Technology

Monitoring the Grid requires a flexible system that can last years and this starts with EDGE platforms (Remote Terminal Units) in the field that are capable to counter the aggressive new developments in grid technology. This means powerful machines that can receive upgraded firmware following the ever changing necessities of the electricity distribution companies. A powerful Management Tool on the other hand is required to control the devices in the field. This management tool needs to be conceived also as a long time system ready to be upgraded when new evolutions occur. Our Management System and firmware of the devices in the field are conceived to use the most modern IT software available at each moment. 'Electric vehicles charged with the necessary energy, always and everywhere, thanks to the adaptive charging systems'. That is the reason why eNovates, the main customer of Bausch Datacom, is created and is the reason of their current rapid expansion within Europe. The product portfolio spans from fully modular AC charging stations for every need, to load balancing solutions and a full suite of smart charging software. eNovates has a rapid growing customer based with amongst others Shell. Bausch Datacom is the main R&D specialist for the smart electronics that are the core of the eNovates technology. We continually design and co-vision the electronics and functionality for eNovates. Next to this we mount productions and advise in production dossiers.

Green Energy vision

Companies such as Sunified, Riddle & Code, eNovates, Bausch Datacom and others have recently bundled their forces to develop technology that can facilitate a system of capitalization and trading for private persons and entities based on green energy coming from Solar Parks, EV infrastructure, battery loads etc. taking in account the influence on the electricity grids. Crucial in the system is importing tokenization based on blockchain and crypto anchoring - technologies coming from the financial market - and techniques such as Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and Open-Source protocolling. By introducing these technologies, a system of ownership and trading of green energy can be built and distributed in the world market together with the possibility to offer services to DSO's concerning the impact of this new evolution.
