BRIDES
Boosting Resilience through Innovative Decentralised Energy Storage for sustainable mobility
Scheda del progetto
The project aims to:
- Develop a portable electric vehicle charging device with high capacity and power, implemented with Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) capabilities;
- Equip the device with second-life batteries to extend the life and introduce smart charging algorithms, thereby optimizing energy efficiency and reducing peak loads on the power grid;
- Test and validate the integrated system and define the business model to be adopted to roll out the solution and define sales procedures.

Improve power system resilience by orchestrating the integration of demand flexibility sources within power grids characterized by intermittent and unpredictable sources such as renewables.
The innovative dynamic charging system for electric vehicles is designed with bi-directional V2G/V2X capabilities and 5G connectivity; therefore, it can function as a versatile energy reservoir and offer balancing services to power grids. The use of second-life batteries in mobile charging devices is a significant innovation, extending the useful life of batteries by promoting the reuse of increasingly important resources nowadays.
The EV charging system implemented with V2G/V2X capabilities and integrated with a smart charging system enables increased energy flexibility at the local (distribution and Energy Communities) and systemic (transmission) levels.
