Circulus is electrifying its fleet to transition to a more sustainable future. By 2030, 80% of its fleet will be electric, in anticipation of zero-emission zones in several Dutch city centers by 2025. The challenge was to meet the charging requirements of its growing electric fleet.
Circulus implemented a dual charging solution at its headquarters in Apeldoorn, providing both overnight and high-power charging capabilities. Circulus installed 3 Flex power units that are designed to dynamically split power across 9 outlets, each offering up to 250 A. They also use the Rapid 360 AiO charger, which can charge two vehicles at 180 kW or one at 360 kW. The charger's high performance and integrated payment capabilities also allow Circulus to use the chargers for semi-public charging, extending their infrastructure's utility.
A critical factor for Circulus was the turnaround time. The contract for the charging solutions was signed in October, and remarkably, the chargers were operational by the end of December.
Circulus has successfully expanded its electric fleet to 50 electric vehicles, 20 of which are trucks. The dual charging solutions implemented in Apeldoorn optimize vehicle uptime and efficient charging, ensuring that electric trucks are always ready. By collecting waste with electric vehicles, they also reduce emissions and noise in residential areas.
Heliox and TU/e aim to develop an integrated solution that makes charging heavy electric vehicles accessible without negative consequences for local electricity networks. Together, we want to achieve this by developing and demonstrating a new, multiple and dynamic charging system for heavy electric vehicles that is equipped with software-controlled stabilization to absorb disturbances on the local energy grid.
The intended system will consist of a dynamically configurable charging system based on modules that can be connected in parallel, each with three 60 kW outputs. With this they want to be able to distribute the loading capacity dynamically over several vehicles. The charging system can therefore be used for opportunity charging up to 360 kW for a single vehicle as well as for regular charging of several vehicles.
In addition, smart software and a microcontroller board are being developed. The converter of the charging system can be used via this software to compensate for grid disturbances. The disturbances are neutralized via a low impedance path. This allows losses on the grid to be converted into usable energy, while improving the voltage quality of the grid. In fact, the system completely takes over the function of current power filters on the basis of smart control.
