Role in epowermove
The University of Cyprus (UCY) leads Work Package 3 (WP3), which focuses on developing a multi-level synergetic framework for intelligent co-management of the distribution grid and bi-directional electric vehicle (EV) charging. This framework aims to relieve grid congestion, minimize electricity charging costs, and maximize the utilization of renewable energy.
Additionally, UCY is leading the pilot demonstration in Nicosia, where 16 new EV chargers will be installed on the UCY campus. These chargers will be managed to meet user needs while adhering to the constraints of the local distribution grid.
