The future of e-mobility and the energy transition is taking an innovative turn, thanks to the “WINNER FINAL” research project, which officially began on 19 December 2023 with a kick-off meeting. Mittweida University of Applied Sciences is playing a key role in this project, which is supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action with two million euros.
“WINNER FINAL”, the third project in a series of sustainable energy and electric mobility initiatives, aims to utilise electric vehicles as dynamic energy storage systems in residential estates. Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, represented by the Institute for Energy Management under the leadership of Professor Bert Schusser, is playing a key role in the development of a modern, modular load management system. This technology is being developed specifically for the housing sector to meet the challenges of the mobility and energy transitions.
The innovative concept behind the project is to use electric vehicles not only as a means of transport, but also as mobile energy storage units. These vehicles are intended to help stabilise the electricity grid in the housing estate by balancing peak loads and serving as an emergency power supply. By precisely monitoring energy flows within residential estates, electric vehicles parked in underground car parks can be utilised as alternative energy sources when required. This approach promises to make residential areas more efficient and self-sufficient in terms of their electricity supply.
The Mayor of Chemnitz, Sven Schulze, welcomes his city’s selection as the location for this project: “It is gratifying that new, innovative technologies are being tested in Chemnitz.”
Running for three years, “WINNER FINAL” offers a visionary perspective on the integration of electric mobility into everyday energy management and underlines Mittweida University of Applied Sciences’ leading role in the research and development of sustainable technologies.
