Search Result10 Facts about Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles (EVs) are at the heart of developing synergies between the transport and energy sectors. EV integration into the electricity grid offers a particularly compelling solution for energy storage and grid services, enabled by so-called vehicle-to-grid mechanisms and smart charging. The shift to electric vehicles will also bring about additional employment and environmental benefits…

Building Automation and Controls (BAC) enhance comfort and productivity while using less energy, thus reducing costs and bills. All too often, energy improvement in buildings is only focused on the building fabric (such as insulation) and the installed equipment (like LEDs or high-efficiency boilers), but overlooks the opportunities in more efficient and dynamic operability. This is where advanced…

Case Study about optimizing compressed air station to reduce idle times and increase energy efficiency better responding to variable peak loads. Helmut Rembert, Senior Facilities Engineer at the John Deere factory in Mannheim: “Once the turbo compressors are switched off, you have to wait at least twenty minutes for them to start up again. If you want flexibility, you have to run them idle from…
