Electric vehicle charging for public spaces: feasibility studies

智能能源和交通枢纽(SETCH)项目汇集了Solisco、西米德兰兹郡综合管理局、EVBox、Mennekes(DrivEnergy)、Energi MINE和Keele University，在Park&Ride停车场等关键地点向公众提供电动汽车(EV)充电枢纽。该项目旨在通过创建一个生态系统而不是历史上实施的独立充电站来改变充电站的部署方式。我们坚信，这种结合的基础设施产品可以为新兴的电动汽车革命带来真正的不同。Setch太阳能电动汽车充电解决方案将采用多项创新技术、系统和方法：-太阳能光伏天棚和电池存储技术，为电动汽车充电提供全天候可再生能源。-通过智能充电和连接实现电网平衡服务的电网创新-创造新的收入来源，如汽车共享俱乐部安置和广告平台-提供奖励机制，以鼓励电动汽车的采用，并通过区块链技术促进清洁能源充电。这项技术的好处是广泛和深远的电动汽车用户。对于那些希望乘火车进入市中心的人来说，这些枢纽使他们能够在白天离开电动汽车充电，这反过来又减少了市中心的拥堵，促进了公共交通。对于没有路边停车的当地居民来说，电池存储使他们能够在夜间使用可再生能源为电动汽车充电。这反过来将减轻当地电网的压力，并增加可再生能源用于电动汽车充电的使用。独立的充电站通常是分布式的，这使得它们不太容易被公众看到。该项目将提供可见的电动汽车充电基础设施，这反过来将通过增加对公共充电可用性的信心来鼓励电动汽车的采用。这反过来将导致空气质量的改善，特别是在空气质量差导致健康问题的城市中心。该项目还将旨在通过为电动汽车用户提供负担得起的充电并创造其他收入来源来提高电动汽车充电的经济性，特别是那些也促进可持续低碳交通解决方案的收入来源，如汽车俱乐部。充电中心还将寻求纳入针对电动汽车和其他低碳交通产品的广告平台。

"The Smart Energy and Transportation Hub (SETCH) project brings together Solisco, the West Midlands Combined Authority, EVBox, Mennekes (Drivenergy), Energi Mine and Keele University to deliver Electric Vehicle (EV) charging hubs to the public at key locations such as Park & Ride carparks .This project aims to change the way charging points have been deployed by creating an eco-system rather than the standalone charging posts implemented historically. We strongly believe that this combined infrastructure offering can make a real difference for the emerging EV revolution. The SETCH solar EV charging solution will incorporate a number innovative technologies, systems and approaches:-Solar PV canopies and battery storage technologies that deliver renewable energy for EV charging at all times of day.-Grid innovation through smart charging and connections enabling grid balancing services-Creating new revenue streams such as car sharing club placement and advertising platforms-Offering reward mechanisms to encourage EV uptake and promote clean energy recharging through blockchain technologiesThe benefits of this technology are extensive and far reaching for EV users. For those who wish to commute into the city centre by train the hubs enable them to leave their EV to charge during the daylight hours which in turn reduces city centre congestion and promotes public transport. For local residents without off-street parking, the battery storage enables them to recharge their EVs using renewable energy during the night. This in turn will reduce strain on the local grid and increase the use of renewable energy for EV charging.Standalone charging stations are typically distributed which makes them less visible to the public. The project will deliver visible EV charging infrastructure which in turn will encourage uptake of EVs by increasing confidence in the availability of public charging. This in turn will lead to an improvement to air quality particularly in urban centres where poor air quality is causing health problems.The project will also aim to improve the economics of EV charging by offering EV users affordable charging and also enabling other revenue streams, particularly those which also promote sustainable low carbon transportation solutions such as car clubs. The charging hubs will also look to incorporate advertising platforms targeting EV and other low carbon transportation products."
