Both companies agree to facilitate the transformation of service stations to increase their available electrical power with the incorporation of solar panels, as well as battery storage systems.The business group specialized in the design, manufacture, implementation and maintenance of solutions for the integral management of electrical energy Zigor Corporación (ZGR), based in Vitoria, and the Basque company that also designs, manufactures and assembles custom-made systems for control of capital goods and industrial processes Nicolás Correa Electrónica (NCE), belonging to the Correa Group, have signed an alliance for the joint development of electric mobility projects, both in the national market and internationally.As reported in a statement, the signed alliance will promote the transformation of conventional service stations into service stations prepared with charging points for electric cars, reinforcing the installed power of these areas and enabling smart places and systems for recharging batteries. of automobiles."If we want to make the electric car a reality and be demanded by a growing number of citizens, it must have a range comparable to that of the conventional car powered by gasoline/diesel today," says Íñigo Segura, CEO of ZGR, who adds : “This means not only continuing to advance in the development of on-board batteries with greater power and with shorter charging times, but also increasing charging points, using conventional vehicle refueling areas for this purpose.And this is the line that we are going to develop at ZGR in alliance with NCE”.Between 50 kW and 300 kW more electrical power per chargerConverting conventional gas stations into service stations prepared to provide fast recharging of electric vehicles, which will need between 50 kW and 300 kW more electrical power per charger, makes it necessary to analyze the energy efficiency of your overall electrical installation.This opens the door to consider the possibility of incorporating additional systems, such as renewable energy generation systems (for example, photovoltaic) or hybrid battery storage systems.All this in order to guarantee the supply of total power required at the service station, maintaining a constant network quality and maximizing efficiency, energy savings and profitability.It is, therefore, about energy systems that bring together various sources of generation, distribution and storage, which require the design of architectures and electronic systems adapted to the measure of electrical repowering that is required in each case (including cases in which there is no electrical network available), a function in which ZGR has the know-how and experience of its engineering and design team and the various installations already completed and in operation.In fact, in September it aimed to reach 1 GW of photovoltaic power in 2022.Likewise, the Basque manufacturer also has the capacity to design, manufacture and supply the electrical and electronic components necessary to provide electrical energy to the connection points of the vehicles, so that it can be directly delivered to the vehicle.Last week ZGR advanced its new PV 1500 V Central Inverter at Intersolar, with a modular, redundant and scalable topology, which will be launched on the market in 2023. For its part, NCE has the capabilities and experience to design, manufacture and supply the hardware interface and software necessary for the supply of power to the vehicle and for the management of its load by the user.NCE already has successful developments of 20 kW and 50 kW chargers.NCE brings to the alliance its capacity to design the systems for connecting the electrical supply to the vehicle (post, hose and connectors), the software responsible for communicating with the vehicle to enable and control the recharging process, as well as the software responsible for communicating with the distributor or marketer of the energy supplied, in order to manage their payment, including the interface with the client at the same post or via mobile application.The alliance, which has just been signed by its main representatives, Íñigo Segura Díaz from Spain as CEO of ZGR Corporación, and José Carlos Martínez González as General Director of Nicolás Correa Electrónica (NCE), already has different proposals and projects underway from the which you will find out soon.This content is copyrighted and may not be reused.If you want to cooperate with us and want to reuse some of our content, please contact: editors@pv-magazine.com.See our rules for commenting on articles here.Your email address will not be published.Required fields are marked with *Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.Receive an email with the following comments to this entry.Receive an email with each new entry.By submitting this form, you agree that pv magazine uses your data for the purpose of publishing your comment.Your personal data will only be disclosed or passed on to third parties to prevent spam filtering or if necessary for technical maintenance of the website.Any other transfer to third parties will not take place unless justified on the basis of applicable data protection regulations or if pv magazine is legally obliged to do so.You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future, in which case your personal data will be deleted immediately.Otherwise, your data will be deleted when pv magazine has processed your request or if the purpose of data storage has been fulfilled.You can find more information about data privacy in our Data Protection Policy.Imprint Terms and Conditions Privacy Policy © pv magazine 2022This website uses cookies to anonymously count visitor numbers.For more information, see our Data Protection Policy.×The cookie settings on this website are set to "allow cookies" to give you the best browsing experience possible.If you continue to use this website without changing your cookie settings or you click "Accept" below then you are consenting to this.
