The UN Climate Change Conference in Paris with its key topics of global warming and
deteriorating air quality will speed up the advance of electric mobility. CO2-neutral and
zero-emission mobility require electricity to be generated from regenerative sources of energy.
Power generation from wind and solar energy however is dependent on the weather and is
therefore not stable. The irregularities that occur in nature can result in unacceptable
voltage fluctuations in the power grid. For that reason the availability of highly flexible
loads and storage systems is becoming particularly important. Electric vehicles with their
grid-relevant properties as controllable power consumers and electricity storage systems could
help to stabilize future power grids.
