Maintaining balance between power demand and supply, especially locally
Cloud-based smart energy management platform as the ecosystem brain
The smart energy management platform records the power flows from energy generation, battery storage, energy consumption by EVs, and the building itself. Using its intelligent management tools, the platform sends out smart charging signals to the 26 charge sockets installed inside the building for the cars and to the fast charger outside for busses. By dynamically controlling the charging speed of every socket, the platform ensures that the load on the transformer is kept as low as possible, saving significant costs.
The smart management ecosystem helped reduce peak electricity demand by 71%, which ultimately resulted in a less-costly grid connection investment for charging busses and passenger vehicles. Simultaneously, with the smart charging technologies developed in this project, it is possible to install ten times more charge stations at the Teslavolts while still realising the 71% peak demand reduction.
