Preparation project for system demonstrator of grid-connected electric vehicles at Campus Skellefteå

Purpose and goal:

The purpose of the study was to investigate the conditions for a larger system demonstrator of V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) at Campus Skellefteå. A simpler model of an electric vehicle fleet was created to study the fleet´s impact on the local electricity system and mobility system, as well as to map relevant actors in the electrification of the mobility sector. This was to understand existing market models, including economic incentives that could make it more profitable to own a V2X vehicle.

Expected results and effects:

The preliminary study showed that behavioral studies and adaptation of V2X solutions in an arctic climate are lacking. A full-scale system demonstrator at Skellefteå Campus could make a significant contribution to international research. Tools, collaboration platforms, and the project group have been developed for a successful system demonstrator.

A project application for a system demonstrator will be submitted as a result of the preliminary study’s findings. Approach and implementation:

The preliminary study was divided into four Work Packages, each building on the previous one. The V2G potential at Campus Skellefteå has been evaluated based on various parameters. A good choice for the preliminary study as there is detailed information on the grid configuration available here.

The methodology developed can be applied to analyze different areas. The existing load has been modeled based on measured time series obtained from another Vinnova project and thus reflects actual consumption.
