The program for the Testival at October 30 and 31 is available! You are welcome to join the various presentations on Wednesday 30 and Thursday 31 October at the headquarters of ElaadNL in Arnhem.
During the first day about 15 experts from various areas of the e-mobility charging sector will be giving presentations and exchanging in panel discussions about the latest facts and trends around EV charging. Join the dialogue about EV Charging around the globe and especially in Europe. Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and High Power Charging of Commercial Vehicles (HPCCV) will be the hot topics for the discussions. Be a part of the latest developments and activities driving these discussions. Programming for the 1st CharIN Testival includes also bus and truck testing.
ElaadNL is constructing a comprehensive handbook to Smart Charging. For the second day of the Testival we will use it to guide our way through the future of charging electric vehicles. This second day will feature presentations, lectures and workshops related to the following four themes; the layers of implementing Smart Charging: Technology, Communication, Organisation and Legislation.
Technology – Making our hardware happy
What technology do we need and how do we implement it? How can we create a smart ecosystem for our electric vehicles that can send and receive data?
Communication – Let Tech do the Talking
Smart Charging requires smart appliances that can talk to each other, speaking the same language. What routes should the most optimal form of communication take and what do we need from protocols?
Organisation – Who charges who?
A lot of actors are involved in Smart Charging: EV-drivers, CSO, DSO, Back office, aggregators, OEM, municipalities etc. All these stakeholders can have different interests and targets. We need to set up a system in which smart combinations, rules and checks make sure that everyone can play their part.
Legislation – Smart rules for Flexible charging
In this session we will take a look at the current contracts, laws and regulations and what choices need to be made to implement Smart Charging for mass deployment. Where do market and municipals meet? Who needs flexibility and who can deliver it?
