Important results from the project

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The purpose of the project was to identify important control signals for Smart control of charging stations for heavy charging and how these could be used if we included a battery in the solution around the charging station. Through the project and experiences of building a charging station, we have gained a very good knowledge of what possibilities given and what needs to be put in place over time. It has also become clear that there are many factors that are not set and that will affect future development.

Expected long term effects

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** In the job of developing a control model for the initial charging station, we have been able to gain direct knowledge in our application. Initially, spot price optimization has been in focus, but for future solutions there are already plans for connections to bookings and flex market connected to a battery warehouse. We expect to be able to capture measurement data for future work and possible AI/ML components. The cooperation with various market players has created an open and good environment for future cooperation

Approach and implementation

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Initially, we have carried out a study of existing material and supplemented this with a number of interviews with stakeholders such as vehicle manufacturers, haulage companies, drivers, electricity network companies, electricity trading companies and suppliers of HW/SW systems. In parallel, a charging station has been erected where we have been able to use knowledge and questions to create understanding and synergies. This has provided a very good hands-on experience and questions have been able to be translated into daily questions
