With a prize proposed from the California Energy Committee, Robert Bosch LLC plans to prove the effectiveness of the microgram based on regeneration. The project aims to highlight the benefits and the ability to survive the direct current (DC) of the commercial scale, compared to the current (AC) mesh (AC) alternating. The DC construction mesh will include the roof of the roof of the roof connected to the DC lighting system, ventilation and energy storage on DC 380 Volt bus.
Turn a Honda America spare part factory into non -network energy
The California Energy Committee funds will provide a chance for Bosch to prove a low -cost microgro solution. Designed to prove an effective approach to the cost to convert commercial buildings into non -network energy users, this creative Bosch DCch DCch Microgrid will be installed at Honda parts distribution factory of Honda Motor Co., Inc., (NYSE: HMC) in California.
Honda's spare parts distribution center helps support more than 16 main production facilities of North America Honda. Car production in the US for more than 30 years, in 2014, 98 percent of all Honda brands sold in the US were produced in North America.
Bosch group: A global provider
Bosch Group includes Robert Bosch GmbH (RBO) and more than 360 subsidiaries and regional companies in nearly 50 countries. A leading global technology and service provider, Bosch Group provides four business areas: consumer goods, mobile solutions, industrial technology, and construction technology and energy. According to preliminary figures in 2014, nearly 290,000 colleagues brought sales of 48.9 billion euros, equivalent to 65 billion USD.
Establishing presence in North America in 1906, the Bosch Group currently used about 25,000 associates at more than 100 locations. According to preliminary data in 2014, Bosch's consolidated sales in the US, Canada and Mexico reached $ 11.3 billion. All together, including sales and service partners, Bosch is represented in about 150 countries. With a network of development, production and sales worldwide, the platform is established for further growth. And growth is being conducted well. In 2014 alone, Bosch applied for about 4,600 patents worldwide.
Contribute to California's carbon reduction goals
Oliver Steinig, Vice President of Business Development of Robert Bosch LLC, said that in a recent statement, we believe that Bosch DC's microgro system will contribute to the target of carbon reduction and energy efficiency of California. By increasing reliability and using dispersed renewable energy. Steinig continues, note that the grid will improve the energy efficiency of advanced technologies-as LED lighting combined with advanced lighting controls, motor with frequency drives and storage systems Store energy-how to operate them on DC Power. “
Bosch DC construction mesh integrates many advanced technologies to provide a stable power source for the grid load. The ability to recover during the power failure will also be integrated, as well as increase the use of renewable energy. Performance data will be collected and analyzed after the project is installed and launched. Cost savings, energy efficiency increases and the technological ability of the advanced microgrid energy management system will be monitored and confirmed.
A complete supply chain is being developed
The project is expected to significantly improve the technical knowledge needed to refine and integrate the creation of dispersed renewable energy into California's distribution infrastructure. In addition, predicting the application of wide scale of DC mesh architecture efficiently and saving energy of Bosch, a complete supply chain to integrate the system has been developed through partnerships. different.
Technical experts with successful monitoring records in developing and providing related technologies will participate as a partner in the project. That can be combined into advanced micrograms will participate in the project. To ensure optimal design, technique and expertise to confirm performance for Bosch DC Microgrid, the partnership has been formed with Consulting Consulting and California Lighting Technology Center (CLTC), Maxwell Technologies and Imergy Power System for complete technology supply chain.
An international professional service company, Consulting Consulting (NYSE: NCI) specializes in supporting customers in creating and protecting value when faced with important business risks and opportunities. CLTC, part of the University of California, Davis, is a research, development and demonstration facility dedicated to speeding up the development and commercialization According to, energy saving.
Maxwell is a global leader in developing and producing creative energy solutions, cost efficiency and energy solutions. Based in Fremont, California, Imergy Power Systems is the leading company in fixed energy storage solutions using creative flow battery technology. Its proven energy storage platform (ESP) provides an overall solution to reduce energy costs and optimize the production of renewable energy while improving the overall energy reliability. .
A three -year project was set to start immediately
The California Energy Committee Award with the amount of $ 2,817,566. In addition, Bosch and its partners have provided $ 1,790,095 in artifacts and suitable to support development, planning and project implementation. After the contract with the California Energy Committee was signed, the Bosch -based DC Microgrid project is expected to start immediately and end in February 2018.
