Etrel

Interactive charging stations and management sofware made for each other

Reap the benefits of seamlessly connecting all the elements needed for smart charging.

90%

of charging takes place at home and in offices

THE GOAL
- Earn by offering EV charging flexibility to DSOs aiming to control the load in their power network
- Earn by offering EV charging flexibility to energy retailers aiming to deliver energy when it is most cost-efficient
- Couple home charging with public charging service and increase your customer loyalty
- Add charging stations in a bundle with household electricity supply to advance your sales
- Enable a higher integration of renewables in the energy grid

Majority of charging takes place at home or on workplace locations where cars are parked for a longer time. In such cases, EV batteries can be used to assist the power grid as long as the charging system can synchronise load times with the times when renewable power production is the highest. To this end, chargers need to be controllable and able to perform power management commands. Using green energy at the time of its abundance is not just environmentally sound, but also brings economic benefits that can be exploited by aggregators.

Etrel charging stations are developed for smart charging. With the support of OCPP 1.6 protocol and several physical communication interfaces, each charging station can be easily connected to a central management system. Coupled with the Client’s own Energy Management System that interacts with the grid operators or energy suppliers, connected charging stations are able to automatically respond by adjusting their charging power whenever necessary.

PARTNER STORY: SEV

SEV is an electricity utility company comprising a cooperative of all municipalities in the Faroe Islands, an archipelago close to Norway and Denmark. Their operations include generation, transmission, distribution, and supply of electricity. As an isolated island grid, Faroe Islands are very sensitive to any additional electricity loads on the network and are planning carefully on how to transition into using electric power for the fleet of about 20.000 vehicles on the islands. Grid-level power management is a necessary prerequisite for their emerging charging network. First tens of stations have already been installed and are in operation in Etrel Ocean managed by SEV, who use the Ocean software both to offer the charging service and to perform load management on the network of connected charge points . Since both hardware and software need to be able to respond to power management commands, Etrel has also delivered its G6 public stations to the Faroes. The rough environment with high salinity, moisture, and frequent rainfall called for especially durable equipment which Etrel was able to supply, using a specially reinforced stainless steel enclosure for even the most adversarial conditions.

"we are preparing for the future, importance of power management on an island. Etrel is ready to support us in line with the vision, cooperate closely, utility, trading, distribution, transmission – we know what we want and with Etrel we can get it".

PARTNER STORY: EEMOBILITY GMBH

eeMobility is a German-based company with an innovative approach exploiting flexibility of electric vehicles. They offer individual charging solutions for company fleets, performing installation of intelligent charging points at home or at work with renewable power supply, as well as providing access to European public charge points when needed en route. That allows EV drivers to easily charge their vehicles everywhere. Since eeMobility has an in-depth knowledge of the energy industry, it is building its case of smart controllable charging already today. Using Etrel wallboxes, eeMobility aims to create a large pool of connected devices, able to respons to command from a central back office system which is interacting with the energy market to optimize the prices of delivered energy. Doing so enables it to exploit EV charging flexibility both to synchronise with times of cheap, renewable energy production in German grid, and achieve financial benefits at the same time.

"We aim to create a large network of connected chargers working as Virtual Power Plant while at the same time delivering the highest level of service to our customers. After thorough research, we have chosen Etrel wallboxes in 2015 as the most capable equipment on the market for our full service offer and are already looking forward to enhance our lineup with new Etrel interactive chargers recently introduced."
