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.

Date: June 19th, 2025
Time: 10:30 – 12:00 CEST

New business models and economic opportunities for e-mobility stakeholders, with a focus on V2H (Vehicle-to-Home) integration. Coordinated and grid-aware EV routing for urban charging hotspots, enabled through the EVrich solution. Practical insights from the deployment of a DC microgrid and BTM (Behind-the-Meter) optimization in Prague, including EMS/BEMS integration.

This interactive session will explore real-world use cases from the FLOW project pilots:

  • UCD (Dublin) – The Economics of Vehicle to Home
  • RWTH (Achen University) EVrich – EV Routing in Urban Charging Hotspots
  • EATON (Prague) – Behind-The-Meter optimization and the DC microgrid

Whether you're a mobility expert, energy professional, policymaker, or just curious about the future of EV integration, this session will offer valuable insights from both a technical and user perspective.
