A building site is a location where many parties converge. Construction combinations, suppliers and subcontractors need to jointly execute work in varying line-ups. The use of someone else’s building site infrastructure is a day-to-day occurrence. Components of the energy system at a building site therefore need to be rendered uniform in order to be able to guarantee safety and flexibility in the longer term. ENI is therefore working at standardisation and exchangeability in the field of energy installations.

There are currently many new technical innovations available in terms of energy supply and management at building sites. Think in terms of battery containers, solar and wind powered energy, generators running on alternative sources of energy such as hydrogen, registration apps and of course electrical building site machinery. However, there are as yet no statutory standards to guarantee that installations from various suppliers can be seamlessly combined in a wide range of combinations. This applies to the physical connections (cables and connectors) as well as to data flows and working agreements.

ENI has therefore formulated a list of recommendations for standards regarding connectivity at the emission-free building site. As there is still limited practical experience with complex building site installations, the following advice may be subject to change. Future updates of this document will include any new insights.

This initial list of recommended standards was formed by a round table of ENI participants who represent both systems suppliers and users: Greener, Dens, Smart Grid, Bredenoord, Genpower, Elaad, Equip, Heijmans, Dura Vermeer and GMB.
