💡 "This is the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era," declared UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Stiell at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Dubai last December. For the first time, the global community has committed to transitioning away from fossil energy to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, sending a clear signal to investors. ⚡With a record deployment of 473 gigawatts of renewable energy sources in 2023, we are on the right path, but we need to accelerate—especially in expanding critical infrastructure such as grids, storage systems, and e-mobility. Sustainable solutions across all grid levels and sectors are essential for a 24/7 renewable energy supply. How can the energy industry achieve climate neutrality as quickly as possible? What challenges do utilities face, and how can they overcome them? 🎥 Watch the video recording of our opening session for insights and inspiration from industry leaders! Let's work together towards a fossil fuel-free world!

🌟 The smarter E AWARD Winner 2024 – Category: E-Mobility 🌟 Apollo Power has won The smarter E AWARD 2024 in the Category "E-Mobility" for their groundbreaking solution Charging Heavy-Duty Aftermarket Vehicles with Flexible Solar Modules by SolarPaint! Apollo Power’s innovative flexible solar modules offer an eco-friendly and efficient way to operate heavy commercial vehicles. These durable and lightweight modules utilize solar energy to reduce CO2 emissions, fuel and energy costs, and protect vehicle batteries from discharging. This aligns with the goals for zero-emission vehicles. The system integrates seamlessly by connecting directly to vehicle batteries, supplying various electrical consumers, and boasting an average payback period of just one year. Field tests have demonstrated its efficiency and profitability, achieving fuel savings of up to 10%. Customers, including public transport companies, logistics companies, and fleet operators, benefit from the robust SolarPaint modules, which withstand extreme weather and road conditions while maintaining high efficiency over time. The integrated Battery Guard functionality also offers effective protection against battery discharge, especially when vehicles are not in use, enhancing reliability and operational readiness. Congratulations to Apollo Power for this outstanding achievement! 🎉 https://lnkd.in/dtmdF8VV #TheSmarterEAward #EMobility #Solar Jörg Brücher Nadav Levy

Während Elektrofahrzeuge bei PKWs immer populärer werden, hinkt der Schwerlastverkehr in Sachen Elektrifizierung noch hinterher. Dabei gibt es gerade hier großes Potenzial: Trucks sind in der EU für etwa ein Viertel der Straßenverkehrsemissionen verantwortlich.

The durable and lightweight modules use solar energy to reduce CO2 emissions, fuel and energy costs and protect vehicle batteries from discharging. This will help to achieve the targets for zero-emission vehicles. With this simple system integration, in which the solar solution is connected directly to the vehicle batteries and supplies various electrical consumers, the average payback period is just one year. The efficiency and profitability of the solar solution have been proven in field tests, where it achieved fuel savings of up to 10 %. Customers include public transport companies, logistics companies and fleet operators. https://bit.ly/3RLQUaM 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗚 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗯𝘆 EcoG When it comes to the expansion of a high-performance fast charging infrastructure, EcoG’s central power units can help minimize costs. To tap into this cost savings potential, which, according to EcoG, is up to 25 percent, the power must be distributed across the charging points (dispensers) according to the demand. This makes providing full performance for each charging point unnecessary, reducing the maximum installed charging capacity needed. That’s where the EcoG Connect powerblock, a unit comprising power modules and a switching matrix, comes in. The switching matrix enables the charging power to be allocated between charging points as required. The system is hardware independent and is already compatible with dispensers from many different hardware manufacturers. https://bit.ly/3XJ3b3v 𝗠𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘁𝘁 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗯𝘆 Designwerk Group Designwerk has developed a megawatt battery charging system, which is housed in a container and comprises two charging points and a battery storage unit with an energy content of 2,000 kWh and a discharge rating of 1.4 to 2.1 MW. The liquid-cooled charging points come with either an MCS or an CCS plug. The charging capacity when using a CCS is limited to 200 to 350 kW. Both NMC and LFP batteries can be used for the battery storage system. 2nd life batteries may also be an option. The megawatt battery charging system is primarily suitable for trucks, buses and other vehicles that use the MCS standard. The integrated battery storage system allows a significant reduction of the charging station’s grid connection power to just 88 to 400 kW, depending on the design. https://bit.ly/3xsjszp #Power2Drive
