The Optimise Prime project has today released deliverable D1 - High Level Design and Specification of the Three Trials.
This report, the first of seven that will be published throughout the project, provides a comprehensive overview of the trials methodology and the design of the three project trials - Home, Depot and Mixed Charging. The deliverable also gives a high-level technical specification of the solutions that will be implemented to support the trials and reports on the progress the Optimise Prime team has made in preparing for trial execution.
The document should prove valuable to any distribution network operator considering how to plan for the future growth of commercial electric vehicles as well as to vehicle fleets planning a transition to ultra-low carbon vehicles.
The next Optimise Prime deliverable will provide an insight into the learnings from the project’s infrastructure and technology build.
Part-funded by Ofgem’s Network Innovation Competition, Optimise Prime is an industry-led electric vehicle innovation and demonstration project that brings together partners from leading technology, energy, transport and financing organisations, including Hitachi Vantara, UK Power Networks, Centrica, Royal Mail, Uber, Scottish & Southern Electricity Networks, Hitachi Europe and Hitachi Capital.
