dtec emob End-to-end digitally controlled grid and charging infrastructure for electromobility

The main objective of the project is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the current state of electric mobility in the Hamburg metropolitan region and to present the impacts on the city’s distribution grid through 2050 in a meta-study. In addition, charging infrastructures are being tested with the help of various research and innovation labs, and the findings are being used to develop a smart AI-based grid control system that enables, for example, grid-friendly charging. This analysis considers land, air, and water transportation modes, as a growing number of electric vehicles is expected across all sectors. In this context, HSU is investigating the direction in which the various mobility sectors will develop and the impact of rising electricity consumption on the power grid.

A key challenge lies in the long-term outlook through the year 2050. This concerns both the ramp-up of electric mobility and the challenges associated with the digitalization of the grids.

hysolutions supports HSU in project management, in identifying suitable partners for establishing the research and innovation labs, and in targeted dialogue with industry stakeholders regarding future needs and opportunities in the areas of electric mobility, charging infrastructure, and grids. Practice partners include Stadtreinigung Hamburg, Stromnetz Hamburg, Replan City, the University of Hamburg, as well as companies and public authorities in the fields of logistics, car and ride sharing, charging infrastructure, grids, real estate, and urban planning. 

The project is funded under the NextGenerationEU program.
