Incorporating Load Management to Optimize Your Charging Stations
This panel will discuss:
- What is load management, why is it important, and what are some customer use cases?
- How can the performance of EV charging load management solutions be measured, and why does that matter
- What are the pros and cons of different smart charging types, e.g. local versus cloud-based/central smart charging
- How may contention be resolved between multiple applications (e.g., microgrid, BAS) vying for control over the same data point
- How many chargers can be load-managed across a customer deployment? What is the scope?
- Practical considerations from a technical point of view
