Energy storage power station for stadiums

Is it beneficial for stadiums to use solar energy?

While more and more stadiums take the step to develop on-site solar energy generation systems to minimize the environmental impact of their energy use and realize the associated financial and brand benefits, there is significant potential to do more.

Why should stadiums use onsite smart chargers?

When the stadium experiences peaks in its electricity load, each EV would quickly pitch in to provide clean local energy and avoid costly strains on the grid. The onsite smart chargers would ensure that this peak shaving doesn’t prevent all the EVs from being fully charged by the time the match ends or the performer hits their final note.

Why is a stadium considered 'Green'?

Stadiums are considered 'Green' because they offer fans meaningful exposure to on-site solar power generation and other eco-friendly practices such as energy- and water-efficient building design, zero-waste programs, and recycling and composting. The NRDC Solar Electric Guide provides more information on this topic.

Why should you invest in a Smart Energy Arena?

With a capacity of 2.8 MWh, the arena’s battery can balance the differences in energy supply and demand, provide clean backup power during a blackout and even help balance the country’s electricity grid by providing frequency regulation services upon the request of grid operators. Naturally, the smart energy considerations don’t stop there.
