Energetica India Magazine October-November 2021

The pandemic situation of the last two years and the increasingly critical envi- ronmental situation is pushing us all to- wards an increasingly green ecological transition, which is leading the way in energy generation from clean renewable sources and zero impact, but which is making more and more room for mobility, especially that generated by non-com- bustion sources that are totally green (the so-called “Full Electric”) or hybrid (the so-called “Plug-in”). India is moving fast on the conversion front. At a meeting about zero-emission mobility infrastructures, Energy Minister R K Singh announced that every new petrol station owned by state-owned petrol companies will also have electric vehicle (EV) charging points. This is a real revolution that could, in a few short steps, transform the mobility of a nation that, with 1.4 billion inhabitants, is the second most populous country on the planet, after China. In India, especially in recent months, we have been working with the support of our local colleagues to conclude import- ant agreements aimed at meeting the needs that the Indian government is also beginning to promote strongly. Market demands The main requests from the market are mainly linked to infrastructural capillari- ty, and therefore to residential, commer- cial, and business solutions, that help users to have greater availability when charging their vehicles, especially in ar- eas where they spend more time. The solutions developed by FIMER cov- er every market segment, with functions exclusively aimed at meeting the needs of businesses (e.g. Load Management and Master/Slave solutions), residential users (e.g. Stand Alone, Inverter Net, Load management solutions), shopping centers and car parkings (with the pay- ment terminal solution and multi-point charge management similar to a fuel sta- tion) and finally the public, with solutions connected to remote management and accounting platforms. India, in line with the country’s economic standards, needs a quality-price prod- uct, that can satisfy any socio-economic scenario and therefore at a reasonable EVI: The Need of the Hour ELECTRIC VEHICLES Gaetano Belluccio Managing Director EVI LoB, FIMER The main functionalities that today make the installation and management of recharging infrastructures indispens- able are all aimed at integrating the system into the domestic environment, just think of dynamic energy manage- ment to avoid domestic overloads and the subsequent intervention of the energy meter, or the integration and effi - ciency of the energy produced and stored in the home through integrated systems with photovoltaic (PV) inverters. 36 energetica INDIA- Oct-Nov_2021
