Introduction

DymoBat is an innovative research project that is helping to shape the future of the energy and mobility transition in Dresden. As a satellite project of the ‘National 5G Energy Hub’ (N5GEH), DymoBat is researching and testing how bidirectional charging of electric vehicles can stabilise the energy system and make it more efficient.

The focus is on the smart interconnection of electric vehicles, battery storage systems and the electricity grid. Using 5G technology and artificial intelligence, charging processes are optimised to make better use of renewable energy and distribute electricity flexibly between vehicles, households and businesses. In this way, electric mobility can not only enable emission-free travel but also actively contribute to grid stability and security of supply.

The aim

The DymoBat testbed provides a real-world environment for researching bidirectional charging strategies. It comprises several sites in Dresden where innovative energy management technologies are being tested. Research is being conducted here into how electric vehicles, acting as mobile energy storage units, can stabilise the grid and maximise self-consumption of renewable energy.

By networking these test environments, DymoBat creates a platform for optimising energy structures with minimal latency. The combination of 5G communication, artificial intelligence and decentralised energy sources makes it possible to balance out peak loads, increase security of supply and actively integrate businesses and citizens into the energy system of the future.

The project thus makes a decisive contribution to sustainable urban development and establishes Dresden as a model city for smart energy and mobility solutions.

Electric cars as mobile energy storage systems

With bidirectional charging, electric cars can not only recharge their batteries but also feed electricity back into the grid. This strengthens Dresden’s energy supply and makes sustainable mobility even more attractive.

Using electricity from your car to power your home

Your electric car can serve as a flexible energy source: charge it using solar power and use the stored energy later in your home – an innovative solution for greater independence.

More stable grids through smart control

DymoBat enables the intelligent interconnection of vehicles and the electricity grid. This helps to balance out peak loads and maintain a stable energy supply in Dresden.

Play an active part in the energy transition

Anyone with an electric car can become part of the energy system: through bidirectional charging, you can help to use renewable energy more efficiently and reduce CO₂ emissions.

Fleets as flexible energy storage systems

Companies with electric vehicles can integrate their fleets into the energy system and feed surplus electricity back into the grid – this saves costs and boosts sustainability.

Bidirectional charging for greater grid stability

Through the intelligent management of charging processes, businesses can reduce peak loads and actively contribute to the stability of local electricity grids.

New business models through innovative charging technology

Two-way charging opens up new opportunities for businesses – from dynamic electricity tariffs to participating in energy markets to gain financial benefits from stored energy.

Dresden as a model city for smarte Energy

With DymoBat, Dresden is becoming a pioneer in modern energy solutions. Businesses benefit from a high-performance infrastructure and new technologies for the mobility of the future.
