When Goldbeck wanted to install charging infrastructure at its Hirschberg site, the company quickly realized that the load of the charging points would exceed the grid connection point’s capacity of 345 kW. In order to neither limit the charging capacity nor have to carryout a costly extension of the grid connection point, Goldbeck decided to use the Dynamic Charge Option of XENON charge.
"XENON charge gives us a comprehensive overview of our energy consumption. This enabled me to analyze the charging behavior and adjust our maximum peak load directly in the EV Suite."

A few months after the installation,Goldbeck was able to realize further savings. The high-resolution historic data of XENON charge enabled Goldbeck to analyze the load curves at its location. Most of the cars were parked at the charging stations for the entire working day. This insight enabled Goldbeck to further reduce the peak load and thus further lower grid tariffs without affecting user comfort.
Since Goldbeck delivers many of its parking garages with a PV system installed, the ability to couple other energy resources with the charging infrastructure was an important factor. XENON charge offers this functionality. This enables Goldbeck to integrate the charging infrastructure with batteries and PV systems to further optimize the energy efficiency in its parking garages.
