Grid Requirement tackled
Challenge: Addressing grid congestion and instability by managing the demand from EV charging infrastructure through proactive collaboration between DSOs and CPOs.
Grid Requirement Tackled:
- Data Integration Platform: Established a comprehensive data platform integrating EV charging demand with grid capacity, utilizing smart algorithms for peak load management.
- Secure Communication: Enabled secure, trusted exchanges between DSOs and CPOs for real-time congestion management, leveraging secure & interoperable communication protocols.
- Demand Curve Flattening: Implemented strategies for demand response, distributing EV charging loads more evenly across the grid.
Approach & solution
Approach: Employed a combination of Intertrust’s secure data orchestration and INGA’s intelligent grid applications to facilitate a seamless, efficient dialogue  between grid operators and charging service providers, underpinned by smart charging techniques.
Solutions:
