Charging made flexible

In Dinant, a mobile battery supports electric charging

At Interparking, the development of electric charging is based on a progressive approach: test, analyze, and adapt solutions according to real usage. In this spirit, a unique pilot project has just been launched in Dinant with the installation of a mobile battery designed to support the power supply of existing charging stations.

The Dinant car park faces an increasingly common situation: a steadily growing demand for charging, while the capacity of the local electrical network remains limited. Strengthening this network could require major works and delays, which are often incompatible with rapidly evolving needs. The mobile battery provides a temporary solution to this constraint, without heavy intervention on the existing infrastructure.

A microgrid to smooth demand

In practice, the battery functions as a buffering microgrid. It continuously recharges via the existing electrical connection, at controlled power, and then redistributes energy to the charging stations when vehicles plug in. This allows local absorption of power peaks, particularly during busy hours or occasional events.

An open-air laboratory

Installed outdoors in a dedicated container, the Dinant battery offers a safe and flexible testing environment. This setup minimizes structural constraints and facilitates safety validations, carried out in close collaboration with local authorities, including emergency services.

Meeting a rapidly growing demand

With over 60,000 charging sessions per month and a national network of several thousand stations, energy management has become a central issue. The increase in electric vehicles, seasonal variations in battery autonomy, and evolving usage patterns highlight the need for solutions capable of supporting this transition in a pragmatic and adaptable way.
