Smart demand vehicle charging solution

For a leading UK energy supplier

Cloud Energy & Utilities Power Management V2G

Challenge

Scope, design and develop a production and scale-ready solution that would enable the energy supplier to offer smart in-home vehicle charging that:
Enabled demand management of supply (especially peak supply) to and from the grid.
Lowered carbon generation intensity.
Reduced charging costs for customers.

Over 75% of electric vehicles could be using smart charging by 2050. Well over 2.8 trillion data points will be collected into 2050 to understand where electric vehicles are charging on the electricity system.

Learnings

The solution we developed uses AI to create ‘smart-charge’, controlling the balance of demand load across the grid.
The sensing technology we integrated into the product design and hardware is key to the control system and management of grid services.
We knew the potential product development pitfalls and could help to navigate the customer through each stage of the development journey.
