Is my vehicle fleet suitable for electrification and will users accept it? Is my charging infrastructure sufficient to charge all vehicles and can the network cope with an expansion? The project partners in the eLISA-BW project consortium had to ask themselves the same questions. Answers can be found within the project.

eLISA-BW
The project "Intelligently connecting and managing electric charging infrastructure in Baden-Württemberg" (eLISA-BW) was funded by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry for the Environment, Climate Protection and the Energy Sector as part of the Intelligent Network Connection of Car Parks and Underground Car Parks (INPUT) funding call. During the course of the project, an intelligent charging management system was implemented in the Waldhornstraße car park in Karlsruhe. The Karlsruhe Regional Council uses this car park for its fleet vehicles. As this car park is becoming increasingly electrified, an expansion of the electric charging infrastructure is inevitable. However, the grid connection capacity is too low to enable simultaneous charging of all vehicles. By intelligently linking the booking system, the identification interface at the charging station and the continuous measurement of the grid connection power, it was possible to develop a charging control system that charges the fleet vehicles in line with demand and the grid.
The eLISA-BW project is funded by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of the Environment, Climate Protection and the Energy Sector as part of the INPUT funding call (intelligent grid connection of car parks and underground car parks). The project will run from July 2019 to September 2021 and involves the German Aerospace Centre - Institute of Vehicle Concepts (DLR), the Centre for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW), Parkraumgesellschaft Baden-Württemberg (PBW), the Karlsruhe Regional Council (RPK), the Karlsruhe Property and Construction Office (VuB), AVAT and Siemens.
