The transformation of service stations into multi-energy centres, coupled with the integration of renewable power, energy storage capacity, and advanced energy management systems, represents a significant step towards sustainable electrical mobility.

For this purpose, the deployment of smart energy management systems (EMS) will revolutionise how energy is managed at service stations. These systems use advanced algorithms and real-time data to optimise energy consumption, predict energy demand, and manage the distribution of energy from various sources. EMS can also integrate with grid systems to sell excess energy back to the grid, creating an additional revenue stream.

Moeve Innovation Center is building a Smart Mobility Innovation Lab intended for applied research projects to test innovative EV technologies, model energy grids (renewable energy, energy storage, charging points, vehicle-to-grid technologies, energy losses, digital tools, etc.), and test new EV chargers.

The successful candidate will explore electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and electric vehicle charging reliability at Moeve Innovation Center. Preferred candidates will have knowledge of, and experience with, electric vehicle technologies, such as high voltage batteries, power electronics, inverters, and chargers; as well as knowledge of grid and EVSE and back-office networks necessary for payment and integrated EV-Grid operation. Research laboratory working knowledge, design of experiments, and experience with vehicle testing are required.
