About

Unit-e2 is a renewable energy company headquartered in Germany specializing in Energy Storage, Other.

Unit-e2 (unIT-e) is a large-scale German research project that investigates the intelligent integration of electric vehicles into power grids through bidirectional charging technologies. The project encompasses four clusters—Harmon-E, sun-E, Heav-E, and Cit-E-Life—each exploring different use cases including PV self-consumption optimization, grid services, dynamic pricing, and demand response. Over 30 partners from automotive, energy, IT, and research sectors conducted extensive field trials across multiple German regions (North Sea, Bavaria, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia) involving household and commercial charging scenarios. Key deliverables include technical standards for interoperability, life cycle assessments of charging strategies, regulatory frameworks for bidirectional charging, and system architectures for coordinating market and grid services. The project emphasizes practical implementation through real-world field tests and demonstrates cost and emission reduction potentials for controlled EV charging without significant user inconvenience.
