Controlled charging of electric vehicles

Challenge

• Reconciling acceptance, customer convenience and system costs: requirements from regulation and the tariff options to supply charging point groups, potentially additional restrictions from upstream energy system. 
• Use of EVs as flexibility to shift charging during periods of renewable energy supply
• Increasing communication overhead, consideration of technical requirements, interaction of energy management systems  

Our solution and research work

• Automated and self-learning methods of energy and charging management and integration/development of solutions in existing systems
• Prediction of EV charging flexibility for integration and consideration at the market and in the grid
• Controlled charging 
• Optimal planning of charging processes exploiting flexibilities 
• based on the current business model of self-consumption (multi-criteria)
• Implementation as a service with standardized interfaces, including the industry-standard OCPP format for simplified integration into existing energy management and booking systems
