Demo Workshop: ADC Pilot Factory Showcases Innovative DC Grid Solutions
by Oxana Schmidt

The ADC Pilot Factory will demonstrate solutions for a flexible and scalable low-voltage DC grid in a semi-industrial environment. Don’t miss it!

At the Austrian DC Pilot Factory, a machine tool and an industrial robot are connected as consumer within a DC microgrid. Renewable energy is provided by a photovoltaic system, while a bidirectional charging station, together with an electric vehicle, offers energy storage capability. When required, stored energy can be fed back into the DC microgrid. The factory’s energy management system monitors, controls and optimises the overall energy flow.
