How can electric vehicles be an asset to the power system?
13 July 2017
Peter Bach Andersen, project manager for the Parker Project, explains the technology behind the grid integrated vehicle and why it is of more value to society than an ordinary electric vehicle.
There is a strong push both on an international and European level that we will go from fossil fuel cars to electric cars. This transition will lead to a higher demand on power and energy in the power system, which at this point is a challenge for the system.
Watch the short video in the top of this article, where Peter Bach Andersen explains how the grid integrated electric vehicle (GIV) will assist an economic power system based on renewable energy.

District heating – the heart of an integrated energy system
17 March 2026Decarbonising heating is one of the key challenges in the green transition. Heating buildings traditionally relies heavily on fossil fuels, contributing significantly to CO₂ emissions.
At the same time, increasing shares of renewable electricity from wind and solar create a need for flexible energy
