Delta, a global leader in power and thermal management solutions, today announced it is collaborating with Brandenburgische Technische Universität on an on-site proof-of-concept designed to test the feasibility of enabling a smart grid capable of balancing the power demand/supply between grid operators and electric vehicle (EV) owners. Delta’s EV charging infrastructure solutions, which include six 150kW Ultra Fast EV chargers and three vehicle-to-grid (V2G) bi-directional EV chargers, provide the foundation technology required for a viable end-to-end power management system that tightly couples the EV's storage to a realistic simulation of the main electricity grid on the distribution network operator (DNO) level.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Harald Schwarz from Brandenburgische Technische Universität stated, "We appointed Delta Electronics as an industry partner for this collaboration because of its diverse range of hardware and software EV charging solutions plus its ability to manage a project of this nature to a very high standard. Our choice has been more than justified."

Vincent Lin, senior director of e-Mobility & Smart Energy Solutions business development, Delta EMEA, added, "Delta is proud to have been selected for this project by Brandenburgische Technische Universität. It is an honour to help lead such an important and innovative development and one which will help move the world to a more productive use of renewable power supplies."

Brandenburgische Technische Universität and Delta pave the way for a future Smart Grid for eMobility
