DREEMER - Shared, regional energy and mobility supply systems for efficient use of resourcesncy

Purpose and goal:

The purpose of the project is to analyse and explore possible local system solutions for shared, efficient power supply to different modes of transports in order to accelerate the transition to electric transports. Specific goals are to identify general options for shared local charging, describe and develop digital system architecture, systematically map energy- and power demand, analyse cost- and environmental effects, and to prepare for a larger system demonstration for testing and further knowledge building.

Expected results and effects:

DREEMER will contribute to increased conditions for local shared power supply options for electric buses and other transport modes. The effect of electrification on responsibilities and procurement in public utilities is examined. Energy and power demands for different geographies and scenarios, and measures to meet demand, are analysed.

New concepts for digital system architecture for shared charging is proposed. Shared charging infrastructure is made possible by, among other things, developing a prediction method for vehicles’ charging needs and a charging service concept. Approach and implementation:

The project is divided into 2 vertical (V) and 4 horizontal (H) work packages (WP) with an iterative approach and interaction between the WPs. In V1, the city’s challenges and possibilities with an increased electrification is investigated while V2 has a vehicle focus linked to energy demand prediction and shared charging. The horizontal WPs will jointly analyse future electricity and power demands (H1), system architecture and interfaces (H2), and business models, policy & regulatory framework, and ownership aspects (H3). Project leading and communication are conducted in H4.
