3 d. ago Smart charging: Researcher says smart EV charging could reduce grid congestion

Grid congestion—an "overloaded" electricity grid—results in delays to building projects and sustainable initiatives. However, research by energy scientist Nico Brinkel has found that "smart charging" of electric vehicles presents a potential way to deal with the problem. "But then grid operators and car manufacturers should put their shoulders to the wheel." Brinkel will defend his dissertation at Utrecht University on 5 September 2025.

Engineers rely on computational tools to develop new energy storage technologies, which are critical for capitalizing on sustainable energy sources and powering electric vehicles and other devices. Researchers have now developed a new classical physics model that captures one of the most complex aspects of energy storage research—the dynamic nonequilibrium processes that throw chemical, mechanical and physical aspects of energy storage materials out of balance when they are charging or discharging energy.
