Round Table RT5c/4a "INTEGRATION OF PLUG-IN-VEHICLES IN DISTRIBUTION NETWORKS. CONTRIBUTIONS FROM 2 MAJOR EU FP7 PROJECTS: MERGE AND G4V (GRID FOR VEHICLES)" Convener :Nikos Hatziargyriou, MERGE Coordinator Deputy CEO of Public Power Corporation, National Technical University of Athens, Greece
Round Table Scope Electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles (EV, PHEV) have the potential to contribute significantly to solving environmental and economic challenges of future mobility. A mass introduction of EV and PHEV will imply both, challenges and opportunities not only for the automotive industry but to a large extent also to the energy sector. A standardised infrastructure solution is needed to facilitate the mass roll out of EV and favour customer acceptance. Two EU projects (MERGE and G4V) investigate the impact of a large-scale introduction of EVs, PHEVs on the EU electricity infrastructure while making use of the inherent opportunities that smart grid technologies offer.
