Denmark‘s Edison project, an abbreviation for ‘Electric vehicles in a Distributed and Integrated market using Sustainable energy and Open Networks’ was a partially state funded research project on the island of Bornholm in Eastern Denmark. The consortium of IBM, Siemens the hardware and software developer EURISCO, Denmark’s largest energy company Ørsted (formerly DONG Energy), the regional energy company Østkraft, the Technical University of Denmark and the Danish Energy Association, explored how to balance the unpredictable electricity loads generated by Denmark’s many wind farms, currently generating approximately 20 percent of the country’s total electricity production, by using electric vehicles (EV) and their accumulators. The aim of the project is to develop infrastructure that enables EVs to intelligently communicate with the grid to determine when charging, and ultimately discharging, can take place.[32] At least one rebuild V2G capable Toyota Scion will be used in the project.[33] The project is key in Denmark’s ambitions to expand its wind-power generation to 50% by 2020.[34] According to a source of British newspaper The Guardian ‘It’s never been tried at this scale’ previously.[35] The project concluded in 2013.[36]
