Challenge: Overcoming power limits to offer ultra-fast charging

In a context where electric vehicle (EV) users demand charging power above 100 kW to reduce waiting times, the Miralbueno Service Station faced a significant challenge::

⚡Grid connection limited to 100 kW
🏢 Station consumption: 40 kW
🔌 Only 20 kW available per hose for EV charging

To install a 180 kW charging point, it was necessary to implement a solution that could::

• Overcome the contracted power restrictions.
• Effectively integrate and manage both photovoltaic panels (PV) and charging points.
• Optimize energy management to ensure continuous and efficient service.

Scalable solution in 3 phases

Desde BeePlanet se abordaron estos desafíos con una solución modular que combina almacenamiento de energía, gestión inteligente con BHive® y expansión progresiva de la capacidad de recarga.

BeePlanet addressed these challenges with a modular solution combining energy storage, intelligent management with BHive®, and progressive expansion of charging capacity.

📌 PHASE 1: 2022 // The initial solution consisted of installing a storage system with a capacity of 100 kW and 126 kWh, along with the BHive® energy manager, which centralized the management of photovoltaic (PV) generation, the 180 kW charger, and the station's consumption.

📌 PHASE 2: 2023 // With increased charging demand, the storage system was expanded by adding another 100 kW and 230 kWh system, allowing 180 kW charging without restrictions for users, greater optimization of available power, and a significant reduction in waiting times.

📌 PHASE 3: 2024 // To install a second 180 kW charger, a 100 kW and 240 kWh BCube® Compact was added, achieving efficient management of up to 360 kW at charging points.
