Energy Management: Logistics Firms Invest in Charging Infrastructure Amidst Rapid Evolution
The energy management landscape is evolving rapidly, with logistics companies investing in their own charging infrastructure due to underdeveloped public options. Meanwhile, discussions around customer installations and charging solutions are heating up, as highlighted in the latest pv magazine and its accompanying podcast.
pv magazine's editorial team, led by Scarlet Schmitz, has provided an updated market overview of wallboxes, focusing on the rise of bidirectional charging. The magazine's recent article, 'All fall into a black hole', explores the impact of the BGH ruling on customer installations. The team is also discussing the future of megawatt charging and portable wallboxes in their podcast.
Currently, proprietary charging solutions dominate in France, the UK, and Germany. However, a race is underway to develop cross-manufacturer solutions using DC or AC chargers. The ISO 15118-20 communication standard is set to become mandatory, with the first bidirectional AC business models starting to emerge. Grid operators still allow supply concepts on a single property or in a building, but district-wide energy supply projects face uncertainties until energy law adaptation or federal clarification at the EU level.
As the energy management sector continues to innovate, pv magazine remains at the forefront, providing insights into the latest trends and regulations. With logistics companies investing in their own infrastructure and cross-manufacturer charging solutions on the horizon, the future of energy management looks promising yet complex.
