Agreement Date:
Mar 4, 2025 - Mar 31, 2026
Description:
eCAMION envisions Grid 3.0:the Intergrid, an advanced power network of interconnected Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) controlled through a virtual network using LTE+/5G technology. This intelligent grid will enable automation, advanced network management, diagnosis, and proactive maintenance for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI), Grid 3.0 will function as a self-healing infrastructure, efficiently distributing energy within the power network to offset peak power demand.
To develop this innovative grid, eCAMION focuses on three key areas: ultra-efficient modular converters for high power density, optimized thermal management for electronics (Power Converter and Lithium-ion cells), and the utilization of 5G/LTE+ networks and AI for seamless control and decision-making. Grid 3.0 aims to address challenges hindering the mass adoption of EVs, such as inadequate charging infrastructure and grid resiliency. By transforming the EV charging landscape, eCAMION's Grid 3.0 will pave the way for a more sustainable and decarbonized future in transportation.
