AHEAD Project

⚡️A great opportunity to join our project partner, DTU Wind and Energy Systems and be part of the AHEAD team! Apply by 20 December: https://lnkd.in/dXu5CypA

🔹 Live from AEC 2024 ! 🔹 My colleague Malthe Thingvad and I are exited to present our latest results from the AHEAD Project and #e2FLEX research projects, where Spirii is contributing to innovative smart charging solutions aimed at supporting the electrical grid and exploring user preferences. 📣 A special highlight: Prince Albert II of Monaco spoke to the importance of this gathering, emphasizing the need for everyone to join in the transition to eMobility and support the EU market development. His message underscored the critical role of collaboration in driving a sustainable future. Looking forward to connecting with others here! #eMobility #SmartCharging #AEC #Monaco

🚙 The AHEAD Project will be kicking-off AEC 2024 in the Agora of the Grimaldi Forum at 9:00 a.m. sharp! 🎤 Represented by Spirii's Senior R&D Engineer, Lisa Calearo, learn how the project is developing an AI-informed simulation platform to identify optimal locations for #EV charging stations for #grid efficiency and #user needs.

It was a privilege to present the EU-cofunded AHEAD Project at the EDP R&D Session '24. Sharing our team's vision and progress with such an engaged and knowledgeable audience was truly inspiring. Thank you to EDP and Samuel Matias for hosting this event and to everyone who participated for their valuable insights and support. Together, we continue to push the boundaries of innovation and collaboration! Looking forward to the exciting journey AHEAD! #AHEAD CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency

Honoured to have the opportunity to talk about the AHEAD Project. How can we include flexibility when planning the distribution grid? See you on Sep. 25th at 5 pm CEST.

🔊 Join us this Wednesday, from 17:00-18:00 CET, for EDP's “Powering the mobility of tomorrow” webinar on #EV integration into distribution grids, featuring two speakers from the AHEAD Project consortium, coordinator Samuele Grillo (Politecnico di Milano) and project manager Christian T. (Easelink). The webinar will explore ⬇ 🌐 How #AI is revolutionizing the design & planning of electrical grids 📶 Innovative automated charging solutions 🚍 The future of heavy-duty passenger EVs Register here!: https://lnkd.in/dcWaWpyP #AI4EVIntegration #Innovation #SustainableMobility #ElectricVehicles #AI #EnergyTransition

We have started the AHEAD Project with 21 partners (+5 associated partners) in Milan. AHEAD is an EU Horizon Innovation Action with a very high expected TRL. In simpler words, we are going to make stuff happen - moving from theory to practice. To achieve the success you need a lot of partners with diverse expertise, thus the consortium is dominated by industrial partners that can create solutions and business models. Moreover, we are going to demonstrate a bunch of technologies for grid service flexibility and to speed up the charging infrastructure integration: -) brand-agnostic AC EVSE cluster control -) buttery buffered fast chargers -) wireless charging -) fast charging for heavy duty and busses -) charging for boats -) bidirectional charging System integration and planning are the two keywords for the project. Consequently, we need to investigate the entire spectrum from charging technology, renewable energy and grid integration, cybersecurity, consumer acceptance, electricity markets and regulations to transport modeling and optimal placement of the charging infrastructure. It will be a great pleasure to work with some of the forward-thinking players in the sector in addressing such timely challenges. In Denmark, as part of the Nordic landscape, we will hold two demo sites regarding the integration of AC smart chargers and battery-buffered fast chargers in a renewable energy-dominated power grid together with Kempower, Spirii, amina charging, Norsk elbilforening (Norwegian EV Association), Roskilde University, Energinet, Statnett SF, Lyse and Nissan Motor Corporation. This 4-year initiative is backed up by 11 million € funding from Horizon Europe CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency.

A new EU adventure is "ahead" of us ;) In the majestic setting of the Aula Magna of Politecnico di Milano, we kicked off the project AHEAD Project - AI-informed Holistic Electric Vehicles Integration Approaches for Distribution Grids led by Samuele Grillo. This 4-year initiative, backed up by 11 million € funding from Horizon Europe CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency, with the participation of 27 partners from 11 European countries aims to revolutionize placement and optimal usage of electric vehicle charging stations across both urban and rural landscapes. The DTU - Technical University of Denmark will host one of the demo sites near Risø campus where we will: -) demonstrate the feasibility and combined delivery of grid services with multi-brand chargers together with hybrid resources such as fast chargers with battery energy storage and renewables. -) measure customer acceptance of the charging services offered in the upgraded (workplace) and at the newly built charging station (rural-main road). -) demonstrate the robustness of the infrastructure against grid data manipulation and malfunction. -) assess the commercial spatial tool and update the AHEAD planning tools based on the lessons learned. A close collaboration with Spirii, Kempower, amina charging, Roskilde University, Norsk elbilforening (Norwegian EV Association), Energinet, Lyse and Nissan Motor Corporation will support research and demonstration activities foreseen in the Nordics. Kristian Sevdari, Mattia Secchi, Francesco Pastorelli, Tim Unterluggauer, Panagiotis Pediaditis form the core team that will be complemented by 5 new PhD students. DTU Wind and Energy Systems

Spirits are high after our official kick-off at Politecnico di Milano 👏 ⚡️Follow along as we deploy #AI to predict the most convenient locations for #EV and electric #HDV recharging pools that optimise grid resources. Thank you to all our partners for their enthusiasm and for our coordinator for hosting us! #HorizonEurope
