Managing Grid Load and Costs with OCPP
A Smart Approach to EV Charging
In the ever-evolving energy market, managing grid load efficiently is crucial. At Powston, we use the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) to help you navigate this challenge. Our system allows you to control EV charging based on real-time spot prices in the Australian National Energy Market.
How It Works
Every five minutes, we check the current energy prices. When prices are high, we limit charging to avoid costly intervals. When prices drop, we maximize charging to take advantage of lower rates. This approach helps you save money and reduces strain on the grid.
Getting Started
To set up your smart charging system, you need a unique OCPP key from us. This key allows you to integrate your charger with our system.
Benefits
Using our system offers several benefits:
- Cost Savings: Avoid expensive charging intervals.
- Grid Management: Help balance the grid load.
- Ease of Use: Simple setup with our unique OCPP key.
