Nissan and Partners Completed a vehicle-to-grid pilot project
Transmission system operators TenneT, energy provider The Mobility House and carmaker Nissan have completed a vehicle-to-grid pilot project.
Nissan EVs are equipped with the CHAdeMO standard, which already enables a bidirectional energy exchange.
As part of the showcase project of the German Ministry (SINTEG), batteries from all-electric Nissan Leafs were used as storage devices for locally produced electricity to help stabilise the power grid during peak demand.
The conclusion: “The pilot project has shown that we can use electromobility in the future to control the weather-dependent renewable electricity production flexibly. That takes the strain off the electricity grid and helps us to limit expensive curtailment of wind turbines. The short-term flexibility that electric mobility provides us with can supplement the grid expansion and become an important building block for the energy transition,” said TenneT Managing Director Tim Meyerjürgens.
