MoBILE
Modular battery storage systems linked to intelligent charging infrastructure for electric vehicles
Project Objectives
The MoBILE project is testing the value proposition of a mobile and modular battery system including congestion management and other service provisions to the distribution grid. The project thus acts as a lighthouse for the grid-friendly deployment of e-mobility in the Federal State of Baden-Württemberg.
An expandable battery container stacked with lithium-ion battery cells is tested at the Hockenheim race track and event location. Amongst others, the storage system aims at reducing peak loads induced by high-performance charging stations (350kW) installed at the new Porsche Experience Center and in other locations around the race track.
EIFER’s Contribution
- Development of scenarios on future grid load, techno-economic and regulatory assessment of battery use cases and implementation of a real-time battery data monitoring system
- Project coordination
Key Outcomes
Demonstration of a successful integration of the battery storage system into the local distribution grid infrastructure, allowing to:
- manage network congestion and delay a grid extension in scenarios of increasing electromobility needs;
- partly replace fossil-driven backup solutions during events;
- test new business models (e.g. peak-load shaving or local green energy supply), depending on regulatory developments.
