Connecting public transport with electromobility - federal project InKoLa approved

06.02.2019 -  

The project InKola - "Infrastructure Coupling - Placement and Operation of Charging Stations from a Traffic and Energy Network View" focuses on the cross-infrastructure planning and operation of traffic and energy systems.

The project InKoLa will develop an application-oriented concept for the optimal placement, supply and operation of charging infrastructure from a grid and traffic point of view. The concept will consider renewable energy sources and will be used to select charging points in the city of Burg. Then, based on the determined locations charging points will be installed. The project will be conducted by the LENA and the Chair of Logistic Systems of the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg in collaboration with the city of Burg.

The LENA analyses the optimal connection of the charging infrastructure from an electrical power network point of view while the Chair of Logistic Systems will conduct the investigation from mobility activities of all actors point of view. Both strategies aim at the best possible locations for future users of the charging infrastructure. “The university concepts are used both by the city of Burg and the associated partner Stadtwerke Burg Energienetze GmbH for the subsequent realization of the charging infrastructure, so that the basis for a long-term dissemination of charging infrastructure in the city of Burg is laid," said Project Manager Jun. Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ines Hauer.

The State Administrative Office of Saxony-Anhalt supports the project within the scope of the funding guidelines for the introduction and use of intelligent traffic systems with a total funding amount of 375,000 euros (EFRE fund) over a period of two years.
