E-Cars as Mobile Power Storage: Demonstration in the Thayaland Climate and Energy Model Region
Published
The Thayaland Climate and Energy Model Region will show on 24 November how electric cars function as mobile power storage. The event, titled "Public Viewing", is aimed at the public, who want to learn more about the topic.
The idea behind it is simple: An electric car has a battery that can store a lot of electricity. This energy does not have to be used only for driving. Under certain conditions, it can also be fed back into the power grid or into a house. The car thus becomes a mobile storage unit that can help, for example, to balance out peaks in electricity demand. The model region wants to use projects like this to show how renewable energy and electromobility can work together.
In Austria, Climate and Energy Model Regions are municipalities or regions that voluntarily commit to reducing their energy consumption and using clean energy. They are supported by the Climate and Energy Fund. Thayaland in northern Lower Austria is one of these regions. With events like this one, it aims to reach citizens directly and show which technologies can already be used in everyday life today.
The demonstration on 24 November thus offers the opportunity to get a concrete picture of the technology. Interested people can see how the interplay of car, energy and grid works in practice. Further details on the exact schedule and the venue were not mentioned in the original report.
