Enel Gets Charged tip Over Electric Vehicles: Enel Distribuzione develops an e-mobility electric vehicle-charging infrastructure

摘要

The role of the distribution system operator has been relegated to a specific stage in the electricity value chain, namely the management of distribution network infrastructure and associated metering activities. This business can be regarded as a mature business, with standardized procedures and very little scope for innovation. Despite this conventional view, recently, the smart grid concept has been presenting distribution system operators (DSOs) with new challenges as they transform their distribution networks into information technology-enhanced integrated platforms very similar to telecommunication networks. Enel Distribuzione has been a trailblazer in the development of network technologies, having already implemented a number of important applications before the term smart grid was conceived.
