SubsidieMeestersLarge-scale vehicle-to-grid system with integrated stationary storage: harnessing EV batteries and their fast response to deliver grid services, currently provided by highly polluting gas plants
Free2Move and FCA are developing a centralized bi-directional V2G system to manage 25 MW of ultra-fast reserve services for grid stability at FCA's logistics center in Turin.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Recently, Free2Move esolutions (former EPS EPS eMobility) and FCA Italy S.p.A (hereinafter referred to as FCA) have been awarded a contract by the Italian transmission grid operator Terna to manage 25 MW of ultra-fast reserve services. This is part of a bigger initiative by Terna aggregating up to 230 MW of nominal capacity of Fast Reserve Units (FRU) providing frequency and voltage services to ensure grid stability.
Project Overview
In this context, Free2Move will develop and build the first large-scale centralised bi-directional V2G system (DrossOne V2G), capable of guaranteeing a Maximum Dispatchable Power of 30.8 MW. The project configuration consists of:
- 280 double bi-directional recharging stations (2x50kW each)
- A stationary storage system (second-life batteries)
The stationary storage not only enables the optimisation of the power and energy capacity available, but it also allows for successful regulation of the microgrid DC bus.
Location and Functionality
The V2G plant will be implemented at FCA’s Drosso logistics centre (Mirafiori, Turin), where the plant will provide grid services while newly built full electric vehicles (FIAT 500e) are parked in the stockyard before being shipped to the dealers.
Target Market
The target market is to deliver ancillary and energy services, all within the compliant response times required by Terna. Free2Move's innovative centralised charging solution, coupled with the Energy Management System, optimises energy and power flows. This system is based on a DC microgrid architecture, which allows for:
- Easy connection and increased synergies between distributed energy resources
- Optimisation of energy consumption
- Provision of innovative Behind-the-Meter and Front-the-Meter (i.e., grid) services
Indeed, electric vehicle fleets using a physical connection are able to provide different services to the distribution and transmission grid with very fast response times (<200 ms).
Initial Stage
In a first stage, the V2G platform will deliver the new fast reserves service (ultra-fast frequency response) and a pool of real-time (RT) services.
