While meeting CO2 reduction goals and anticipating new energy loads from electric vehicles , utilities need to keep pace with more intermittent sources of power . The ability to jointly optimise for CO2 , cost and grid constraints can provide the best performance at a system level . Dynamic signals from the power grid combined with EV charging automation could be used to inform utilities ’ incentive programs , influence consumer behaviour , modulate peak demand as EV adoption grows , and reduce carbon .
Automation is key to increasing assembly safety , quality and traceability and delivering battery technologies cost-effectively , which is critical to the expansion of electric vehicles , believes Tanja Vainio , Managing Director of ABB Robotics Auto Tier 1 Business Line .
“ With production speed and flexibility essential to the successful scale-up of the EV battery industry , our cellular production architecture enables manufacturers to quickly validate a cell design and then roll out production cells globally with uniform quality , safety and productivity standards . Roll-outs can be scaled to demand with the flexibility to adjust capacity in real-time .”
