Integrating Electric Vehicles into Germany's Energy Market: A Cost-Efficient Solution for Grid Stability and Renewable Integration by 2030

Electric vehicles (EVs) play a crucial role in integrating renewables into the energy market due to their storage potential and cost-efficiency. The volatility of renewable sources like wind and solar is a known issue, with predictions indicating that by 2030, Germany will need 19 terawatt-hours per year of daily flexibility—20% of its total energy consumption. With an anticipated 15 million EVs on German roads, providing significant grid-stabilizing capacity at low costs becomes feasible; these EV batteries present up to 750 gigawatt hours for stabilization. Field tests in Berlin demonstrated substantial financial benefits, showcasing over €1,500 generated annually per EV battery under realistic conditions. This ability extends beyond economic gains to enhancing grid stability during crises as evidenced by the response involving EV batteries during a substation failure in Croatia. The transition involves three steps: establishing smart charging infrastructure essential for management and optimization; managing charges intelligently to reduce peak load costs; and eventually generating revenue from managed charging processes. Current fleet management systems already help customers save around €250 annually per charge point through staggered recharging schedules that avoid high-cost peak loads. Additionally, private consumers benefit significantly from flexible tariffs designed for savings while maintaining reliability amid fluctuating electricity prices.

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
