This is a result of our continued use of fossil fuels, causing the emission of greenhouse gasses into our atmosphere, thereby adding to global warming. An important part of these decarbonisation strategies is the production of electricity from renewable energy sources and reducing emissions of the transport sector. From a technical perspective, there are challenges that deal with the integration of the electricity from renewables, specifically sources such as wind and solar that have an intermittent nature. The solution is to provide flexibility. Flexibility in generation, demand and storage. This can be achieved by intelligently connecting the electricity sector to the emerging electric vehicle sector. Rather than creating grid capacity overload by uncontrolled charging and peak renewable power production, electric vehicles can be intelligently charged by adapting their energy need to the variable nature of the wind and solar resource. By making use of vehicle-to-grid technology, electric vehicles can supply power back at peak times to further decrease peaks in conventional power production.
