Eaton Partners with ChargeLab to Enhance Electric Vehicle Load Management Dynamics
Eaton's Intelligent Load Management Revolutionizes EV Charging Infrastructure
The widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) presents a significant challenge: the need for costly and complex upgrades to existing electrical infrastructure to support charging stations. However, Eaton, a leading innovator in intelligent power management, has developed a groundbreaking solution that addresses this issue head-on.
In collaboration with ChargeLab, a North American leader in open EV charger management software, Eaton has introduced an automated and dynamic load management approach. This innovative system safely maximizes the charging capabilities of existing electrical infrastructure, eliminating the need for extensive and expensive upgrades.
BonChip Electronics, a trusted distributor of the entire Eaton product line, is proud to offer this revolutionary technology alongside exceptional sales support, efficient order processing, and convenient delivery options.
Eaton's Charging Network Manager software serves as the cornerstone of this solution. This comprehensive platform provides integrated monitoring, management, and commissioning for EV charging stations and networks. By creating a digital twin of the electrical system, the software facilitates dynamic load management. This intelligent system safely optimizes available electrical capacity, ensuring the fastest possible charging for all connected vehicles.
"The electrification of transportation significantly impacts infrastructure," explains Paul Ryan, General Manager of Connected Solutions and EV Charging at Eaton. "At Eaton, we empower customers to manage their power more effectively and leverage their existing energy infrastructure. We offer comprehensive solutions for charging infrastructure, enabling customers to deploy EV charging networks swiftly and securely, while optimizing existing investments."
Eaton's software offers unique and valuable functionalities:
- Real-time monitoring: Tracks energy consumption at each charging station.
- Dynamic power allocation: Redistributes available power to other networked chargers as needed.
- Three-phase balancing: Ensures balanced energy demand across three-phase power systems.
This innovative approach allows businesses to optimize their existing systems and minimize the need for costly infrastructure upgrades when deploying EV charging infrastructure.
"Software-based load management can significantly increase the number of EV chargers a site can support, sometimes by a factor of ten or more," states Zak Lefevre, CEO of ChargeLab. "This is a game-changer for commercial and fleet EV charging. Eaton's solution is unique in its comprehensiveness, providing a robust end-to-end solution that encompasses both hardware and software."
