noLIMIT
Grid-oriented bidirectional charging with smart modules optimised for industrial manufacturing technology
The increasing electrification of the transport sector is posing new challenges for stable grid operation. For example, according to the Leopoldina National Academy of Sciences, charging behaviour in the low-voltage grid is one of three typical causes of future grid bottlenecks. However, electric vehicles can also be part of the solution: the electric vehicles planned for roll-out by 2030 offer very high storage potential, which can only be harnessed through bidirectional charging. To this end, the FTZ is developing innovative power electronics for bidirectional high-power charging points as part of the “noLIMIT” project. As a key element of sector coupling, the charging points are intended to contribute to efficient grid operation and, through innovative concepts, enable highly automated manufacturing in Germany.
