Upon electrifying its fleet, Bielefeld-based construction company, Goldbeck, realized the EV charging stations would exceed their grid capacity. XENON overcame this issue with an energy management system that enables smart charging.
Goldbeck builds future-oriented commercial properties in Europe, taking care of the entire process from design to construction and operational services. In Germany, Goldbeck is the market leader for parking garages, which are often equipped with PV systems. At a site in Hirschberg, the company realized that the load of additional EV charging stations would exceed the grid connection point's capacity of 345 kW.
To avoid expensive grid extensions and compromising the charging capacity of the electric vehicles, Goldbeck opted for gridX's XENON platform. This gave them control over their energy flows and allowed them to adjust maximum peak loads according to changing requirements. High-resolution energy monitoring data allowed Goldbeck to analyze load curves and adjust charging behavior to make the loads more constant. This enabled them to lower grid tariffs without affecting user comfort.
Because many of Goldbeck's parking garages also feature PV systems, the ability to couple control and integrate energy assets is an important factor. This allows them to optimize smart charging during peak hours of sunlight and, in doing so, ensure that their garages offer the highest level of sustainability and user convenience.
Energieversorgung Mittelrhein (evm), together with greenblocks and gridX, has achieved a major milestone in intelligent energy management. Within just two months from project start, the home energy management system (HEMS) liya was successfully deployed in the first households in Koblenz. This marks the starting point for scaling the technology to even more evm customers.
The solution is based on gridX’s hybrid energy management system XENON, while evm and greenblocks jointly handle the go-to-market setup, technical commissioning, tailored sales training and ongoing operational support. evm, supported by its in-house installer division evm Service GmbH, installs the systems directly on-site and provides personal customer support. Even before the official market launch, customers were introduced to the new solution in dedicated informational events, and the sales team was thoroughly trained. A custom-built savings calculator enables consultants to showcase the substantial financial benefits already during the first conversation.
The Luxembourg-based energy provider and grid operator wanted to offer its customers the benefits of a digital energy supply. XENON acts as the backbone to their new digital solutions.
