Use Case
Smart Lamppost Electric Charging
[...] The Royal borough of Greenwich has upgraded its lampposts with LED lighting, electric vehicle (EV) charging points and smart parking sensors.
Solution
Bi-directional Electric Vehicle Charging
[...] Most cars are idly parked 90-95% of the time. With an accelerated shift to using electric vehicles (EVs), batteries of EVs offer enormous potential in terms of using their vast collective storage capacity [...] support the grid, which can be taxed with an intermittent renewable energy supply. Bidirectional electric vehicle charging (V2X) refers to EV chargers that allow not only for charging the battery of the [...] grid when needed. There are two primary receivers of power from an EV: the grid (V2G) and the electricity from a home or building (V2H). Bi-directional charging creates greater synergy between the clean
Use Case
Electrified Light Vehicles Integration into Transport and Electricity Networks
[...]
The ELVITEN project aimed at encouraging sustainable smart mobility through the market uptake of ELVs (Light Electric Vehicles) and sensitizing users to make them familiar with such vehicles. Three main challenges were dealt with:
Users’ low awareness about the EL-Vs performance and functionalities has been acknowledged as one reason hindering the EL-Vs market penetration [...] and therefore to achieve their integration in the transport and electricity networks. For example, little is known about how such vehicles are used and how much basic infrastructure is required in terms

Solution
Smart Microgrids
[...] Microgrids are smaller-scale versions of a local centralised electricity system - a.k.a. a macrogrid - and are equipped with control capabilities that allow them to operate in tandem with the local macrogrid [...] g. CHP, thermal storage or fuel cells). Harnessing energy that would otherwise be wasted (e.g. electricity transmission losses or waste heat from energy production), thanks to the proximity of where energy [...] system outages. Microgrids can better serve the community and enhance local economy by: Keeping electricity tariffs under control thanks to more efficient and cost-effective grid management, greater use

Use Case
Off-grid charging station for a sustainable micro-mobility
[...]
Students from the University are working interdisciplinarily on issues of sustainable mobility and energy supply using the Problem-Based Learning approach used with the charging station.
The station will initially be used for the electric scooters in the BObby Sharing project study of the University with a maximum power of 1,2 kWh.

Use Case
Solar Bus Station in Banja Luka
[...]
Installed solar panels that convert clean solar energy to electricity
Implemented 2 contactless mobile phone chargers
Implemented 4 USB sockets
Installed new bicycle parking spaces as part of the bus station
Implemented touch display with informations about bus arrival
Tourist map with interesting tourist destinations near the station is also shown on the display
Installed camera with remote access
Implemented digital billboard for advertising purposes
Use Case
An e-bike loan scheme supporting low-carbon shared mobility
[...] The Royal Borough of Greenwich is located approximately 10km to the east from the city centre. It is less well served by the cycling network and infrastructure. Due to this, private companies recently started to introduce regular and electric dockless bike sharing schemes to the area. However, there is not at present an integrated, city-wide e-bike sharing scheme in London. Electric bikes (including e-Cargo bikes) have been part of a wide range of low carbon mobility measures supporting the borough's Low Emission Neighbourhood programme.
Use Case
The Parker Project- V2G Services
[...]
The aim of the Parker project was to validate that series-produced electric vehicles as part of a company fleet can support the power grid with V2G services. Ultimately supporting the use of renewable energy while earning money through grid services.
Use Case
NRGCoin
[...]
The NRGcoin concept is motivated by the following issues in the energy sector:
Inadequate subsidies for renewables. Too little subsidies lead to slower integration of renewables, while too high support causes stress on the grid infrastructure.
Risk for policy change. Retroactive changes in support policy undermine the trust of investors and lead to slower adoption of renewables.
Rising electricity prices. Without proper balance of supply and demand, the grid infrastructure needs to be reinforced to handle peak production and consumption.

Use Case
Biedronka saves 82% on energy costs with Smart Lampposts
[...]
By installing Omniflow's Smart IoT Lamppole, Biedronka saved an impressive 82 % of electric energy when compared to normal LED lighting systems or 97% compared to old technology lighting.
The lighting units are managed remotely by an Internet of Things software, are powered by wind and solar energy, and have a built-in energy storage battery to further reduce any reliance on the grid. When batteries are depleted, consumption switches to take energy from the grid.
