E-bike Charging Station

In October 2016, an e-bike recharging station opened on TU Delft campus, offering both a practical charging point for e-bike users, and a living laboratory for TU Delft researchers. The station, aesthetically designed by the IDE faculty, is powered by an efficient PV system and innovative DC electric system designed by the EEMCS faculty. It is operational and is currently under monitoring for studies related to solar energy and e-mobility.

The e-bike charging station solely uses solar energy. The charging station has eight solar panels with a total peak power of 2.3 kilowatts and features a 10-kWh storage unit for cloudy days. During summer, the station will deliver its excess power to the grid. The solar charging station has connections for four e-bikes or e-scooters with three different connections: 48-volt DC, 230-volt AC or a wireless connection through the e-bike’s kick stand which functions as an antenna. The station also has a weather station to monitor the outside climate as well as temperature sensors to monitor the temperature levels of the solar panels.
