Enel is working with FE to implement and optimise its innovative clean energy generation, distribution and management solutions, by providing a fully digitised micro-grid that uses the company’s smart metering and energy management technology, and integrates renewable energy sources coupled with storage and electric mobility infrastructure.
Enel will also help make the FE race in New York city the first-ever zero emission event in the championship’s history by fully offsetting the CO2 emissions of the ePrix through clean certificates linked to Enel’s existing renewables energy portfolio. The offsetting mechanism, which will be applied for the first time to the New York ePrix, will use the emission reduction certificates relating to the 74 MW Stipa Nayaa wind farm in Mexico. The wind turbines of this facility help prevent the production of over 133,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year, which is the equivalent of taking 26,000 cars off the road.
At the New York ePrix and for the first time in the championship, Enel will use bifacial solar panels for the 5 kWp photovoltaic (PV) generation system which will power the Enel stand in the eVillage. The bifacial solar panels allow for a 40% increase in efficiency compared to the conventional panels used in previous races.
As another first for the FE championship, in New York Enel will also introduce a large-scale storage system with a nominal power of 250 kW for a storage capacity of 500 kWh, which adds to the 8 kWh storage system coupled with the PV facility already in use in previous FE events. The large-scale storage system will provide power to specific loads within the Paddock area, increasing overall grid and power supply stability, as well as reducing power peak demands through a process known as ‘peak shaving’.
