Bi-directional Integration of Electric Vehicles (BIDI-EL) for Electric Ferries
One of 10,000+ projects Taiyo tracks in Germany.
Source: MarineInsight
The BIDI-EL project aims to power electric ferries using parked electric vehicles as mobile energy storage units, reducing fossil fuel use and easing the electricity network burden. It involves a Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) system connecting electric vehicles to the energy grid to support the charging of the Frisia E-I passenger ferry in the German North Sea. The project includes solar panels and batter
