Together all Enel Group employees are working on the same goal of “Open Power” in order to tackle some of the world’s greatest challenges. Within the strategy of opening electricity to new uses, towards the end of 2017 Enel SpA restructured its organization creating Enel X, a subsidiary dedicated to non-commodity activities such as energy efficiency, demand response, smart cities, smart homes and electric mobility.

Role and main tasks within the project:

Enel X will investigate and develop the parallelization of DC/DC and AC/DC power conversion modules for ultra-fast chargers, coupling several 25kW power converters and connecting them intelligently to a common DC bus. In addition, the connection of an energy storage system (ESS) directly to the DC bus will be evaluated. A stack of these power modules will be connected to the DC microgrid in Bari and validated with field trials.
Furthermore, Enel X will aid in operating the DC microgrid in Bari together with the rest of the Italian cluster.
