Can street lights also be charged?

In the first three months, after Shanghai had the charging function of smart street lamps, now charging piles will become the trend of electric vehicles in the future. With the popularity of electric vehicles, the problem of charging has become increasingly prominent. Although graphene materials have been gradually integrated into the battery pack to increase the cruising range since last year, the supporting and coverage of charging piles is still the key to the simplicity and low cost of the equipment. Berlin will install another 1,000 charging piles for street lamps. Street lights have been modified. This is also a reform for the street light industry. New markets open. Compared with dedicated charging piles, the biggest feature of street lamp charging piles is low cost. According to Ubitricity's official website: 'Compared to other charging stations that cost nearly 10,000 euros (not counting operating costs), this solution only costs 500 euros. Street lights are retrofitted. For the whole of Germany, there are about 200,000 telephone poles available for use. In Berlin, nearly 1,000 telephone poles will be used as charging poles in the next stage.' The American automotive media gizmag bluntly stated that the reason why Ubitricity dared to go public Claiming that he can create such a cheap street lamp charging pile, the reason is that the device is simple in structure and easy to use. Among them, the smart charging cable includes smart meters and M2M communication protocols compatible with all models. Users can choose their electricity provider and see real-time bills when they log in. It is worth mentioning that the connection manager can not only serve as a transparent platform for charging and payment, but also query the nearest charging point. It can publicly display transaction data in real time, accurately calculate the charging capacity, provide monthly bills and help users with energy management. Beijing and Shanghai have piloted smart light poles with multiple functions. According to the engineer, the transformation from traditional high-pressure sodium lamps to LED lamps can save enough capacity to support more than a dozen pure electric vehicles charging at the same time. These charging piles can be charged during the day and at night, which will effectively alleviate the charging demand for electric taxis and private cars in the area. According to the introduction of the relevant person in charge: 'The overall solution of energy-saving street lamp charging piles' integrates electric vehicle charging piles and municipal street lamp energy-saving transformation, and explores the contract energy management mode of street lamp charging piles. Similarly, Shanghai, an international metropolis, has also used this kind of street lamp charging pile. In contrast, Shanghai's street lamp charging pile has more advanced new tricks. This kind of charging pile called 'smart light pole' is laid on Dagu Road in Shanghai. Every 30 meters, a new type of silver-gray smart light pole with a height of 8 meters is erected. Its appearance is thick at the bottom and thin at the top, and the lower part is The base with a length of about 1 meter has functions such as electric vehicle charging pile, one-button help machine and touch screen. According to Lin Tao, who is in charge of the smart light pole project and deputy general manager of China Electric Power 50 Shengtong Company, the research and development of the smart light pole took about half a year, and the multiple functions of its collection were developed by different manufacturers and operators respectively. , since the trial opening at the end of October last year, the charging function of new energy vehicles has been the most used by citizens. For the street lamp management department, the dimming function can be remotely controlled to achieve energy saving. Although parking of part-time street lamp charging piles is a problem, it will become an inevitable trend. The first is the cost problem. Li Lili, chief engineer of the Power Grid Development Comprehensive Research Institute of the State Grid Energy Academy, explained the calculation method of the charging electricity fee: 'The electricity fee calculation method of the street lamp charging pile should be divided into two parts. To consider, use the charging pile with the original capacity of the municipal street light, and calculate it according to the non-resident lighting electricity price. For the charging pile that only uses the street light line and use the new power consumption capacity, according to the national support policy for the electricity consumption of the charging and replacing facilities In addition, the problem of parking spaces cannot be ignored. Pan Qinghou, founder of Qinghou New Energy, said: 'The technical problem of street lamp charging piles has long been eliminated. The reason is that the actual usage scenarios, such as how to solve the parking problem, are not taken into account.' Regarding the pilot projects in Shanghai and Beijing, Pan Qinghou said bluntly: 'The new smart poles in Shanghai are actually wall-mounted charging boxes on the street lamps. After that, I found that the main problem is that there is no way to park. Previously, one of the pilot projects in Changping was a parking space specially approved after negotiation with the traffic control department, which may not be applicable to the core urban area. At the same time, fast charging is more suitable for public places. It is worth mentioning that although there are still many problems that need to be solved, many industry experts see Recently, due to the government's strong support for electric vehicles and charging facilities, the development of charging piles has accelerated. There is even a view that street lamp charging piles will become an inevitable trend in the development of charging piles in the world in the near future. As far as the current air index is concerned, the diversified development of street lamps is a new market. The government launched, the effect will be very fast.
