Reduce peak power demand ensuring stable energy supply, cost-effective energy usage, and decreased outages for EV fleet charging sites

REQUEST A DEMO
Capacity Setting

Limit total peak power demand for fleet charging sites

Reduce utility costs for your fleet by setting the available power of all your sites through one single platform. Implement peak shaving to manage power usage during high-demand periods, optimizing energy consumption. Set power constraint multiple levels for constraints on the breaker, transformer, and panel level.

  • Set kW limit for site
  • Multi-level constraints
  • Certified for UL 60730-1

Peak Shifting

Set a variable capacity limit to shift power to off-peak demand periods

Set different peak power constraints (kW) per time of the day, integrating Peak Shaving to manage high-demand periods effectively. Reduce total energy costs for the fleet by shifting the energy use to off-peak prices. Intelligent algorithms dynamically distribute power between fleet vehicles, optimizing charging efficiency.

  • Easy update through dashboard
  • Set different limit per minute interval
  • Reduce demand charges

Dynamic Load Management

AI-powered software sends peak shaving charging commands in real-time

The EV charging software connects to the EV chargers through OCPP. After calculating the charging profiles, the algorithms send peak shaving commands to charge points. The algorithms re-optimize instantly with every state change to ensure maximized utility usage, while lowering cost.

  • OCPP smart charging
  • Low latency
  • Off-line charging possible
