4. List of Smart Charging Features

Economic/Price Optimization of Charging

On local level or remotely

  • Based on energy tariffs.

  • Time scheduling of charging towards lower tariffs or self-consumption when user preferences and pricing allows it.

  • Evaluation of on-site production (e.g., photovoltaics).

 

Operation Optimization

On local level or remotely

  • Frequency regulation.

  • Machine learning and pattern recognition using built-in AI to predict and optimise each charging session.

  • Collection of user's departure time over web interface or touch screen to refine automatically suggested charging profile.

  • Support for Modbus protocol for integration with external smart building systems.

 

Overload Prevention (of Fuse and/or Grid Connection Point)

On local level, with or without using Etrel Load Guard, or with management system, e.g. by using Etrel Ocean:

  • Static limit of maximum allowed charging current per phase.

  • Static limit of maximum allowed charging current per phase in case connection with Load Guard sensor / back-end is lost.

  • Detection and visualisation of available supply and automatic adjustment of charging power.

  • Detection and visualisation of surplus energy returned to the grid (Production from renewable energy sources).

Demand Response Activation
