Climate Design & Product Development’

In this paper, results are reported of a technology assessment of use of electrical vehicles for energy storage (of renewable sources), their integration in the built environment and attached required power and charging systems for the Netherlands. This was done as part of the DIEMIGO project on integration of electrical mobility in the built environment. Around the world several concepts for EV charging and EV/Building interfaces have been developed, or are under development. In general however integrated smart grid concepts, comfortable charging or user focused services and innovative charging are still lacking and mostly based on the principle of relatively simple “technical fixes ” and do not address to problems to be solved in case of large scale introduction of Electric Mobility. Moreover, integration in the built environment is poor and full of potential pitfalls, especially as for security of supply when implemented at large numbers. We present the main results of an integrated scenario development study for the introduction of electric vehicles at ‘the Grounds ’ location at Schiphol airport Amsterdam, in 2030. Firstly, relevant technological developments are summarized. Subsequently a transition is investigated from the current fossil fuel based transport system to also having vehicles that are powered by grid supplied electricity (G2V) and deliver electricity back t
