Alfen, a specialist in energy solutions for the future, has been selected by knowledge and innovation centre ElaadNL to supply an integrated energy storage solution for its electric vehicle (EV) charging test site in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
This project complements Alfen’s previous assignments for ElaadNL consisting of Alfen’s EV charging equipment, load balancing charging plaza and substation for the connection to the grid. Together with the new storage facility, this integrated system provides ElaadNL with full testing capabilities around smart EV charging.
ElaadNL recently created a test site at its headquarters in Arnhem, consisting of all types of AC charging stations from multiple suppliers that are present in the Netherlands public domain. At this test site, EV manufacturers, grid operators and ElaadNL can test the functionality of EVs in combination with various charging stations, including power quality effects and smart charging options. The site was officially opened by Stientje van Veldhoven, State Secretary for Infrastructure and Water Management, on 18 April 2018.
