7. OBJECTIVES OF ENERGY
MANAGEMENT IN EV
CHARGING
22/11/2022 7
Legal compliance. Fitting EV charging in regulatory framework of
peak shaving and compulsory restrictions
Interoperability and freedom of choice on charging hardware
Fastest time to market and lowest Capex with minimizing
infrastructure upgrades
Lowest operational costs with reduced hardware and energy cost
Carbon offset and renewable integration

8. Pg №
Congestion management (often mentioned in
regulation as “off-peak charging” or “low priority
load regulation”) is already enforced in EV
charging by many grid operators
COMPLIANCE:
CONGESTION
MANAGEMENT
Charger group A Charger group B
22.12.2020
Charger group C
Rule #1: At 7 AM, charge
with minimum power
Rule #2: At 10 AM, charge
Without restrictions
Rule #3: At 5 PM, charge
with targeted power limit

9. THE BASIC CASE OF
LOAD MANAGEMENT
22/11/2022 9
Basic load management is often accomplished via
even share of available grid connection capacity.
Combining customer information with load
management enables priorization of charging based
on customership, mission and loyalty.

12. DEMAND RESPONSE
12
Vast majority of future battery
capacity is on wheels
Tapping into the capacity with energy-optimized
charging provides additional revenue stream for charging
operators
Opportunities include implicit demand side flexibility via
SPOT price optimization and explicit participation in
frequency containment markets.
