Smart Charging project completion: Will EV charging be smart by 2030?
The aVEnir project, dedicated to smart charging of electric vehicles, concludes after three years of collaboration and innovation.
aVEnir project: develop smart charging
What is the aVEnir project?
On September 25th, 2019, 11 industrial and academic partners – Groupe Renault, Groupe PSA, Schneider Electric, Total EV Charge, Groupe EDF (subsidy IZIVIA), Dreev, GIREVE, Trialog, Electric 55 Charging, Université Grenoble Alpes, Aix Marseille Université – joined Enedis, the public energy distribution network to implement the aVEnir project. The project aims at fostering e-mobility on the French territory and prepare mass-scale development.
The plan is to create interactions between the public system of electricity distribution, charging stations and EV, and to analyse the influence of smart charging of EV on the ecosystem.
Smart charging management
Create interactions between EV charging stations and the energy network to test different charging management strategies in real conditions
Integration of EV to the grid
Test smart charging solutions to facilitate the integration of EV on the network (thanks to Vehicle to Grid techniques -V2G- and synchronisation between charging and solar production)
Flexibility management
Evaluate the opportunities brought by EV for the management of local flexibilities on the electrical grid

As the proportion of EVs on European streets increases, the flexibility reserve represented by the sum of their batteries when parked increases, becoming very relevant
Smart charging – 2022 Trend#4
Smart charging refers to the modulation of power during EV charging sessions. The power can be modulated upwards or downwards, to satisfy constraints or opportunities
