Location
Grenoble, France
Setup
2024
Context
LVDC microgrid for electric vehicle charging and parking lighting, enabling Schneider Electric Electropole site to create a large EVCS capacity without further powering delay from the main grid.
Implementation
50kW Hybrid AC/DC
66 kWp PV generation
320 kWh Battery storage
Monitoring SCADA
Benefits
Efficiency gains with reduced main grid feed-in needs
Feed-in power directly comes from solar panels, saving cost and relying on renewable energy
100% Resilient system
Current/OS enables self-adjusting consumption based on available power.
Quote
“In a world shifting from a centralized to a decentralized energy distribution, topics as DER integration, efficiency, prosumer and mitigation of gridcongestion are becoming critical to reach our 2050 sustainability goals. Direct Current can play an important role helping the transition to Net Zero specially in applications where sources and loads are DC native.”
