Connected Energy – Solutions for a Sustainable Future

0:06 6 seconds Since the industrial revolution, our world has undergone a remarkable transformation. The power of steam and machinery ignited an era of 0:14 14 seconds productivity, growth, and innovation. As we entered the 20th century, we electrified our modern civilization and 0:21 21 seconds electricity became the main power for industries and transformed our daily lives. As a fully connected and electrified society, we are constantly 0:30 30 seconds pushing the boundaries of what is possible. Hi, my name is Loretta and I'm happy to introduce you to Mara from Phoenix Contact who will take us on a 0:38 38 seconds journey through the all electric society park. 0:44 44 seconds Welcome to our all electric society park. Here we present our vision of the allect electric society which describes 0:51 51 seconds a world in which renewable energies are available in sufficient quantities and of course affordable for everyone. The 0:59 59 seconds goal is to achieve a sustainable CO2 neutral energy supply while enabling economic growth and prosperity 1:06 1 minute, 6 seconds worldwide. The 7,800 square meter big park, a bit bigger than a traditional soccer field, is powered 1:14 1 minute, 14 seconds 100% by renewable energies. 550 solar modules and a so-called wind tree 1:21 1 minute, 21 seconds generate this green energy. The park's energy flows are interconnected by something which is called sector coupling. And this automated system 1:30 1 minute, 30 seconds ensures that the energy is always there where it is actually needed. 1:37 1 minute, 37 seconds The transformer station is the heart of the electrical energy distribution system here in the park. The two transformers ensure the right frequency 1:45 1 minute, 45 seconds and voltage in the park supply network and in the battery storage system. The transformer station itself is designed as sustainable as possible. For example, 1:56 1 minute, 56 seconds with the use of carbon concrete, we were able to reduce the wall thickness and hence also reduce the carbon footprint of the transformer station. 2:06 2 minutes, 6 seconds The electrification of the heat supply is truly revolutionary and one of the decisive factors in achieving climate targets. 2:15 2 minutes, 15 seconds The so-called cold local heating network is the central supply system here in the park for heating, cooling, and heat recovery. 2:28 2 minutes, 28 seconds Photovoltaic systems can be found here in the park all over the place. And solar modules are not only installed on the two big sun trackers on the roofs 2:37 2 minutes, 37 seconds and at facades but also here in the pavement. And the different solar systems generate more than 155,000 kwatt 2:45 2 minutes, 45 seconds hours of green energy per year. I would say we take a short walk on our 200 walkable solar panels here in the park. 2:53 2 minutes, 53 seconds And as you see here, solar energy can almost be generated everywhere. 3:01 3 minutes, 1 second A sustainable world definitely needs more than just renewable energies. In our water and environment center, we 3:08 3 minutes, 8 seconds show you our automated irrigation system with moisture sensors in the flower baths and an intelligent automation. 3:16 3 minutes, 16 seconds This ensures a responsible use of all valuable resources. 3:23 3 minutes, 23 seconds E-mobility is a decisive factor on our way to an all electric society. What components are needed in a battery 3:32 3 minutes, 32 seconds storage system to store the surplus of energy very efficiently? To get answers to these questions, let's have a look at 3:39 3 minutes, 39 seconds the control cabinet, the heart of the battery energy storage system. 3:45 3 minutes, 45 seconds Components such as connectors, power electronics, and components for the control cabinet of course help to store and distribute the surplus of energy. 3:55 3 minutes, 55 seconds Yet the part the central battery storage container has 78 battery modules and in total up to 1.4 megawatt hours are 4:03 4 minutes, 3 seconds available for the situation when the sun is not shining and the wind is not blowing. 4:09 4 minutes, 9 seconds In order that these important applications can work such as the battery energy storage systems, we need 4:16 4 minutes, 16 seconds of course among other things a reliable supply solution consisting of search protection, power supplies and device circuit breakers. 4:26 4 minutes, 26 seconds Thank you for joining me on this tour through our all electric society park. 4:33 4 minutes, 33 seconds The old electric society park is truly inspiring. We are grateful for this opportunity to learn how we can pave the way toward a brighter and more sustainable tomorrow.

0:09 9 seconds We welcome and support the better word product framework as we believe it's an 0:15 15 seconds easy way for customers to find sustainable alternatives and trustworthy certifications 0:20 20 seconds to make informed purchasing decisions. In this way, the better world product framework supports 0:26 26 seconds customers in making their businesses more environmental friendly. As company, we pursue 0:33 33 seconds identical goals in many aspects and approaches in the area of sustainability. We are contributing 0:39 39 seconds with our knowledge and expertise to have a common journey and jointly think about new opportunities 0:45 45 seconds and developments. We work very closely together on a wide bandwidth of local and international 0:53 53 seconds projects and improvements both operationally in a day-to-day business and strategically 0:58 58 seconds in the medium and long term. This brings mutual added value in the areas of ESG and go to market. 1:05 1 minute, 5 seconds Together we can reduce our ecological footprint and optimize processes by, for example, optimizing joint logistics processes or bringing the latest products and technologies 1:16 1 minute, 16 seconds to the world together with RS. Our long-standing partnership with RS is characterized by trust and 1:22 1 minute, 22 seconds transparency. This is of great importance to us as these values are an important and integral part of 1:28 1 minute, 28 seconds our own corporate value.
