Increasing
demand for
electrification
Due to the growing numberof EVs
and increasing battery capacity,
greater amountsof energy are
required.
Grid congestion
management
Not all grids can deliver the power
needed for charging,especiallynot in
rural and LV areas or highly frequented
locations.
High demand
charges
As the power range of EVs increasesand
charging times strived to be reduced,the
load peaks for chargingstations are
becoming higher and higher, causing
higher grid fees.
Charging station operators
and their pain points
Grid limitations - No
reliable charging
capacity
To prevent a collapse at peak times, grid
operators are forced to intervene in
power distribution.
In these moments, fast chargingis not
guaranteed,only slow charging.

Our charging point operators seek to combine five primary use cases
Grid congestion
management
▪ Handlegrid
congestions by
adding a BESS
▪ Avoidor defer
investments in new
grid infrastructure,
which is associated
with time and cost-
intensive work and
permits.
Renewable
integration
▪ Interconnect PV i.e.
on the rooftop of
parking slot
▪ Self-consumption
optimization via
load-shifting
Intensive
gridusage
▪ Grid may be unable
to provide high
power requirements,
since DSO can
impose load
limitations
▪ With a BESS, output
power can be carried
out even on a LV grid
connection, enabling
to charge in minutes
• In many countries grid
operators apply
demandcharges on the
basisof theirhighest
peakload
• A BESS can cut charges
by supplying energy in
peak load hours and
flattening the load
profile when absorbing
energy in low demand

Many utility grids tend to reach overload when havingto cope with several e-vehicles
being charged at the same time or with superchargers that are demanding high
power delivery quickly. Now SYNERG-E, an EU-funded tech project, is helping e-vehicle
service stations overcome these challenges at several locations in Austria.

Enabling charging for Electric Buses
• Solarenergy integration
• Peak shaving
• Ramp rate control
The MunicipalUtility of Münster supllies power, gas, district heating and water to
more than 10 000 households. They also operate the public transport system that is
used by over 120 000 travelers a day. With the introduction of an emission free
busline, fast chargers with 350 kW charging power were installed at several bus
stops. At a bus stop at the end of a distribution cable, this caused voltage issues. To
stabilize the voltage, an energy storage system from Rolls-Royce was added.

ABO Wind now has 40 electric vehicles in its fleet. The charging infrastructure was
slowly reaching the limits of its capacity.
Therefore, the company opted for a sustainable and efficient solution: The in-house
PV system with 80 kW peak output and a 200 kWh battery storage.
In the first few months, the company was able to cover 98% of the demand for the EVs
with solar power from their own roofs and there is still a lot of room for improvement,
since most of the PV power is fed into the general power grid.
From the PV source electricity for around 400,000 km a year for EVs are generated..
