Second Thematic Workshop: Smart Charging in Action: Tools & Lessons from the Field

In the workshop, we will explore how new business models and economic opportunities are driving the development of e-mobility, with a particular focus on Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) integration—enabling electric vehicles to interact with home energy systems as active components. We will also examine how the EVrich solution supports coordinated and grid-aware electric vehicle routing for urban charging hotspots, optimizing routes and charging points based on energy availability. Finally, practical insights will be shared from the deployment of a direct current (DC) microgrid in Prague, highlighting Behind-the-Meter (BTM) optimization and its integration with energy management systems (EMS/BEMS), offering a comprehensive view of real-world challenges and opportunities.
