Tecell’s Charge Management System (CMS) supports integration with third-party Energy Management Systems (EMS) to enable real-time energy consumption optimization. This integration allows operators to coordinate charging schedules with on-site energy generation, storage, and grid conditions for improved efficiency and cost management.
How the integration works in practice
The integration leverages standard communication protocols such as Modbus, MQTT, and REST APIs to connect CMS with EMS platforms. Operators can configure rules-based logic that adjusts charging power dynamically based on real-time data from the EMS. For example, when solar panels generate excess energy, the system can prioritize charging to absorb that surplus rather than exporting it to the grid.
This capability is especially valuable for commercial and fleet deployments where energy costs and sustainability goals are key considerations. The system can also respond to demand response signals from utilities, allowing operators to participate in grid services while maintaining charging performance.
What this means for fleet operators
Fleet managers benefit significantly from this integration by aligning charging with vehicle usage patterns and energy pricing. For instance, if an EMS detects low electricity rates during off-peak hours, it can instruct CMS to increase charging rates to take advantage of cheaper energy. This not only reduces operational costs but also supports corporate sustainability initiatives.
Additionally, the integration enables predictive load management. By knowing the expected energy output from solar or battery systems, fleet operators can pre-schedule charging to avoid peak demand charges or ensure vehicles are fully charged before high-energy periods.
