The introduction of any new technology such as electric cars requires extensive research and pilot projects. ESB ecars is involved in a number of trials and projects to analyse the charging infrastructure and collect data on ongoing consumer behaviour and trends.

ESB ecars trial

A two year electric car field trial is being conducted by ESB in conjunction with Trinity College Dublin. 15 Mitsubishi i-MiEVs and 2 Nissan LEAFs are being trialled by residential and high profile corporate participants such as Conor Faughnan, AA Ireland, and Alan Gallagher, Croke Park Stadium, throughout Ireland. Each electric car is fitted with a data logger and GPS tracking system. These data loggers give information on the energy consumption of the car. The GPS tracking system recognises the type of road they are on such as motorway or city centre roads.

All participants take part in customer feedback in the form of questionnaires. The results from the questionnaires give different opinions on expectations of before the trial and then results form after the trial. These results help to understand how people use the charging infrastructure and how an electric car becomes part of their everyday lives. At the end of each four month trial period the participants are also invited to a focus group where they discuss their experiences of using an electric vehicle.

Green eMotion

Green eMotion is an EU Research Project with a total budget of €42 million of which the European Commission is funding €24 million. ESB is a core member of the 43 member ‘Green eMotion’ consortium. The Irish sub-consortium consists of ESB ecars, Codema (The City of Dublin Energy Management Agency), Cork City Council, and Trinity College Dublin. Green eMotion is a Europe wide project that examines the recharging and IT/Communications infrastructure with the aim of making electric car ownership a preferred alternative to a conventional car. There is strong participation from car manufacturers such as Renault, Nissan, Citroen, Peugeot, BMW which indicates the sizeable involvement of major car manufactures.

One of the key objectives of the Green eMotion project is to develop European processes, standards and IT solutions that allow electric vehicle motorists easy and seamless access to charging infrastructure and related services throughout the European Union. Standardization is also a key factor for a fast and cost-efficient European roll-out of electric car infrastructure.

ESB ecars have a number of important responsibilities such as:

   Co-ordinating all field trials for electric fleets in all demonstration regions
   Study of installation practices and electrical connection of charging infrastructure
   Field testing of newer charging systems such as induction and more advanced fast charging Co-ordination and communication of all promotional events across Europe

The first Green eMotion conference, Fully Charge 2012, organised by ESB ecars is being held in Dublin on July 11th 2012. It is a satellite event of Europe’s largest science conference – ESOF 2012. To register, or for more information, please visit the Fully Charged.

ENEVATE

Europe Network of Electric Vehicles and Transferring Expertise (ENEVATE) is an EU project that aims to facilitate and support the accelerated introduction of electric mobility in North West Europe (NWE) which includes Ireland (all), UK (all), France (part of), Belgium (all), Luxembourg (all), Netherlands (part of), Germany (part of) & Switzerland (Non-EU partner) through structured transnational co-operation between public authorities and business representatives.

The objectives of ENEVATE are:

   To strengthen North West Europe's competitive edge with a boost to the innovation potential of this sector by combining/developing regional competences, technologies, knowledge, skills and supply chains,
   To help generate new investment and jobs within the region through technological development of low carbon transport,
   To develop sustainable energy supply infrastructure to create an operational environment and innovation framework for electric vehicles.

ESB is contributing to the project by:

   Working with the Dublin Institute of Technology Department of Transport Engineering on a pilot project to introduce electric vehicles into "last mile" freight deliveries in Dublin City.
   Sharing its experience in rolling out a nationwide and cross-border electric vehicle charge point infrastructure which will guide future electric car infrastructure programs in Ireland and across Europe,
   Running an ecar trial in which customer behaviour trends are being documented and electric vehicle technical performance is being tested


ESB Networks and The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) have formed an R&D alliance to design and demonstrate key innovations in Ireland’s Smart Grid strategy to meet Ireland’s future electricity needs. EPRI is an independent, US-based non-profit company performing R&D and demonstrations in the electricity sector for the public benefit.

One part of the project is assessing the impact of electric vehicles on the electricity network. The aim of the project is to assess the impact of electric vehicle charging on the electricity network. ESB ecars is conducting public trials, providing customers with electric vehicles, smart meters and other sensors to closely monitor the impact of charging on the network. Through this study, ESB ecars is aiming to improve network planning so that no electricity customers are impacted by electric vehicles in their area.

EPRI is a globally influential US electricity research centre whose work has a direct bearing on US energy policy. By working with EPRI, we can learn from experiences across the US while developing our own expertise. Through this project we are ensuring that ambitious government targets for EV penetration are enabled in the most technically, safely and economically sound manner.

The co-operation of members of the public has been key to the success of this project – without their enthusiasm and engagement, this work would not have been possible.

Future INternet Smart ENergY (FINSENY) is part of the Future Internet Public Private Partnership and co-funded by the European Commission. A key aspect of the project is to gather and assess information from a 'smart energy' perspective to develop more efficient next generation internet software.

One of the aims of the project is to identify the requirements of a smart grid ICT system to provide better management of all the charging infrastructure as a whole network. This ICT system consists of the software and protocols involved in a smart grid, which aims to provide electric car users with greater options and flexibility while using their electric vehicle. These options may include:

   international roaming for electric car owners
   identification and payment systems for electric vehicle charging
   entertainment and information systems within the vehicle

The project will contribute to the development of industry standards which will help ensure a widespread adoption of smart energy solutions in Europe and beyond.

ESB's role in the FINSENY project includes the ability to analyse the impact of electric mobility on the energy grid, focusing on the impact that electric mobility will have on the ICT infrastructure needed to support the Smart Grid. Solutions can be then developed to address shortfalls in ICT requirements in order to improve electric mobility in Europe. Visit FINSENY for more information.


MERGE


ESB ecars is participating in the EU Project MERGE (Mobile Energy Resources in Grids of Electricity). The project will examine the impact of electric cars on electricity grid infrastructure and on existing power generation and grid infrastructure planning. Visit MERGE for more information.
