Utredning av koncept inom dubbelriktad laddning - Investigation of Bi-Directional Charging concepts

Abstract

Abstract This study aims to explore different concepts of Bi-Directional charging and assess its potential benefits across various scenarios. This research analyzes four distinct cases: Vehicle to Grid, Vessel to Grid, Vehicle to Home, and Bi-Directional chargers on an electric ferry. It examines user patterns, implementation details, economic factors, and environmental impacts associated with this technology. Although the initial investment in Bi-Directional charging is generally substantial, it proves to be profitable across a broad spectrum of applications and in enclosed systems, benefiting both individuals and businesses. Regarding battery degradation, findings suggest that the effects of employing Bi-Directional charging in the cases are mainly minimal. The majority of the scenarios demonstrates a more effective energy utilization through the batteries of electric vehicles.
