Elec­tri­fi­ca­ti­on of fleets and depots

This work packa­ge focu­ses on the inte­gra­ti­on and inter­ac­tion of various ener­gy sup­p­ly tech­no­lo­gies for the elec­tri­fi­ca­ti­on of pas­sen­ger cars, public trans­port, com­mer­cial vehic­les, and logi­stics fleets. A cen­tral ele­ment is the mul­ti­func­tion­al hub, whe­re dif­fe­rent mobi­li­ty modes, sto­rage, and char­ging infra­struc­tures are com­bi­ned. The goal is to deve­lop load pro­files opti­mi­zed both for usa­ge and the grid, iden­ti­fy syn­er­gies bet­ween tech­no­lo­gies, and test them in prac­ti­ce. The rese­arch includes both sta­tic and dyna­mic grid ana­ly­ses to eva­lua­te fle­xi­bi­li­ty poten­ti­als for grid ser­vices such as balan­cing power or redis­patch. In addi­ti­on to tech­ni­cal aspects, eco­no­mic, logi­sti­cal, and regu­la­to­ry fac­tors are inte­gra­ted. Tech­no­lo­gy com­pa­ri­sons are con­duc­ted, and the use of mul­ti­ple hydro­gen fuel cell trucks is tes­ted and sci­en­ti­fi­cal­ly eva­lua­ted. This results in a stu­dy ana­ly­zing the poten­ti­al of alter­na­ti­ve dri­ves in logi­stics. A key com­po­nent is also the fur­ther deve­lo­p­ment of the H2Powerplant, which can pro­du­ce, store, and pro­vi­de green hydro­gen local­ly and in a grid-fri­end­ly man­ner. The insights gai­ned feed into recom­men­da­ti­ons for fleet ope­ra­tors, cities, grid ope­ra­tors, and ener­gy providers.
