Germany-based chip supplier Infineon Technologies has become the first chipmaker to join the EEBus consortium.
EEBus, also based in Germany, was founded in 2012 to provide a standardized language to facilitate energy management in the Internet of Things (IoT). As the volatility of renewable energy production increasingly puts more and more pressure on the grid, the EEBus Alliance sees a need for greater consistency between the devices responsible for energy production and consumption. This is especially true when energy markets are fragmented, involving many protocols, data models and platforms. Therefore, EEBus aims to create a standardized communication interface that is cross-domain and manufacturer-independent. "We offer an open solution for all market participants rather than another proprietary, isolated solution," said Robert Bohm, managing director of the EEBus Initiative. EEBus has more than 70 members, including Bosch and Honda, and in 2019 Audi's e-tron becomes the first electric vehicle (EV) to use the EEBus standard for its charging system. Regarding its EEBus membership, Infineon's Chief Marketing Officer Andreas Urschitz said that the EEBus' special focus on energy management enables bi-directional end-user devices to be easily integrated into the smart grid. Infineon is focusing on investments in new energy electric vehicles. With climate change, oil shortages and air pollution, one solution to these problems is electric vehicles that are predicated on electricity coming from renewable sources. By 2030, it is expected that up to 50% of all vehicles will be powered by electric motors. By that time, countless self-driving cars will also be on the road. This means less traffic pollution and less fuel consumption. The problems encountered when parking will also become a thing of the past.
