CyberGrid is member of the V2GAlliance Austria, a growing national network dedicated to advancing vehicle-to-grid and bidirectional charging in Austria. Through this initiative, we support thedevelopment of a smarter and more flexible energy system in which electric vehicles can actively contribute to grid stability and efficiency.
Why vehicle-to-grid matters for the energy transition?
Electrical vehicles are becoming far more than a means of transport. With bidirectional charging, they can also serve as a powerful energy storage system, enabling a two-way energy flow. During normal charging, electricity flows from the grid to the vehicle. In vehicle-to-grid (V2G) operations, electricity can also flow from the vehicle back to the grid, allowing EV batteries to support grid-stabilization services through bidirectional power flow.
V2G typically requires the following elements: a V2G-capable electric vehicle; a compatible bidirectional charger; and participation in a V2G program via an aggregator, EMS, and a virtual power plant.
The potential value of V2G emerges when electric vehicles are coordinated at scale. While a single EV can support a household or building, thousands of connected vehicles managed through intelligent control systems can function as a distributed energy resource. This is where energy flexibility becomes essential. EVs can charge when renewable electricity is abundant, when demand is lower, or when market prices are favourable; they can then discharge during periods of higher demand or when the grid needs support.
The V2G Alliance Austria describes the communication chain for a market-connected V2G application as:
Vehicle and charging station ↔ energy management system ↔ aggregator platform↔ electricity market or grid operator.
This structure allows groups of electric vehicles to participate through an aggregator in electricity markets and potentially provide flexibility services such as balancing, congestion management, or other forms of grid support.

Aggregation platforms for V2G operations
Aggregation platforms solve the problem by coordinating large numbers of vehicles and charging points as one flexible portfolio. CyberNoc flexibility-management platform combines aggregation, forecasting, automated control, portfolio optimization and cross-market flexibility trading. For electric-vehicle fleets, CyberNoc can adjust charging schedules according to changing electricity demand and supply. Charging can be shifted towards off-peak periods, when electricity is generally less expensive and grid demand is lower. This will reduce operating costs, prevent consumption peaks and decrease pressure on the electricity system. The platform can also aggregate smaller assets that would not individually meet market-entry thresholds, enabling them to participate collectively as a larger flexibility portfolio. This capability is especially important for V2G, where availability constantly changes as vehicles connect to and disconnect from charging infrastructure.
What is the V2G Alliance Austria?
Founded in 2025, the V2G Alliance Austria was established as an interdisciplinary network for organizations working on Vehicle-to-Grid and smart energy systems in Austria. Its purpose is to accelerate the integration of electric vehicles into the electricity system and create suitable conditions for practical V2G deployment. By connecting industry, research institutions, energy providers, technology companies, and other stakeholders, the alliance promotes collaboration, knowledge exchange, and joint project development. Policy advocacy and lobbying will also form part of its activities, helping to address regulatory barriers and advance the interests of V2G within Austria’s energ and mobility landscape. Through these efforts, the alliance aims to make bidirectional charging a practical and scalable component of Austria’s sustainable and flexible energy system.
