Systems for managing charging stations in the municipal and business space
Management of charging stations for electric vehicles
With the increasing need for charging stations of different types and models and manufacturers, the CONTROLIOT company has developed a smart and fast interface that allows the display of the charging units (as mentioned of different types) on a map, a dashboard and a report system that enables the management of the charging systems in the space independent of a specific manufacturer, supplier or model and allows for flexibility and independence In the provider, a management system approved and supporting the OCPP protocol open to any system and charging station.
A uniform system that combines quality comparison between charging station units in the controlled space alongside the integration of additional control areas under the same system such as cameras for security and verification purposes, sensors of various types, a smart parking system and more.....
In 2023, about 50,000 electric vehicles are expected to hit Israel's roads, which constitute close to 20% market share of the total number of vehicles sold.
Along with the many opportunities inherent in the trend of the expansion of electric vehicles, there are quite a few challenges that need to be addressed, including the issue of local and global energy shortages, integration into billing systems in shared parking lots with multiple vehicles and different ownership, information security for the charging stations, infrastructure for the establishment of the shared parking lots, adherence to the changing toll rates From hour to hour and from season to season, valuable information that is an asset to the vehicle fleet system administrator.
Dynamic load management
The hottest and most complex challenge of charging stations for electric vehicles is the lack of electricity. The problem starts with the electrical panel of the building or the electricity/lighting poles in the urban area, through the transmission system of the electric company to the electricity production. Since the problem of electricity generation and transmission is too complex to solve:
Through a dynamic load distribution system, we can reduce the charging system input per unit in order to increase the amount of vehicles being charged and at the same time provide the energy required for the network to satisfy the needs of other consumers, for example light poles in an urban area..
Billing
Using a smart electric vehicle charging station that includes advanced functions. The system identifies, through a built-in internal meter at each electric vehicle charging station, the amount of consumption each month, obliges the relevant station owner in the link to the application and the vehicle being charged, with his exact consumption and credits the central energy supplier. Needless to say that the energy supplier will be updated according to the new tariff (March 2023) and even though the gap between low and peak rates can reach up to 4 times! The smart system system allows charging to be set only during off-peak hours and thereby save very high amounts on the monthly charge.
