Applying grid-balancing services to a fleet of EVs to demonstrate how they can support the electricity grid.
The aim of the Parker project is to validate that series-produced electric vehicles as part of an operational vehicle fleet can support the power grid by becoming a vertically integrated resource, providing seamless support to the power grid both locally and system-wide.
Furthermore, Parker seeks to ensure that barriers regarding market, technology and users are dealt with to pave the way for further commercialization and not least to provide an evaluation of specific electric vehicles’ capability to meet the needs of the grid.
Ultimately, Parker will contribute to ensuring the role of electric vehicles as contributors to securing an economic and reliable power system based on a high share of renewable energy.
