In order to establish a solid business case and strategy, market players need to evaluate their role and business potential in the electromobility field. Siemens supports in deriving a pinpoint strategy for a sustainable and efficient electromobility charging infrastructure. To support strategy formulation, Siemens utilizes a workshop approach in which we provide local EV adoption grid impact forecasts, assess the potential EV charging economics for industry participants, review market role and business model alternatives and economics, and develop policy actions to drive success. As a result, the customer receives a scalable implementation plan including specifications for hardware, software and operational requirements, as well as the required core and sub-processes for EV charging, such as accounting or reporting.

Distribution system operators are now facing questions of when, where, and to what degree their physical and commercial systems will need to change to accommodate increasing EV charging.

With an emobility stress test utilities can assess the impact of the increasing load demand on high, medium and low-voltage grids based on detailed forecasts of the expected load development for a predefined time frame. Based on the results, the planning criteria and asset management strategy can be adapted for more targeted investments into the grid.

In order to install the required charging infrastructure, the specific load demand at potential charging sites needs to be evaluated as it determines the optimal design. Siemens supports companies and charging infrastructure operators in developing individual concepts for charging hubs based on analyses of (e)mobility user profiles and the expected load patterns over time. The results also include an analysis of the electricity supply and grid connection, as well as regulatory and taxation aspects, software requirements, process definition and operating concept.

Electromobility offers all players involved exciting opportunities. During our eMobility Expert Workshops, we moderate, discuss and elaborate with key experts, regulatory authorities, and other stakeholders a common vision and mutual understanding of their eMobility targets. We elaborate on the topics of mobility and transportation, IT and security, power grid and energy market integration, as well as integration of distributed energy concepts. In our Orientation Workshops, we share insights about the current status and expected development of eMobility as well as latest technologies and trends. We also offer customized training adapted to your individual requirements. Discover what is in electromobility for you and actively engage in shaping the future! 

To enable power utilities, municipalities and system operators to master the challenges that arise from the increasing integration of eMobility charging infrastructure, we offer customized workshops to share best practices in eMobility grid planning. With hands-on modelling and simulation of exemplary or customer-specific low and medium voltage networks, participants learn how to leverage grid simulation software to ramp-up the development of electromobility in their network, to model new loads and multiple layers, to define suitable points of application in the grid, and to interpret the results for updating their planning principles.
