Example Projects
These Example Projects demonstrate how Kognos EV can tailor solutions across the industrial spectrum while maintaining focus on energy resilience and tenant value creation.
Light Industrial Park Logistics Hub

Park Profile:
  • 50 acre site with 15 tenants (3PL providers, e-commerce fulfilment)
  • 120 EV fleet vehicles (delivery vans, yard tractors)
  • Peak demand: 1.2 MW
Challenges:
  • 40% energy cost increase since 2021
  • Insufficient grid capacity for planned EV expansion
  • Tenant disputes over energy allocation
Kognos Solution Implementation:
  • Install solar canopies over loading bays and parking
  • Deploy modular battery system (3 x 500kWh units)
  • Introduce priority charging for shared fleet vehicles Results
  • 68% on site renewable energy usage
  • £180k annual savings via peak shaving
  • Enable 50 additional EV fleet vehicles without grid upgrade
  • Tenant retention improvement to 92% (from 78%) Key Metrics
Potential Results:
23% ROI through combination of:
  • Solar PPA income (£85k/yr)
  • Capacity market payments (£42k/yr)
  • Tenant service fees (£102k/yr)
Heavy Industrial Cluster Manufacturing Park

Park Profile:
  • 8 energy-intensive manufacturers (chemical, steel)
  • 24/7 operations with 8MW baseline load
  • 45 diesel forklifts scheduled for electrification
Challenges:
  • Exposure to volatile wholesale prices
  • £650k/year in TRIAD charges
  • Unable to meet corporate Scope 2 targets
Kognos EV Solution:
Hybrid Microgrid with:
  • 5MW rooftop solar
  • 4MWh battery storage
  • 2MW backup CHP (hydrogen-ready)
  • Smart charging for 60+ industrial EVs
Implementation Phases:
  1. Energy Resilience: Islanding capability for critical processes
  2. Cost Reduction: Automated peak avoidance algorithms
  3. EV Transition: Opportunity charging for material handling
EVs Results:
  • Potential 31% reduction in energy costs (£1.2m annual savings)
  • Triad charges eliminated through load shifting
  • Enable Scope 2 reporting with REGO-backed solar
Logistics Park

Park Profile:
  • Cold storage facilities (-25°C operations)
  • 72 HGV charging points required
  • Limited roof space for solar
Challenges:
  • Refrigeration load spikes causing demand charges
  • DNO restrictions on new connections
  • Need for future hydrogen compatibility
Kognos Solution:
"EnergiPort" System:
  • Floating solar on retention ponds (1.8MW)
  • Cryogenic energy storage (Liquid Air)
  • Hydrogen-ready HGV charging plazas
Technical Highlights:
  • Cold storage load matched with solar generation
  • Liquid Air system provides <1p/kWh storage
  • Dual-fuel charging (electric/hydrogen) future-proofing
Results:
  • Potential 89% demand charge reduction
  • Enable 100% renewable cold chain operations
  • Position port for upcoming Clean Maritime Plan
