Streamlined EV Charging Infrastructure Monitoring and Management

In response to the increasing demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across India, the deployment of DC Fast chargers has become imperative.

However, ensuring seamless and reliable charging experiences necessitates a robust internet connectivity solution. The reliance on internet connectivity for initiating and stopping charging processes presents a key requirement for the effective operation of these chargers.

Challenges:

EV Fast chargers globally need centralized monitoring for efficient management and maintenance. This system ensures smooth operation and timely intervention for any issues, optimizing charging infrastructure performance.

Their specific requirement involved closely monitoring power consumption at individual locations to effectively manage energy usage, enhance operational efficiency, and promote sustainable resource utilization.

In addition to internet connectivity, camera monitoring is essential for security and operational purposes. Integrated camera systems provide real-time monitoring of charging stations, enhancing security and facilitating remote management.

Topology- Solutions Architecture:

Solutions:

Our solution involves the installation of IA44C Dual SIM 4G gateway with the EV Fast chargers. These devices facilitate connectivity to the internet, forming a reliable link between the chargers and the cloud-based application central monitoring system.

In addition to deploying the IA44C Gateway, we integrated our AC Energy Meter to systematically monitor power consumption at each site. This approach optimizes energy usage, boosts operational efficiency, and fosters sustainable resource management.

IA44C Gateway is Parallelly connected to our NMS (Network Monitoring System) and VPN network which is created using OpenVPN technology providing real-time surveillance and enhancing security at charging stations. This feature enables operators to remotely monitor charging sessions and address any issues promptly.

Benefits:

The solution provided real-time monitoring of power consumption and CCTV feeds, empowering the organizations to promptly address any issues and ensure smooth operations.

By accurately tracking energy consumption and associated costs, the organizations could optimize their operational expenditures and enhance overall cost-efficiency.

The integration of CCTV feeds and VPN network creation enhanced security measures, providing greater peace of mind to the organizations regarding the safety and security of their charging locations.

With centralized monitoring and streamlined data transmission, the organizations could improve operational efficiency and resource allocation, ultimately enhancing the overall performance of their EV charging infrastructure.
