The project consists of Wallbox Quasar bi-directional EV charging systems, most of which will be aggregated to utilise the V2G services and the remaining to be used for fast-charging EV solutions.
The project was developed by Engie to demonstrate the commercial application of bi-directional EV smart charging systems in support of the university’s business fleet electrification, microgrid operations, wholesale market participation, as well as wider market adoption. Engie received funding from the South Australian Government’s EV Smart Charging and V2G Trials Program as part of the development of the project.
In addition to serving the transportation needs of the university’s faculty and students, the project leverages Sunverge’s DER control, orchestration, and aggregation platform to operate in the AEMO market as a multi-service VPP that delivers a variety of grid services including wholesale price arbitrage, peak demand management, and optimisation of behind-the-meter generation supply and local demand.
