks. In this context, the batteries of the electric vehicles (EVs) offer the possibility to store electricity at times when there is a surplus of electricity that subsequently can be used at times when there is a deficit of electricity, thereby balancing the electric grid. This is called V2X – vehicle-to-everything. However, there are technical, market, societal, and political challenges related to the realization of the V2X technology that so far have hindered the widespread implementation of the V2X technology. In order to address these challenges we will: (i) Analyze the opportunities and challenges to match the supply and demand of electricity by using V2X; (ii) Analyze the effects on efficiency and ageing of the batteries of employing V2X; (iii) Propose novel ideas to design and control the onboard energy management system for EVs employing V2X; (iv) Develop business models for implementation of V2X in the Nordic region; (v) Provide guidance on market regulations and structures supporting the implementation of V2X in the Nordic region; (vi) Provide a roadmap for the effective implementation of V2X, considering user behavior and technical and economic feasibility; (vii) Achieve cooperation among the relevant stakeholders supporting the implementation and widespread dissemination of the results. The project partners are the following: Technical University of Denmark Uppsala University University of Vaasa Scania Frederiksberg Forsyning Energinet

Vaasa strongly involved in supporting green transition in the Nordics! 🌿 The Nordic countries aim to be the world's most sustainable and integrated region by 2030. Vaasa is playing a crucial role in this mission through its involvement in two projects by the Nordic Grand Solutions program, which offers solutions to the significant energy challenges in the green transition. The University of Vaasa is part of the Best4Grid project. This multidisciplinary project investigates the use of vehicle battery storage for green traffic and stabilizing the electricity grid. The project is funded by Nordic Energy Research. The importance of Vaasa for the green transition is also underlined by the recent European Green Leaf 2026 award won by Vaasan kaupunki - Vasa stad - City of Vaasa! 🎉 This recognition by the European Commission highlights our ongoing efforts to address environmental challenges like climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. 🌍💚 ➡️ Read more: https://lnkd.in/daUi_yvs #univaasa #research #GreenTransition #sustainability #nordics #vaasa
