Load Control and Future Infrastructure Need Forecasting – Network Agnostic Usage Monitoring Demonstration

Lead Proponent

Mogile Technologies Inc.

Project Background

The objective of this project was to demonstrate a centralised Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) load-control and demand-response tool compatible with multiple charging networks. This allows utilities to both adjust the power output of charging stations and dynamically change pricing based on predicted load usage.

Results

The project provides an innovative solution which reduces peak power demands to the grid due to increased EV usage, and it supports future infrastructure planning decisions with real-life data.

The system can also be used by utilities to provide incentives for EV owners to charge at off-peaks periods through smart demand-based pricing.

Benefits to Canada

The project enables entities to have complete real-world multi EVSE vendor datasets which show how networked charging stations are being used across a given area. This facilitates infrastructure planning decisions.

In addition, this project provides utilities with a centralized EVSE demand-response module compatible with multiple charging networks.

Next Steps

Mogile will work with station deployment funders to track charging data to ensure that EVSE operators keep stations running post installation for the benefits of EV drivers.
