Helios DC Energy Station
Current/OS Partners Involved:
Schneider Electric, World4Solar, Enteligent
Location
Raleigh, North Carolina USA
Setup
2024
Context
This system was implemented by Schneider Electric. This project demonstrated that DC Power was a faster, lower cost and simpler methodology to install Solar + Battery Energy Storage and EV Charging in under 3 months.
Implementation
· Off Grid Solar + Battery + EV Charging
· Load Curtailment when sources become limited
· Current/OS architecture for load management
Benefits
· Renewable Energy to charge EVs
· Fast deployment of EV Charging
· Ability to provide Emergency Power during grid outages
· Lowering Carbon Emissions while charging EVs
· Bridge solution when grid interconnects are long-lead
· Efficiency gains and higher energy density compared with an AC solution
