project eLISA-BW: intelligent control of electric charging infrastructure in Baden-Württemberg

Inhalt:
As the ramp-up of e-mobility progresses additional challenges arise. One is the challenge to provide enough charging infrastructure with sufficient power and energy. This is also a challenge for the power grid, which has to supply the charging infrastructure. Additional investments seem to be necessary to expand the power grid. One possibility to avoid additional costs is to introduce an intelligent load management, that prevents overloading of the power grid. In the project eLISA-BW an intelligent charging management will be implemented in a municipal car park in Karlsruhe. The intelligent charging management therefore uses different data to identify the available power from the power grid and also the need of the electric vehicles. The project focuses on the car fleet of the regional council which is the main user of the charging infrastructure. This paper wants to introduce this project and also show some results from the evaluation of the fleet data and also give an overview on the technical issues.
