Wind Renewable Energy

Denmark has outlined a new plan for its wind-car smart grid. They are trying to move quickly towards developing an actual zero-carbon electric car using their wind renewable energy turbines. IBM is helping the Danish government achieve this goal by creating a smart grid technology which is needed to adapt to the new infrastructure.

The Danish government is eager to begin this network at the earliest as the batteries in the electric cars will allow storage capacity for the wind renewable energy turbines which already play an important role in the country’s energy demands.

IBM has been developing this technology over the past few years. The smart grid technology provides an intelligent grid system that manages and synchronizes the charging process of the electric car with the available wind renewable energy. This allows the charging process to take place when maximum power is available. The grid system also works the other way round. If the wind power drops, it allows the wind turbine to draw spare power from the car batteries back on to the grid.

Phase one of the project will take place on the Danish island of Bornholm. Here the consortium will develop a test grid and try to merge the wind renewable energy into the grid supply in the electric car.

Danish Minister of Climate and Energy Connie Hedegaard said that, “Electric vehicles are one of the technologies we can use to incorporate wind renewable energy into transportation. That is why we are making it possible for electric cars to enter the market in order to replace conventional fuel. Projects like Edison show how it's possible to create sustainable solutions in real life."
