About
Beacon Hill Super Charging Station
Our project is designed based on the Hong Kong government's policy to introduce approximately 3,000 electric taxis by 2027. Facing challenges such as high-frequency charging demands of Hong Kong taxis operating over 18 hours daily, income loss due to charging waiting time (2.1 hours waiting results in HKD 285 loss), and high construction costs of traditional fast-charging stations, we have developed an efficient, flexible, and simplified near-zero carbon modular super charging system to meet the urgent needs of electric taxi transformation.
PEDF (Generation-Storage-Charging-Flexibility) technology development, building a sustainable electric taxi charging ecosystem.
Photovoltaic Power System (Generation)
Scalable solar array that converts solar energy into DC power, providing a clean energy source
Green Energy Storage System (Storage)
Using lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors to store excess solar power or off-peak grid electricity
Total capacity reaches 332kWh, supporting peak charging demands for multiple electric taxis
AC/DC Distribution System (Charging)
Converting AC power to DC power required for electric vehicle charging
Maximum charging power reaches 600kW, supporting rapid charging for multiple electric taxis simultaneously
Flexible Smart Monitoring Platform (Flexibility)
Edge gateway equipped with AI-driven models and digital twin technology
Real-time system data collection and intelligent control, optimizing charging efficiency and energy usage
Integrating four core hardware subsystems and charging piles into standardized containers to form a rapidly deployable independent super charging station.
Standardized Design:
Using standard container enclosure for quick transportation and deployment
Modular design for easy expansion and maintenance, adapting to different scenario requirements
Technical Advantages:
Supporting DC off-grid/grid-connected operation modes, improving system stability
Dynamically adjusting charging power through PEDF technology, optimizing energy usage efficiency
5-minute charging enables 200km driving range, meeting rapid turnover needs of taxis
Environmental Benefits:
Annual savings of 500 tons of standard coal, reducing energy consumption
Annual reduction of 1800 tons of CO₂ emissions, supporting Hong Kong's carbon neutrality goals
Building an intelligent digital charging service ecosystem to enhance user experience and operational efficiency.
