Benefits

Provision of rapid charging hubs

The DC Share solution provides the high levels of power required by rapid charging hubs without the need to build new AC distribution substations. Thus where there are mixed use substations in close proximity and / or space is constrained the DC Share solution should be beneficial

Future-proofing of the network

The DC Share solution can expand and adapt over time to meet the changing future needs of the customers. Under-utilised substations can be connected to the DC network, allowing them to provide additional capacity.

The DC Share solution will enable connection of future DC loads and generation to help future proof the energy network.

Carbon and Environmental Benefits

The availability of rapid charging hubs is an enabler of uptake of EVs. When internal combustion engine vehicles are replaced with EVs there environmental benefits in the form of a reduction in carbon emissions and a positive impact on air quality.

Future-proofing of Network Infrastructure

The DC Share solution can expand and adapt over time to meet the changing future needs of the customers. Under-utilised substations can be connected to the DC network, allowing them to provide additional capacity.

The DC Share solution will enable connection of future DC loads and generation to help future proof the energy network.

Increased Network Flexibility

The provision of flexible methods to distribute electricity enables the existing AC networks to be managed more effectively, optimising power flow in real time to react to changing network demands and providing real-time controllable support to the wider AC network.
