WP5. Modelling: Sustainable EV batteries in future net-zero energy systems. Leads: Marianne Zeyringer, Fred Espen Benth

WP5 aims to study the following topics:

1.       Changes in electricity demand, opportunities of demand side response & vehicle to grid: How do i) these new spatially and temporally explicit loads from EVs and battery production facilities, ii) the opportunities from demand side response and vehicle to grid change the operation and design of future renewable based energy systems? How much additional battery capacity can be substituted when optimally using EV flexibility?

2.       Circular economy: How does a future net-zero energy system look like that considers 1. socio-environmental costs related to batteries (and other low- carbon technologies) and 2. reused batteries? 

3.       Participatory modelling: How do visions of young people as well as wider stakeholders on points 1 and 2 effect our future energy system design? This will be done in collaboration with other WPs and industry partners via a large national survey and school workshops.
