Introduction
The UIC Energy & CO2 Sector proposes to gather online for 2 hours on the
22nd of November 2024 10-12h CEST,
to study current work about linking electric infrastructure to charge EVs (and other electric equipment).
Background: smart grid & smart power management
The idea is to make the most out of an efficient (smart) power management between the public grid, the railway grid, and any energy storage system connected to it.
As direct benefits, it helps save the whole grid’s capacity, improving inherent efficiency (avoiding losses due to high load and wear from intense use), and maximising renewable energy allocation into the grid and storage to avoid the loss of production.
This is an extremely powerful improvement to get the best out of an electric system, while increasing useful energy storage capacity.
The
UIC Electric Vehicles (EV) charging & Rail power grid
session will be hosted to share and explore opportunities, best practice and standardisation for Electric Vehicles charging with the rail system (EVs: Buses, trucks, maintenance machinery, battery trains, etc..)
More information about the timeline will be disclosed closer in time.
