An electric vehicle energy management system (EVEMS) is a set of hardware and software components that ensures the efficient use of available energy for charging electric vehicles.
It has three main functions:
Monitoring
It monitors the energy consumed by charging devices and other components to which it is connected in real time.
Analysis
It analyzes the collected data.
Control
It controls, if necessary, the power supplied to charging devices to prevent overloading.
Primary objective
Ensure electrical safety when adding charging devices to a building, while avoiding costly and complex upgrades to the electrical infrastructure.
The EVEMS therefore plays a crucial role in optimizing multifamily charging by enabling the available electrical capacity to be used efficiently without compromising the safety of the installations.
In order for the EVEMS’ features to operate fully, the first step is to identify the components to be monitored on your electrical infrastructure. The next article will explore the monitoring function, which is essential for preventing overloads and optimizing available energy.
