Thermal constraints due to parts or all of the supply feeders running close to their thermal capacity limit.
Voltage constraints where the line voltage fluctuates too high or too low. Long feeders, typically tens of kilometres long, can exhibit out of range voltages due to excessive load or generation (such as PV or lightly loaded capacitive lines).
Contingency constraints where a portion of the network capacity is required in reserve for security and back-feed.
Power quality concerns due to large electronic loads creating intolerable levels of harmonics or flicker.

We provided Z Energy with cost effective, scalable, reliable and future proofed EV charging infrastructure, for cars, buses and trucks, enabled through Zeus Grid voltage support services to Powerco.
Network connection timeline reduced from 12-18 months to 4 months.
STATCOM grid service revenue through Kwetta Zeus Grid.
Ability to scale up from the initial 3 x Kwetta Sky Hook charging stations, as EV charging demand increases and in-transit heavy transport charging comes onstream.
Future energy optimisation and revenue opportunities through Zeus Grid, as flexibility markets evolve.
