"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 This high-end luxury building in Lisbon posed significant challenges due to outdated assumptions and limited power capacity for its extensive EV charging infrastructure.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.

Our European energy system is undergoing a major transformation, moving towards decentralization with increased penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) connected to the grid, such as PV solar, battery storage, and EVs. While DERs provide clear benefits such as limiting costs, reducing CO2 emissions, and helping to empower consumers, there are still challenges to overcome to develop DERs to their full potential. This session will focus on best practices and innovative projects, both from a grid and user perspective (e.g. energy communities) and we will discuss how the regulatory framework can be improved to facilitate the penetration of DERs and active participation from consumers.
