Enhancing grid stability and efficiency with Elywhere's innovative DC chargers

Reshaping power grids is essential in our pursuit of a sustainable energy future.

A comical scene of workers frantically flipping switches on household appliances, a symphony of ovens, kettles, and vacuums turning on and off, to the conductor's loud commands. It is a light-hearted way to introduce the complex world of energy management and captures the essence of past manual and simplistic efforts.

Fast forward to today, and the power ecosystem has evolved into a sophisticated and complex network. We now can harness the power of automation, digital solutions, and state-of-the-art energy storage, where power assets perform a near-real-time dance to the grid's dynamic tune.

The charge toward electrification

As electrification, particularly within the transportation sector, becomes a central pillar in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the pressure on our electrical infrastructure intensifies. This infrastructure, originally not designed for the high and variable demands of widespread electrification, faces a considerable challenge with the rapid rise of electric transportation.

Elywhere stands at the forefront of this transformative era. We deliver more than just DC chargers augmented by Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS); we provide comprehensive solutions that bolster both the microgrid within each charging station and the macrogrid at large. An Elywhere high-capacity charging station is not just a power asset; it's a strategic tool that mitigates the gap between power supply and demand while minimizing grid strain. Beyond aiding the power ecosystem, we are crucial in addressing a societal need: establishing a resilient, high-capacity EV charging infrastructure.

Peak shaving and cost savings

Our charging stations are pivotal power assets that excel in peak shaving. Through intelligent energy management, Elywhere systems trim down power usage spikes, significantly reducing capacity charges and operational expenses. This smart energy strategy flattens energy consumption patterns, yielding cost efficiencies and predictability for Charge Point Operators.

Harnessing rate fluctuations

Elywhere systems are adept at energy arbitrage, capitalizing on daily electricity rate variations. They utilize battery power when rates are high and recharge when costs dip, promoting operational efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Our predictive analytics fine-tune charging schedules, ensuring the BESS is charged when prices are favorable. This is invaluable during periods of limited grid capacity or when only conditional power supply contracts are available, allowing the battery system to compensate for limited grid power or the loss of a secondary power source.

Maximizing solar investments with PV self-consumption

Coupling BESS with solar installations significantly boosts self-consumption of solar energy. This strategic power management approach stores excess solar energy for later use, particularly during peak demand times. This not only lessens grid reliance but also amplifies solar investment returns. During peak pricing and high EV charging periods, this approach aligns with solar radiation patterns, covering typical charging times in the morning and afternoon.

Participation in balance services and flexibility markets

Elywhere's technology unlocks the value hidden in energy flexibility. It not only stabilizes the wider power grid through frequency balance services but also enhances local power distribution with its capability in local flexibility markets.

The BESS systems are pivotal in frequency balance services, providing essential ancillary services like Fast Frequency Response (FFR), Frequency Containment Reserves (FCR), and automatic Frequency Restoration Reserves (aFRR). These services are crucial for maintaining the grid's frequency within the required operating range, ensuring the overall stability and reliability of the power system.

Simultaneously, the same systems can contribute to local flexibility markets by leveraging their energy storage capabilities. This function is critical for smoothing out energy peaks at a community level and absorbing excess power—particularly from renewable sources—thereby preventing overproduction and alleviating local voltage fluctuations.

This capitalizes on the system's inherent flexibility and bolsters grid stability.

Elywhere is actively contributing to a more resilient grid, equipping businesses and energy providers with the tools to navigate the changing energy landscape smartly and sustainably. Our charging systems are meticulously engineered to address the demands of an electrified world, supporting the grid's robustness while enabling clients to realize their environmental ambitions.

As we step into this new epoch of the energy revolution, Elywhere's charging systems exemplify the transformative impact of innovative technology on our energy challenges. From peak shaving to energy arbitrage and enhancing solar utilization to participating in flexibility markets, our systems lie at the core of a smarter, more stable, and more efficient grid infrastructure geared up for today's and tomorrow's electrified world.
