Join our webinar to discover how Ampcontrol's AmpEdge local controller revolutionizes megawatt charging and microgrid installations for global fleet operators with AI-driven optimization and seamless integration for efficient energy management.
Joachim Lohse is the Founder and CEO of Ampcontrol, solution provider for fleet electrification projects. Since 2019, he has worked with charging networks, utilities and fleet operators to reduce total charging costs and ensure a reliable operation. His team of energy engineers and data scientists are pioneering the future of EV charging.
Executive Summary
The webinar introduces Ampcontrol's AmpEdge local controller, launched this year, to address specific needs of fleet operators. AmpEdge is an advanced local controller that leverages Ampcontrol's AI-powered software, designed to optimize and manage charging operations for megawatt charging sites. AmpEdge allows for real-time load balancing and integration with existing infrastructure, significantly reducing costs and installation time. This solution is ideal for large charging sites such as distribution centers and for microgrid sites with solar and battery energy storage (BES).
Executive Summary
The AmpEdge is most beneficial for companies requiring local power management with multiple devices; however, we prioritize having data in the cloud for operational integration, except in specific cases like military use. It is best to determine whether the AmpEdge local controller is necessary for your setup, particularly if you have a stable internet connection and only charging needs without additional components like buildings, batteries, or solar.
Customers without battery, solar, or buildings on the same site as their charging infrastructure likely don't need the AmpEdge system. However, those with these additional components should consider it and discuss with us whether it's necessary.
Pre-commissioning of the AmpEdge system can be done before shipping, and onsite commissioning typically takes one to two days, depending on site size and network setup. However, it is advisable to plan for one to two weeks to account for potential issues such as charger firmware updates and router configuration problems. Despite this, pilots and proofs of value have been completed within two weeks, with commissioning sometimes taking only one or two days.
Ampcontrol works with a wide range of fleets, manufacturers, and solution companies to help them optimize their electric fleet operations. To learn more about Ampcontrol in action, check out the following case studies.
