The hottest Germany starts smart car smart grid in

Germany launches smart car, smart electricity and intelligent transportation competition recently, the German Ministry of economy and Technology launched a new round of technology competition. The significance of information and communication technology for electric vehicles II: smart car, smart electricity and intelligent transportation. The technology competition focuses on information and communication technology as the basis for regulating electric vehicles and promoting the integration of electric vehicles with energy networks and transportation networks

to transform electric vehicles into intelligent vehicles, a new ICT architecture is needed. The German Ministry of economy and technology's research topic vehicle uses more software to demonstrate this. Information and communication technology is not only a prerequisite for realizing new functions of electric vehicles, such as better driving performance, more comfortable riding, safer driving, but also can reduce the manufacturing cost of electric vehicles

at the same time, information and communication technology plays an important role in realizing the integration of electric vehicles with future energy and transportation networks. Through intelligent control devices, electric vehicles can be used as mobile energy storage devices to store electricity when renewable energy power generation is sufficient, and realize the feedback of electricity during peak hours, playing the role of peak shaving and valley filling (smart electricity)

in addition, electric vehicles can become a part of intelligent transportation system (Intelligent Transportation). Through information and communication technology services, improve the links between traffic participants, optimize traffic conditions, and increase the driving range of electric vehicles

bludler, Minister of economy and technology of Germany, said: smart cars, smart electricity, smart transportation, these words are not only a vision for a better future, but also a great challenge. To achieve this goal, the key lies in the development of information and communication technology. Therefore, we should develop information and communication technology to promote the development of electric vehicles. Among them, special attention should be paid to the connection between electric vehicles, energy systems and transportation systems. So we launched this competition. Bruedel said that the technology competition will inject new impetus into Germany's leading position in the field of electric vehicles

the German government has required relevant companies and scientific research institutions to submit project proposals to the German Aerospace Center within the specified time limit

analysis of the necessity of technology competition

the research work of the German Ministry of economy and technology on electric vehicles shows that the electrification of the vehicle drive system will lead to profound changes in the value chain of the whole vehicle. This will not only affect the automobile and its parts industry, but also radiate to the energy industry, information technology industry and other fields. The second is the low energy density. At present, electric vehicles are largely involved in the current traffic environment as internal combustion engine vehicles, which are connected with traffic facilities and energy networks. However, it is gratifying that, on the one hand, future electric vehicles need to have new functions and characteristics, which requires the formation of a new automotive environment architecture based on information and communication technology. On the other hand, electric vehicles will be connected to the power supply system through corresponding interfaces, which will be used as mobile energy storage to actively manage energy applications. In addition, electric vehicles are expected to become part of the intelligent transportation system, and the communication between traffic participants has become closer. Information and communication technology plays a key role as a necessary element connecting these three stages of development

the German Ministry of economy and technology promotes research and development and demonstration projects by launching a technology competition on the significance of ICT for electric vehicles II, so as to accelerate the promotion and widely use of a unified ICT based electric vehicle development program. In the ICT strategy digital Germany 2015 launched in November 2010, the German government expressed specific suggestions. The significance of ICT for electric vehicles in the technology competition II will focus on the development of key elements in the digital Germany 2015 strategy. At the same time, the technology competition is also part of the national electric vehicle development plan issued by Germany in August 2009. The national electric vehicle development plan forms the framework of electric vehicle technology development and market development. In May, 2010, at the suggestion of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the national electric vehicle platform was established as an institutional platform for cross field cooperation

goal setting of technology competition

the significance of information and communication technology in technology competition for electric vehicles II has established the following strategic goals:

(1) establish Germany's technological and industrial status

(2) integrate cars into electricity

(3) form a new type of transportation based on the lack of information and communication technology in the original new material technology achievements

from the perspective of specific goals, the technology competition focuses on intelligent vehicles Intelligent electricity and intelligent transportation

1. Smart cars (the development of smart cars based on new information and communication technology faces three bottlenecks in Industrial Development)

information and communication technologies such as power, electronics and software are crucial to enhance the international competitiveness of the German automotive industry. Information and communication products in modern passenger cars account for% of the value chain of automobile manufacturing, which is the driving force of automobile reform. 90% of the innovation in vehicle engineering is completed through the information communication system. Today, the basic functions of vehicles such as ABS, electronic fuel injection, electrostatic precipitator, adaptive cruise control, parking assistant, emergency brake assist system are all completed by information and communication technology. As the nervous system of modern new vehicles, information and communication technology plays a role in the integration and optimization of vehicles
