Fleet operators can configure time-based charging schedules in Tecell’s UnityCharge CMS by defining custom charging profiles that align with renewable energy generation windows. These profiles are set through the scheduling module, where operators specify start and end times for charging sessions based on solar or wind availability. The system automatically applies these rules to all chargers in the selected network, ensuring optimal energy usage during low-cost, clean energy periods. This functionality supports dynamic load management and reduces operational costs for fleet operators.
How It Works in Practice
In practice, fleet operators begin by accessing the UnityCharge dashboard and navigating to the Charging Profiles section. They then create a new profile, selecting the relevant chargers and assigning a schedule that corresponds to renewable energy windows. The system allows for multiple profiles per site, enabling granular control over different vehicle types or charging zones. Operators can also set exceptions for urgent charging needs, ensuring flexibility without compromising sustainability goals.
Benefits for Fleet Operations
This feature directly supports fleet operators in reducing electricity costs and improving sustainability metrics. By aligning charging with renewable energy availability, operators can take advantage of lower rates and reduce reliance on grid power during peak hours. The CMS also provides real-time analytics showing how much clean energy was used, helping fleets meet regulatory or corporate ESG targets. Additionally, automated scheduling minimizes manual oversight, freeing up staff to focus on other operational priorities.
