"Siemens Tackles Future-Proof EV Charging Challenges with Vanguard Properties in Lisbon's Infinity Building Project"

Siemens recently participated in a discussion panel to highlight the crucial role of customer stories in shaping their approach toward future buildings, particularly focusing on an innovative project with Vanguard Properties. This high-end luxury building in Lisbon posed significant challenges due to outdated assumptions and limited power capacity for its extensive EV charging infrastructure. Siemens addressed these issues by implementing a comprehensive solution involving 200 VersaCharge units and the SICAM A8000-based smart dynamic load manager, integrated seamlessly into the existing infrastructure. This system enabled real-time local control and efficient energy management, accommodating differing constraints across six groups of chargers. The data collected was shared with an IoT supervision system that provided transparent dashboards showcasing energy consumption, available power, grid constraints, and charger status—crucial for both users and maintenance teams. The initiative also emphasized broader goals like integrating renewable energy sources into grids while ensuring sustainability and flexibility. By participating in demand response programs using open customizable systems, Siemens demonstrated preparedness for evolving regulations. The successful deployment underscored how strategic EV charging solutions can significantly contribute to grid stability and sustainable energy use globally. In conclusion, Siemens envisions future-proof buildings—exemplified by the "Infinity" concept—that integrate advanced digital solutions to meet modern electrical grid demands efficiently.

Off-grid solar systems are often the least expensive option for rural electrification. Solar home systems can power individual households, while mini-grids can supply entire villages. Each comes with its own advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. The aim of this session is to explore challenges as well as success stories. It takes well-functioning components such as battery systems, charge management and inverters to make projects successful. Proper system sizing, maintenance and repair management, as well as a robust financial concept are also necessary. If one of these elements is missing, the electrification will not be sustainable. This session will focus on the aspects mentioned above. The speakers will present successful and unsuccessful approaches and discuss what can be learned from them.
