Tecell’s Charge Management System (CMS) tracks real-time energy consumption per connector by integrating with smart meters and charge point controllers that support OCPP 1.6 or 2.0.1. The system collects data on power usage, voltage, and current at each connector and displays it in real-time dashboards. This allows operators to monitor usage, detect anomalies, and optimize charging operations. The data is processed through Tecell’s backend infrastructure and made available via APIs for further analysis.
How real-time monitoring works in practice
In practice, Tecell’s CMS leverages OCPP protocols to pull energy data directly from each charging station. The system aggregates this data per connector, enabling operators to see exactly how much energy is being consumed at any given moment. This granular view is especially useful for managing load balancing across multiple charging points. Operators can also set alerts for unusual consumption patterns, such as sustained high usage or unexpected drops in power flow.
What this means for fleet and commercial operators
For fleet managers and commercial operators, real-time energy monitoring provides critical insights into charging efficiency and cost control. It allows them to identify underperforming chargers or connectors and take corrective action. The system also supports dynamic pricing models by providing accurate consumption data for billing purposes. Additionally, operators can use this data to forecast energy needs and plan infrastructure upgrades more effectively.
