ERA-NET: Flexible smart grid energy system for quarters considering a market exchange platform, local storage and electro mobility

Awarded: NOK 0.61 mill.

The project's main goal is demonstration and evaluation of the effect of the Energy Smart Neighbourhoods (ESN) concept in neighbourhoods with local renewable energy sources (RES) and electric vehicles (EV) charging enabling a flexible exchange of locally produced energy. By leveraging local energy storages, the implementation of a smart local energy management system, and the establishment of a local energy market, we aim to achieve better utilisation of local renewable energy sources, lower burden on the public power grid (lower volume and power peaks for both demand and feed-in), as well as reduced power losses due to power transformation and transmission. In addition, the project deals with the opportunities and challenges posed by the charging of a growing number of EVs. The developed solutions will be tested and evaluated in a city neighbourhood in Oslo, Norway. The project has started planning of the pilot in Oslo and established synergy with ongoing efforts in promoting eMobility in Oslo, among others, the EU H2020 GreenCharge project. The project was terminated prematurely shortly after project start as one central partner had to leave the consortium due to lack of resources.

Prosjektet handler om muligheter og utfordringer relatert til utbygging av ladeinfrastruktur for økende antall elbiler. Hovedmålet er demonstrasjon og evaluering av effekten av Energismarte nabolag (ESN) konseptet i nabolag med lokale fornybare energikilder (RES) og elbil lading. Ved å utnytte lokale energilager og smart lokalt energistyringssystem, vil vi oppnå bedre utnyttelse av RES, redusert belastning på det offentlige strømnettet samt redusert strømtap på grunn av transformasjon og overføring. Prototypen "PySSMic simulator" utviklet av studenter i NTNU veiledet av SINTEF brukes for å studere oppførsel og effekter av ESN og kan benyttes i videre forskning. Koden er publisert som åpen kildekode som andre kan ta i bruk. To masterstudenter veiledet av SINTEF og NTNU har utviklet en applikasjon for planlegging av ladepunkter med lyktestolper som kan forenkle og effektivisere prosessen med utbygging av lyktestolpe-ladere og har nytteverdi for byplanleggere og ladestasjonsutbyggere.
