Product catalogs,According to German media reports, Germany electric team growing energy system transformation will be helpful for the future. Recently, the public and the German federal government conducted a test of cooperation, the electric car can act as a smart grid energy storage tool.

For electric vehicles as the idea of grid energy storage tools are not new - 2009, IBM with the support of the Danish government has conducted a similar test project. But this time the German government attaches great importance to energy storage in the electric test is unprecedented, the German government says it will invest from six to 7 million euros (about 50 million yuan or so) to support this project, and will be called for more partners to join them on a large scale.

The electric car will greatly make up for the defect of renewable energy power supply is not stable. On the one hand, the electric car can collect wind and solar power generate electricity; In the evening, on the other hand, electricity trough or cloudy days, the grid can be recharged in the electric energy stored in batteries. Of course, this requires electric vehicles and power grid interconnection, in the car to keep the operation of the state through the corresponding software support to achieve.

This project will be conducted in 2014, Volkswagen electric vehicle will be in Berlin, Germany to participate in the test. This, another purpose is to want to balance power supply and demand to make electric cars get paid, for the electric cost expensive batteries also played a very good adjustment. In addition to the electric drive problems, limited battery costs have been important hindrance in electric cars.

20 test electric activity in this area will be set up corresponding charging station, via smartphones can control the charging and discharging of the car. But this attempt is also facing many technical problems, for example, when the car after discharge, how to realize the temporary car boot, etc.
