As electric mobility continues to rise, efficient charging infrastructure is the key to its success. To support CPOs in navigating the decentralized and often complex e-mobility landscape, OCEAN CPMS has integrated with ENAPI, a robust platform, focused on establishing technical framework to enable seamless and efficient communication between systems within the EV charging ecosystem. The main purpose is technical interface standard for communication.
To attract EV drivers and keep them happy, every CPO strives for the best charging station uptime. To ensure public charging stations' reliability, the UK government brought in some regulation changes to the EV charging landscape.
The UK Public Charge Point Regulations, aimed at defining the future of public EV charging, came into effect on November 24 last year. However, certain requirements provided operators with a one-year window to comply. Failure to meet these requirements could result in significant penalties. A year has passed, and we're here to help ensure you're fully prepared for these changes.
Is your grid ready to handle the unpredictable demands of tomorrow? As the energy landscape shifts, the integration of renewable sources like wind and solar is no longer a choice but a necessity. Yet, these sources bring variability, requiring a grid that can adapt in real-time. This is where Head-End Systems (HES) step in, acting as the backbone that supports not only today's grid operations but also the future needs of an increasingly complex energy infrastructure.
The power grid is becoming increasingly complex due to the integration of municipal utilities, renewable energy resources, new substations and millions of smart grid edges like smart meters and EV-charging stations. The majority of this electric infrastructure is located far away from the central control room. Therefore, control is increasingly carried out digitally via remote access. To secure these peripheral systems, distribution and transmission system operators often rely exclusively on firewalls. These might reliably detect known malware. However, with several hundred of thousands of new malware variants each day, cybersecurity limited to identifying known signatures becomes highly unreliable.
How much of this US$3.1 trillion is yours?
The whopping figure covers energy companies’ investments in grid expansions between now and 2030. Part of the costs will likely fall to energy companies and their customers.
Flexibility is key to lowering that number – and your contribution toward it.
The ultimate wish of every Charge Point Operator (CPO) is to maximize the utilization of their charging stations. Simply put, the goal is to have more people using your charging stations.
