a.s.r. EV Charging Park

EV Park, Lighting - Outdoor

Current/OS Partners Involved:

DC Systems

Location

Utrecht, Netherlands

Setup

2024

Context

A self-regulating DC microgrid to charge a large fleet of vehicles in the most sustainable way, enabling to supply power back to supply the building’s electricity need.

Implementation

10,000 square meters

96 solar panels producing 48kW

250 smart bi-directional EV chargers for Vehicle-to-Grid capability

Battery storage

No inverters, no rectifiers

Benefits

Savings and sustainability

Vehicles’ batteries can supply the electricity demands of the building, stabilizing the grid when required

Optimize renewable energy use: 15% savings by feeding PV DC directly to cars

Reduced grid dependency, can also fully operate autonomously

Easy to expand, simpler to control

Scalable

Autonomous operation on droop: no Energy Management System intervention

Quote

“The challenge of a.s.r. for this project was to implement this installation in a sustainable way, and that is why we chose DC. The project stands as a powerful testament to what can be achieved when innovation meets sustainability. “
