• Mission:
• To provide support to Community policies and technology innovation related to both:
• Energy - to ensure sustainable, safe, secure and efficient energy production,

distribution and use and

• Transport - to foster sustainable and efficient mobility in Europe.

Interoperability

Interoperability

… focusing on electric vehicle interoperability with charging and smart grid equipment…

Letter of Intent:

2 Interoperability Centres

Technology harmonisation  Product innovation  Establishment global standards for electric mobility

• EV performance

evaluation

• Testing EV

charging station

• Road testing EV
• Grid simulations
• Grid architecture
• Communication

interfaces

IET Interoperability Centre E-Vehicle testing Component testing Smart grid

• EV performance under variation of driving and environmental

conditions  Input for advanced vehicle technologies

• Evaluation of range, efficiency

and energy consumption and conductive/inductive charging at different temperatures

• Direct

air pollutant and CO2 emissions (from hybrids), including modelling.

• Recharge and interoperability tests at different temperatures

(i.e. -20℃, -30℃, 20℃, and 40℃), with several EVSE and EVs/PHEVs

• Electromagnetic compatibility (including charging technologies)
• Indirect emissions (from all EVs), Well to Wheels Analysis in

cooperation with other groups and JRC Institutes.

• Harmonisation

Activity areas

 Extended for a 5-year period (starting 14 October 2013) Facilitate collaborations with US DOE labs and JRC w.r.t.:

• Hydrogen
• Batteries (NREL, Argonne, Sandia)
• PVs
• Smart grids
• Energy efficiency

Further International Activities

1997 "Agreement for Scientific and Technological Cooperation between the European Community and the Government of United States of America"

Further International Activities

In 2011 the executive committee of 1998 Agreement approved establishment of two working groups on:

• EV safety
• EV environmental issues

IG on EV Safety Development of GTR on unique safety risks posed by EVs and their components by end 2014 2015 to limit these risks:  In use and post-crash  Electrical shock and other hazards related to rechargeable energy storage systems (REESS)

• E-mobility and interoperability:

new activity at JRC

• Battery performance and

safety testing

• Serving the interests of the EU

citizens

• Embedded in international

context
