Abstract

The energy system is in a global transition towards a sustainable society. Resource efficiency and environmental concerns push towards change into the use of renewable energy resources and to optimize the energy usage. This transition has been motivated by climate and energy goals and a growth in energy needs. The United Nations adapted a resolution for a sustainable development with 16 goals until 2030 and the European Commission has launched the targets towards 2030 of at least 27% renewable energy in final energy consumption at European level.

New power grid developments include possibilities and challenges with generation, delivery, and usage of electricity as an integrated part of the energy system. This involves new forms of usage of electricity, for example, for transportation and demand response, and to the updating of existing electricity infrastructures. For electricity generation, the trend is toward new large-scale developments like offshore wind farms, as well as small-scale developments like rooftop solar energy. At the same time digitalization of society is creating new opportunities for control and automation as well as new business models and energy related services. Another key area for developments are the circular economics, which result in a new dimension for the life cycle cost assessment for all technical systems.

This presentation will focus on the introduction of the electrical vehicles (EVs). The EVs both contributes directly to the reduction of fossil fuel but also as a facilitator in the power grid. The presentation will share experience from the developments in Europe. “EV and PHEV sales in Europe continue to break records in 2020 with a 142% increase of deliveries to over 1,36 million registrations of plug-in vehicles, which is 11.4% of the total European car market, more than triple the share of 2019! “.
