EV CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE & GRID INTEGRATION 2010
Offering Practical Solutions For Establishing The Regulatory, Technical And Commercial Framework For Integrating Electric Vehicles Into A Commercially Viable EV Charging Infrastructure
In order to make Electric Vehicle Charging a commercially viable reality, there are several obstacles for the industry yet to overcome, with each stakeholder industry concerned with differing priorities.
To compete in the commercial vehicle market, electric vehicles must rival their petrol-based counterparts in both convenience and practicality. To achieve this, it is imperative that the charging infrastructure is internationally standardised. With leading vehicle manufacturers imminently rolling out these mass-market electric vehicles, an extra demand will be imposed on electricity networks around the world. This could have a range of impacts on the management of the grid including an increase in peak loads, the creation of artificial peaks and an overall impact on the quality of electricity supply.
With a sophisticated understanding of the issues facing Electricity Utilities, TSOs and vehicle OEMs working in the emerging commercial Electric Vehicle industry, it is now essential to develop an understanding of the market models, intermediary technologies, governmental regulations and incentives that will impact the development of a worldwide EV charging Infrastructure.
EV Charging Infrastructure & Grid Integration 2010 will be a global, stakeholders information experience exploring the latest technical research and market models for EV charging infrastructure. The leading European, Asian and North American electricity utilities will meet with global vehicle manufacturers, government regulators and standardisation bodies to discuss practical solutions on integrating electric vehicles into the grid and applying the charging infrastructure to support them.
This event focuses on the importance of collaboration between stakeholder industries and stakeholder nations in designing a successful and integrated future for the EV market. To support this development, the event is host to some of the most experienced voices in respective industries from a wide range of geographical focus. At present the summit boasts involvement from 10 European Countries plus Hong Kong, China and the USA to make it the most advanced and diverse EV Charging Infrastructure to date.
Speakers at this summit discussed:
- Creating an understanding of the market forecasts for electric
vehicle roll out and customer uptake from the electric vehicle
manufacturers
- Examining the innovative market models to ensure the development
of EV charging infrastructure as a commercially viable reality
- Explaining how the EU will financially support the advancement and growth of EV charging infrastructure
- Demystifying the latest developments in fast charging and the impact it will have on the grid
- Looking into the latest technical developments being made to make
Vehicle To Grid (V2G) commercially viable for levelling out
load-profiles
- Defining which charging regimes consumers are likely to adopt and their anticipated behaviours and attitudes
- Determining the optimal strategies and technologies for the communication and successful management of multiple charging posts
- Explaining what progress is being made to creating a common
standard for both communication protocols and plug and socket
connectors
- Evaluating how smart meters and other intermediary technologies can help with load levelling of electric vehicles
