The Horizon 2020 EU project INVADE is concerned with efficient use of storage for the benefit of electricity customers, owners of Electric Vehicles and owners and operators of private and public Park & Charge facilities. INVADE aims to demonstrate how stationary batteries and “batteries on wheels” can be used to optimize energy and power related operations for the benefit of grid owners, private households and buildings, as well as the market.

The INVADE Black Sea 2018 workshop gives insight in results from INVADE and several other European research and innovation projects. In addition, the workshop aims at developing opportunities for research and business cooperation between Norway and Eastern European countries supported by the EEA Grants program.
