Setup
Context
As part of the development of the sustainable energy system of this new agro/food logistics park, a unique public lighting system based on Direct Current has being implemented. This project features the largest DC-powered public lighting network in Europe, ensuring greater energy efficiency, reduced resource consumption, and improved system reliability. It lays the foundation for future-proof urban energy infrastructure.
Implementation
• 350/700V DC microgrid for efficient energy management
• Public Light LED Drivers for direct DC-powered lighting
• Current Router technology for enhanced system protection
• Current/OS for monitoring and control of the DC lighting network
Benefits
• More efficient energy use: Direct DC power supply reduces conversion losses
• 340 Public light poles running completely on DC
• 125 solar panels
• Lower resource consumption: Eliminates the need for excessive cabling and transformers
• Increased reliability: Smart monitoring and control ensure optimal performance and resilience
• Scalable urban energy solution: Lays the groundwork for integrating more DC-powered infrastructure in the future
