In the Living Lab Energy Campus (LLEC) – Vehicle-to-Grid (VxG) project, various electric vehicles and high-performance charging infrastructure with advanced charging and discharging concepts will be integrated into the LLEC's energy system. In such a system, electric vehicles can then be used, for example, as buffer storage for temporarily unused energy - e.g. when more PV-energy is generated than required. In low-energy phases, the battery pack of the vehicles can be discharged and contribute to the grid stability of the energy system. A dedicated charging infrastructure is being set up for the project on the Jülich Research Center campus, which will enable V2G functionalities - i.e. the automatic and intelligent charging and discharging of vehicle batteries. This supports the operation of the intelligent, decentralized district energy system in the living lab.
