Smart Energy Management for EV Charging

Control the energy flow to optimize EV charging and generate new revenue with smart energy management

Control the onsite flow of energy with advanced algorithms that combine smart utilization of the grid, local renewable energy sources, and battery storage to optimize EV charging at any scale. Monetize smart energy management by utilizing demand response and bidding in energy flexibility markets.

Optimize power consumption for EV charging

Never exceed grid capacity (don’t blow a fuse). 
Closely monitor energy usage at any level. Adjust energy allocated for EV charging to accommodate unmanaged loads (water heaters, air-conditioners, etc.) as needed.
Real-time dynamic load balancing. 
Distribute available energy for EV charging according to priority criteria assigned to each EV.
Use renewables and local battery storage.  
Seamlessly integrate with additional energy sources.

Reduce TCO with Smart Charging

Avoid costly infrastructure upgrades.  
Use peak-shaving managed by Driivz SmartChain™ to accommodate up to 6X EV charging on site without increasing site electrical capacity.
Leverage automated cost optimization 
Utilize time of use contracts to maximize EV charging power when electricity rates are low and reduce it when rates are high.
Avoid excess demand charges 
Never exceed your site’s contracted peak demand

Accommodate demand side response

Reduce power to chargers on demand.
Respond to demand response events through full control over EV charging, and support for OpenADR
Leverage V2G to balance loads. 
Use EVs as “batteries on wheels” during peak demand times (on supported chargers and vehicles).

Participate in flexibility markets

Bid on energy flexibility tenders. 
Driivz Smart Energy Management uses advanced algorithms to predict charger network usage and suggests bids which you can reliably support.
Monetize on flexibility of EV charging 
Monetize on the ability to reliably and rapidly reduce the power allocated to EV charging or replace grid power with local storage for flexibility bids that you win.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is smart energy management for EV charging?

Smart energy management is a key enabler for EV charging. It involves controlling the energy flow at the level of a charger, a site, or a campus to ensure the optimal distribution of energy from all available sources so EVs can charge up using the available electrical capacity. With the exponential growth in EV adoption, smart energy management is critical for network operators to optimize the utilization and profitability of their EV charging infrastructure.

Why is smart energy management for EV charging important?

EV charging presents a huge demand for energy, and many sites do not have enough local grid capacity to make unmanaged EV charging a viable business proposition. At the same time, upgrading capacity is very costly and may take a long time to implement. Adding smart energy management dramatically improves the ROI on EV charging by enabling a site to reliably charge multiple EVs concurrently using innovative technology that ensures the safe delivery of energy to EVs using currently available energy resources and without compromising the site’s electrical infrastructure.

How does smart energy management for EV charging work?

Smart energy management uses smart algorithms to determine how to optimize the delivery and distribution of energy for EV charging while tapping into all available energy sources, including the grid, renewables, and local battery storage. By considering a variety of factors such as unmanaged loads, demand for EV charging, fluctuating energy costs, variable levels of renewable energy and battery storage, and more, smart energy management enables network operators to provide EV drivers with an excellent charging experience while increasing revenue and overcoming grid constraints.
