ICBC

The transition to renewable energy systems requires the integration of flexible loads into the electricity grid, with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology playing a key role. The "Interoperable Communication for Bidirectional Charging" (ICBC) project is developing approaches for an interoperable V2G ecosystem to overcome existing challenges such as standards and protocols. The aim is a flexible ICT infrastructure that connects new and existing systems.

The interdisciplinary approach takes technical, social and ecological aspects into account in order to create a robust and sustainable V2G ecosystem. The project is orientated towards market requirements and stakeholder needs in order to reduce_{CO2 emissions} and promote renewable energies. With iterative design processes and stakeholder involvement, ICBC strengthens European technology sovereignty and promotes open ICT solutions in the V2G sector.

The research strategy combines theory-driven modelling and design science research to test and optimise interoperability. In this way, the project contributes to the integration of renewable energies and a sustainable energy supply of the future.
