To modernize the EV charging infrastructure, eMP will replace obsolete chargers with more than 250 Terra 184 units. Deliveries are scheduled to begin this autumn.

eMP will install the chargers at stores located on the roadside, along highways and other public places, offering users quick and easy access. With the ability to charge up to two electric vehicles simultaneously, ABB’s fast and compact Terra 184 chargers are ideal for Japan’s cities. Terra 184 can also be connected via ABB Ability ABB’s unified, cross-industry, digital offering that extends from device to edge to the cloud – for centralized control and fast global service for software updates and maintenance, vital for the rapid deployment of EV charging infrastructure.

Terra 184 is the newest member of ABB’s best-selling Terra family of chargers and supports all charging standards on the market, including CCS, CHAdeMO and AC. With highly customizable features such as cable management systems, screens and credit card payment terminals, the Terra 184 delivers maximum charging convenience for a broad range of EV users.

ABB’s UniPack-G provides safety and reliability for Argentina’s largest electricity distribution company

Argentina’s largest electricity distribution company in Edenor SA has selected ABB to help meet the country’s energy distribution challenges. Headquartered in Buenos Aires, Edenor SA distributes power to approximately 20 percent of the country. With the region facing challenges ranging from increasing energy demands to declining reserve margins, Edenor was looking for a partner to provide its customers with a smart, safe, and efficient distribution solution. ABB’s experts explained the benefits of using the UniPack-G Compact Secondary Substation, including high safety and reliability, along with ease of maintenance and installation. Ultimately, the customer chose to use the UniPack-G with its glass reinforced polyester enclosure to aid the distribution of auxiliary energy to high- and medium-voltage substations.

By using ABB’s patented GRP material for the enclosure in the UniPack-G CSS, all of the equipment within was protected by a housing that has the strength and durability of concrete with the lightweight characteristics of steel. Its internal components have a prolonged lifespan, due to the strong thermal characteristics of the UniPack-G enclosure. Additionally, it was lightweight enough to be easily transported.

The IEC 62271-202 classified solution also introduced high-end thermal and mechanical properties while assuring safety for personnel and the general public in the event of an internal arc.

The UniPack-G is installed in part of the Federal Capital and Buenos Aires surroundings and furthermore could be used on future projects. It is equipped with UniSec air-insulated secondary switchgear.
