Hyundai group, said that the hyundai and kia models of the future will be equipped with power generation of solar panels, in order to improve fuel efficiency and scope, reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Modern cars, according to the solar panels will be part of the roof of the vehicle or after 2019 in the hood. Said the parent company is developing three different types of solar car charging system, including solar panels, controller and battery.
on March 21, the Renault group and the Netherlands partners We Drive Solar energy suppliers and Portugal Empresa DE Electricidade da Madeira Utrecht in the Netherlands and Portugal respectively SAN island launched a massive reversible charging pilot program.
the test through reversible installed inside the vehicle charger, using alternating current (ac) technology, the realization of charging electric cars to the grid. The project aims to weigh the feasibility of large-scale deployment of reversible charging technology and evaluate potential gains. Because the technology just simple modification to the existing charging terminals so won't produce expensive cost.
Renault group electric group, senior vice President of logistics, 'says & other; Renault group through this initiative, fully fulfilled herself as a motor travel leader and energy transformation practitioners. Vehicle charging to power grid is the key to the Renault group to establish intelligent power ecological system. We choose the vehicle technology to optimize charging station, it is cost, so as to promote large-scale application. ”
in order to smooth implementation pilot program, during 2019, Renault will be launched in Europe a composed of 15 ZOE team, achieve the vehicle charging to power grid, and with a partner on future reversible charging standard and related business on basis of research work.
in the future, Renault group will also in France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and Denmark 7 countries and various areas such as partners in multiple projects ( Power ecosystem or travel services) Charging for reversible pilot, thought that the development of the related business in the future lay the foundation.
vehicle charging, also known as reversible charging to power grid, which can be according to the needs of users and power grid power supply to adjust electric vehicle battery charging and discharging. When the grid power supply surplus, especially in the peak of renewable energy production, electric charge will be high. But in the peak season, electric cars also can supply power to the grid.
in this way, the electric car can be used as a temporary energy storage unit, the main impetus of the development of renewable energy. Grid optimization not only by the local renewable energy supply, reduce the infrastructure costs. At the same time, the user can also enjoy more environmental protection, economic power consumption, and can be obtain economic returns for the power supply.
in particular, the reversible charging technology can highlight electric vehicle charging solution of technical and economic advantages; Through specific projects also can prove reversible charging provide services to create value for local and national grid, such as encourage the use of solar and wind energy, inspection of power grid frequency and voltage and decrease the cost of infrastructure.
from the global, the pilot project can establish and constantly improve mobile energy storage program management framework; Can also establish a unified standard to meet the basic requirements of industrial scale.
