Have you ever imagined connecting Railways, Electric Vehicles Chargers, Solar Photovoltaic Cells, Storage Systems and the Electricity Grid? Well.... Turbo Power Systems (TPS) and Its partners did it!

摘要

The use of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) is increasing rapidly and, despite the positive impacts, the introduction of these new power flows on the grid is challenging under the current network configuration. To overcome this, the European Electricity Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) and Light-Railway networks are independently developing several programmes. Through these schemes, they are targeting electricity loss reductions, cost optimizations, grid stability control while upholding the demands of Electric Vehicles (EV), energy storage systems and prosumers. Given this background, a new consortium has emerged to support the combination of all those needs in a project called E-LOBSTER. The name stands for "Electric LOsses Balancing through integrated STorage and power Electronics towards increased synergy between Railways and electricity distribution networks".
