System architecture for bidirectional charging
Development of an interoperable ‘Unified and Overall System Architecture (UNOSAR)’
IE2S is developing a comprehensive system architecture for bidirectional charging as part of the ‘InterBDL’ research project funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE). The aim is to provide a coordinated and uniform reference architecture that serves as a practical blueprint for industry and paves the way for interoperable solutions.
This reference architecture – UNOSAR V3.0 – was developed on the basis of numerous previous projects, including the Wirkkette Laden project by CharIN e.V. and its members, and the unIT-e² project by numerous companies from the industrial and energy sectors.

The architectural image is available for public consultation as part of the InterBDL project.
We welcome feedback from industry, politics and end customers. Feedback received will be consolidated, evaluated and, where relevant, incorporated into the next version. In this way, the architecture will be continuously developed and designed to be practical.
