INNOVATIVE POWER MODULES FOR UNI-DIRECTIONAL AND BI-DIRECTIONAL RECHARGING OF ELECTRIC VEHICLES
To support the growth of the electric vehicle (EV) market, in line with the objectives of the European Green Deal, the number of fast-charging infrastructures needs to be increased 15-fold by 2030. Smart" fast-charging stations represent a crucial challenge for :
- Adapting the rate at which vehicles are charged, for example to avoid peak full stops in grid electricity demand (V1G),
- Providing electricity storage capacity for the electricity grid (Vehicle-to-Grid V2G).
The Uncaged project aims to develop a new generation of power units for 'intelligent' uni-directional and bi-directional fast charging (V1G and V2G), which can be integrated into charging stations or directly on-board vehicles.
