November 15th, 2017 - The aim of Parker is to demonstrate modern electric vehicles’ ability to support and balance a power system based on renewable energy. To do so, Parker is testing a wide range of new and existing grid services to examine how electric vehicles can best contribute to balancing the power system and not least, whether electric vehicles can deliver such grid services across car brands – the first demonstrations have now been conducted.
For further information about the project, please contact Project Manager, Peter Bach Andersen, Center for Electric Power and Energy, DTU Electrical Engineering, mobile: +45 31 19 99 49, mail: pba@elektro.dtu.dk.

The Parker project builds on two previous projects, EDISON and Nikola, which have already laid the foundation for understanding the electric vehicle’s potential in balancing the Danish power system. Parker represents the next technology readiness level by allowing balancing services to be applied to a fleet of electric vehicles.
