Electromobility
The future is electromobility
Description
Around the world, people want to be mobile and stay mobile. With a growing global population and increasing urbanization, the trend is in fact moving toward a need for even greater mobility in private transportation. Yet in contrast to climbing population figures, fossil resources are becoming increasingly scarce. What’s more, global climate changes are compelling us to rethink how these resources are used. It is imperative that we find new possibilities for maintaining our mobility.
Electromobility is a crucially important approach to this topic. Here the challenges are among others in the area of energy storage.
Smart grids are the keys to tomorrow's mobility
A basic prerequisite for the mobility of the future are smart power grids that can provide and manage comprehensive information about supply and demand data at all times. This would allow all relevant grid components to optimally work together.
The electrical car: energy consumer and energy storage device
To ensure optimal effectiveness, the car's electrical drive, battery, power electronics, and communications with the energy grid must be geared toward its dual role as a mobile energy storage device and means of conveyance. That’s why Siemens is working on new concepts to manage and coordinate internal vehicle functions and the energy flows in the grid. Concepts for electric vehicles on the market will not become feasible until the grid and the car operate hand in hand.
