Situation
The use of smart charging systems for electric vehicles (EV) using cloud-based monitoring and management is on the rise. EV Charging Management Systems are crucial for managing the various expectations of those involved in the EV charging ecosystem. Through a dedicated interface, EV-owners can be provided with real-time information by the management system. Systems should not only provide an execution framework for the EV-users, but also an optimal energy trading solution to all participants involved in a smart charging infrastructure. This includes charging stations, aggregators, and other smart grid stakeholders.
Solution
Utilihive provides the optimal integration hub to the utility’s Advanced Distribution Management Solution (ADMS) and other systems of record to ensure the data flow. The Utilihive data lake offers easy access to the data that energizes mobile apps and services for EV owners. The modern Utilihive Data API offers an efficient connection to an EV supplier’s cloud API to correlate the data from the Grid, energy prices and EV owner applications.
Benefits
Through an optimized and lean management of the overall information flow, utilities, EV Supply Equipment providers, and fleets can manage electric vehicle charging in an efficient manner. In addition, utilities have the real-time data they need to curtail charging in response to periods of high demand. EV owners will also experience better services and lower expense as a result of charging at the optimal time.
