The challenge
The scale of the required electrical load necessitated the installation of sufficient supporting infrastructure to ensure the charging network could operate reliably and maintain a stable power supply.
The HDS solution
The initial charging point locations were agreed and marked on a base design drawing. This established the required substation capacity and loading levels, allowing a three-phase cable network to distribute power to sub-feeder pillars across the site. Individual single-phase supplies were then provided to each charging point, with every charger connected to a central communications network for remote monitoring, management and control.
The outcome
The sites were designed for phased commissioning, allowing sections of the charging network to be brought online as demand increased. This gave the client a flexible and scalable solution, enabling charging capacity to be expanded on an as-needed basis.
