It revealed that by 2030, the low-voltage grid may struggle without costly upgrades, estimated at up to €9.5bn. At Volta-Xchange in Stuttgart, Germany, Felix Jaszczak, product marketing manager at ADS-TEC Energy, presented battery storage solutions capable of alleviating grid strain without upgrades, ideal for non-public charging with ultra-fast DC capabilities.

Jaszczak envisions a future with numerous decentralised energy providers operating small-scale power plants, powered by renewable energy and directly supplying consumers. He highlights the need for flexible storage due to renewable energy's volatility, with battery storage systems bridging this gap. These systems can charge from existing or local generators, ensuring energy flexibility even in constrained networks.

ADS-TEC Energy's battery storage systems cover grid shortfalls during peak demand, even charging while vehicles are connected. This dynamic charging process enables immediate vehicle charging for subsequent users, enhancing efficiency. The company’s platform solutions interconnect small-scale power plants into a decentralised network, facilitating the use of more renewable energy. Battery storage systems empower operators to act independently during peak demand, offering significant cost savings.

As the developer and producer of battery-assisted quick-charging solutions and storage systems, ADS-TEC Energy's ChargePost and ChargeBox products enable ultra-fast vehicle charging of up to 320 kW on the low-voltage grid. Without requiring costly grid upgrades, they offer exceptional performance and revenue-generating opportunities.
