Press Release15 February 2024Smart InfrastructureZug
Siemens prepares one of Portugal’s tallest buildings for the future of eMobility
Siemens Smart Infrastructure has supplied and installed 200 VersiCharge wallboxes
José Cardoso Botelho, CEO of Vanguard Properties, which owns the
Infinity building, said: “Real estate activity has a considerable impact both environmentally
and socially on the community. Infinity is a project of immense pride to us,
and an important reference of our digital transformation. We are glad to have
collaborated with Siemens to create a sustainable building for tomorrow.”
The integrated EV (Electric Vehicle) charging solution was customized by
Siemens engineering and software teams in Portugal. It allows for dynamic and
intelligent on-site charging management. The dashboards, which are intuitive
and easy to use, present comprehensive information to the building manager or
operator who can instantly view all information about each charger, as well as
monitor energy consumption in real time. Precise reports per apartment based on
monthly consumption are produced, facilitating optimization of the building's
energy performance.
VersiCharge
wallboxes are distributed over six charging islands,
across three floors of the building. The energy management system is also
prepared for the future integration of photovoltaic or other renewable energy
generation, as well as energy storage systems which will contribute further to
energy efficiency and the reduction of the building's greenhouse gas emissions.
The system includes the latest
cybersecurity functionalities, and it supports global efforts to achieve
climate targets by enabling the expansion of renewable energies.
Markus Mildner CEO eMobility, Siemens Smart
Infrastructure added: “Managing EV charging infrastructure via intelligent load
management is crucial for sustainable energy systems and grid stability”.
The contract includes delivery of the
highly scalable SICAM Dynamic Load
Management (DLM), based on the SICAM
A8000 power automation platform. The
SICAM A8000 series is a modular device range for telecontrol and power grid
automation applications in all areas of energy supply. SICAM DLM is a
future-ready, highly robust charging station management system. It is prepared
to receive grid constraint signals from distribution
system operators (DSOs) and to integrate local
distributed energy resources (DER) and energy storage systems, making it the
ideal solution for the energy transition.
It facilitates communication with
chargers, from which it extracts information related to consumption and offers
dynamic charging management algorithms. As part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, an open digital platform that
enables customers to accelerate their digital transformation easier, faster,
and at scale, the device supports a dynamic load management strategy for the
operators of the building.
Portugal’s recovery and resilience plan
aims to support the economic growth and make it ready for the future. The plan
involves the deployment of 15,000 electric vehicle charging stations by 2025. The
Infinity building is a luxury condominium by Vanguard Properties located in
Sete Rios, Campolide, Lisbon. It is one of the
largest residential projects in the city, with 26 floors above ground, 195
apartments, and 352 parking spaces, covering more than 50,000 square meters of
floor area. It is set to be the tallest and most iconic residential spot in
Lisbon’s city center with environmental engineering and sustainability at its
core.
