In the push toward a cleaner, sustainable future, the partnership between Emulate and eMabler stands as a testament to the power of collaboration. With successful tests conducted on Direct Current (DC) chargers, this dynamic partnership aims to harness EV chargers' potential for frequency regulation services—transforming the way we approach energy management in the era of renewable energy.
Addressing Renewable Energy Challenges
The global energy transition is accelerating, with a rising reliance on renewable sources like solar and wind power. While this shift is critical, it also introduces challenges—namely, the intermittency of these energy sources. Emulate and eMabler have stepped up to address these challenges by exploring how EV chargers can help stabilize the grid, balancing supply and demand while maintaining customer satisfaction.
“Our deep expertise in control and virtual battery technology, combined with eMabler’s open platform for EV charging, is the perfect match. This cooperation will benefit consumers and the environment.” – Sonny Strömberg, COO of Emulate
Testing for Grid Stability
The partnership has yielded promising results through rigorous joint testing with leading energy companies like Skellefteå Kraft and OKQ8 chargers. These tests demonstrated the systems’ ability to meet stringent standards for Transmission System Operators’ (TSOs) ancillary service markets, ensuring rapid responsiveness and reliability in grid stabilization.
The cutting-edge technology developed through this collaboration promises to scale up the use of 150 kW DC chargers powered exclusively by renewable energy. These systems represent a significant step forward in utilizing EV chargers as dynamic tools for grid management.
Unlocking New Revenue Models
One of the partnership's most exciting aspects is the ability to merge energy management with business opportunities. By enabling EV chargers to participate in frequency regulation markets, owners of charging stations gain a new revenue stream while contributing to grid stability—a win-win for business and sustainability.
“By combining energy sales with income from the energy market, a new avenue of revenue opens up. This advancement is a significant asset in our ongoing efforts toward a sustainable future.” – Juha Stenberg, CEO of eMabler
A Vision for the Future of Energy
This collaboration represents a crucial milestone in addressing the intermittency of renewable energy. By pairing Emulate’s virtual battery technology with eMabler’s open platform, the partnership is shaping a resilient, balanced energy future that meets both economic and environmental goals.
Stay tuned as Emulate and eMabler continue to lead the way in energy innovation, ensuring the stability of our grids while advancing renewable energy adoption.
