Projects

2020 – 2022

ADVENT project
Advanced Data-driven Virtual Electricity Network Tracking

Energy monitoring to help Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) monitor the health of the electricity network

Due to so many changes with the electricity network including changes to the way we generate and use electricity, and supporting the uptake of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging as numbers increase, CrowdCharge are working with project partners to provide DNOs need an effective way of monitoring the health of the electricity network without investing huge amounts of money installing monitoring equipment in our substations that we would all pay via our energy bills.

2020 – 2022

Electric Nation
Vehicle to Grid project

Home V2G charging to relieve stress on the electricity network at peak times as EV numbers increase

Western Power Distribution (WPD), in partnership with CrowdCharge, are launching the next phase of Electric Nation with a new Vehicle to Grid (V2G) trial across the Midlands, South West and South Wales.
The electric vehicle (EV) charging trial is opening up recruitment for domestic V2G users by offering the free installation of V2G home chargers worth £5,500 for the duration of the project, to eligible Nissan EV drivers who live in the three regions.

2020 – 2022

EV-elocity

Supporting increasing uptake of electric vehicles through helping consumers to monetise their investment using vehicle-to-grid (V2G) innovation

Project EV-elocity is exploring new technologies, encouraging behaviour change and developing business models that will enable the sharing of the value V2G can bring to the grid, local and regional businesses and the consumer.

The ecosystem of project partners is looking to demonstrate vehicle-to-grid in a range of real-world situations to gain technical, customer and commercial insights into this emerging technology. The project will demonstrate the value of this offering via different case studies with a view of scaling deployment across the country and internationally.

2020 – 2022

Milton Keynes Council
Domestic Energy Balancing EV charging project

Smart charging, vehicle to grid charging and home battery storage

Electric vehicle drivers in Milton Keynes can now apply to trial domestic smart chargers, vehicle to grid (V2G) chargers and home battery storage, with the option to keep the equipment at the end of the project.
The project is investigating ways to balance the peaks of electricity use associated with charging electric vehicles at home. CrowdCharge is delivering the trial on behalf of Milton Keynes Council, with Flexitricity as the energy demand response partner.

2020 – 2022

Skyline

Working to share early visibility of new electric vehicles (EVs) and new charge point connections

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) has launched Project Skyline in collaboration with the Energy Innovation Centre and UK Power Networks, through which it will work with third parties – ElectraLink and CrowdCharge – to share early visibility of new electric vehicles (EVs) and new charge point connections to enable timely and effective network management and a seamless experience for EV drivers.
