Technical validation and market scalability of EV-grid flexibility services

EV integration continues to expand across Europe, but adoption is hindered by systemic challenges - thus limiting technical performance and market potential of EV as flexibility assets for the grid. The 4th FLOW Thematic Workshop will bring hands-on implementation experiences, technical analyses and regulatory perspectives from European testbeds to explore how services such as V2G, V2B and Behind-the-Meter optimisations can support smarter and more resilient energy systems. Through cross-site insights and expert discussion, the session will examine technical KPIs, scalability pathways and market opportunities for EV flexibility services across different European contexts.

Meet our testbed: Dublin

The Ireland testbed optimises the EV charging management system, monitors the energy consumption and impacts on power quality on the charging area in 2 shared parking premises at NUIM (Maynooth University) and UCD (University College Dublin). It also develops and validates an innovative parking management APP to avoid congestion and ensures a smooth EV charging experience.
