How to boost efficiency by combining photovoltaics (PV), storage systems, electromobility and heat
Rising energy prices, growing expectations of sustainable management and more and more frequent grid congestion are creating new challenges for commercial and industrial operations. At the same time, innovative technologies and rising levels of integration are creating new supply models: The smart combination of photovoltaics, battery storage systems, charging infrastructure for e-fleets and heating solutions allow companies to cut their energy costs while increasing supply security and reducing emissions.
As part of an integrated energy system, companies are moving from being mere electricity consumers to generating electricity and covering their own supply while helping to maintain grid stability. Electricity self-consumption, load management and sector coupling are at the center of this new landscape.
The smarter E Europe puts the spotlight on integrated solutions for commercial and industrial operations, showing how C&I systems can boost operational efficiency through smart combinations.
Knowledge, orientation and practical tips for commercial and industrial operations
To put smart C&I energy concepts into practice, it is important to look at the whole picture – from needs assessment and technical layout to financing, operation and marketing. At The smarter E Europe alliance of exhibitions, all key players involved in implementing smart combinations of C&I facilities will be presenting their most innovative solutions and products.
