Siemens installs 200 VersiCharge wallboxes and an intelligent charging management system to the Portuguese Infinity building
Siemens Smart Infrastructure, a provider of intelligent, adaptive infrastructure solutions, has delivered and installed 200 VersiCharge wallboxes and an intelligent charging management system at the Infinity building in Lisbon, Portugal.
The Infinity building, owned by Vanguard Properties, is one of the tallest residential sites in the city. The integrated Electric Vehicle (EV) charging solution was customized by Siemens engineering and software teams in Portugal, allowing for dynamic and intelligent on-site charging management.
The VersiCharge wallboxes are distributed over six charging islands, across three floors of the building. The energy management system is also prepared for future integration of photovoltaic or other renewable energy generation, as well as energy storage systems. This will contribute further to energy efficiency and the reduction of the building’s greenhouse gas emissions. The system includes the latest cybersecurity functionalities and supports global efforts to achieve climate targets by enabling the expansion of renewable energies.
The contract includes delivery of the highly scalable SICAM Dynamic Load Management (DLM), based on the SICAM A8000 power automation platform. The SICAM A8000 series is a modular device range for telecontrol and power grid automation applications in all areas of energy supply. SICAM DLM is a future-ready, highly robust charging station management system. It is prepared to receive grid constraint signals from distribution system operators (DSOs) and to integrate local distributed energy resources (DER) and energy storage systems, making it the ideal solution for the energy transition.
The Infinity building is a luxury condominium by Vanguard Properties located in Sete Rios, Campolide, Lisbon. It is one of the largest residential projects in the city, with 26 floors above ground, 195 apartments, and 352 parking spaces, covering more than 50,000 square meters of floor area. It is set to be the tallest and most iconic residential spot in Lisbon’s city center with environmental engineering and sustainability at its core.
