Smart Charging Management for a Resilient Grid
Open standards-based hardware and software grid-integration in the form of smart EV charging can improve grid flexibility by more effectively utilizing renewable energy, shaving peak electricity demand, and filling demand valleys while still meeting the needs of EV drivers. We’ll explore topics like Dynamic Power Sharing, Power Boost, Smart Charging, Bidirectional Charging and Fast Charging. We’ll look in-depth at today’s EV charging network capabilities and specific application examples such as fleet charging, to optimize energy and vehicle use by setting driving schedules and routes, charging intervals, and vehicle maintenance in alignment with customer demand, power prices, traffic conditions, and charging-station availability. Finally, we’ll explore guaranteed network uptime, what it means, what you should be asking for from vendors and how it provides visibility and transparency to address charging station management from anywhere at any time.
Key Learning Points:
- Learn how to improve grid capability and EV charging with smart, open standards charging platform management systems.
