Native App for charge control of electric vehicles
Project duration: 8 months
Brief description
A company in the energy sector is developing a new service product to optimize the charging processes of electric vehicles. PTA creates a mobile app that is distributed as part of this service product. This app serves as an input mask for the necessary information to control the customer charging station and enables the customer to select different charging modes. The customer can view the current charging capacity and range of his electric car at any time. The app supports self-consumption-optimised charging of the electric car and informs the customer about all actions regarding his charging station via push notification.
Supplement
The app is based on the Ionic Framework and communicates with the underlying applications via Azure App Services implemented by PTA. The customer master data is taken from the Dynamics CRM 2016 system built by PTA. The IoT measurement data of the charging stations is received by an Azure App Service developed by PTA and processed in the CRM system so that it can be displayed to the customer later in the app. The main function of the app is to configure, start and stop loading processes. For this purpose, the app backend communicates with an optimization core hosted in Azure, which plans optimized loading schedules taking into account the input parameters, the customer data from the CRM and the weather forecast data and sends them to the loading stations. In addition, the app is informed via push messages about changes such as the end of a charging process.
Subject description
With the App, the end customer always has his charging station under control. He can easily determine when his electric car should be fully charged. Taking into account the weather forecast, the intelligent energy management system calculates the self-consumption-optimised charging process and controls the charging station accordingly. If the customer's photovoltaic system and battery storage system cannot provide sufficient solar power, the car is automatically charged with electricity from the grid. This guarantees that the desired charging status is reached at the time of departure. Only with renewable energy can an electric car really drive sustainably. The intelligent charging control makes it possible to use the self-produced solar power of the photovoltaic system for cost-optimised charging of the electric car. This maximises the solar household's own consumption. A battery storage system additionally increases the own consumption by temporarily storing the electricity that is not immediately needed.
