Driving Change: Using EMS for Efficient EV Charging Infrastructure

Движеща сила на промяната: Използване на EMS за ефективна EV зарядна инфраструктура

Elisaveta Taskova |

Electric vehicles (EVs) are a key element in the global effort to reduce carbon emissions. As they become more widely available, they are starting to see tangible improvements in air quality. Currently, EV electricity demand is only about 1% of global consumption (about 130 TWh), but this percentage is growing. It is expected that by 2025, the US will need nearly 700,000 Level 2 and 70,000 Level 3 charging stations to meet the needs of the estimated 7.8 million electric vehicles . And by 2030, EV charging infrastructure could require up to 860 TWh of electricity , equivalent to 2% of global consumption .


Integration of affordable EV charging infrastructure

EMS and intelligent charging management

Integrating an accessible EV charging infrastructure, managed by Energy Management Systems (EMS) and connected to power quality monitoring systems, is a strategic move. This improves:

  • Operational efficiency
  • Energy sustainability
  • Cost efficiency

EMS provides better workload management , cost reduction, and increased business resilience.


EV charging infrastructure as a business advantage

How do EV charging stations help businesses?

For customers

Access to EV charging stations is now a factor in choosing retail locations. This increases customer satisfaction and establishes the business as environmentally responsible .

For employees

Having charging stations in offices is a convenience and demonstrates a commitment to sustainable practices.

For transport and logistics companies

Electric vehicles in corporate fleets require reliable charging solutions. EMS ensures continuity of operations by optimizing vehicle charging.


Smart grids and smart EV charging infrastructure

Electrical capacity assessment

Integrating EV charging infrastructure requires a clear understanding of the available electrical capacity . Electrical metering systems can help to:

  • Optimal resource allocation
  • Avoiding expensive network upgrades
  • Faster deployment of charging stations

If the existing infrastructure does not have sufficient capacity, EMS allows for better planning of possible expansions.


Smart charging with EMS

More than just energy consumption

EMS not only provides consumption information, but also detects power quality problems , such as:

  • Harmonicas
  • Voltage dips
  • Power supply anomalies

This prevents premature wear and tear on chargers. EMS can also monitor the environmental footprint of a facility by showing:

  • The origin of electricity (renewable sources vs. traditional networks)
  • The contribution of EV charging stations to peak electricity charges
  • Compliance with regulatory requirements (e.g. NEVI – 97% uptime of charging stations)

Direction towards the future of eMobility

Intelligent Energy Management Systems (EMS) and power quality monitoring are a necessity for the sustainable development of eMobility. They provide:

  • Optimal use of electricity
  • Power supply reliability
  • Integration of renewable sources
  • Future-ready for the growing demand for EV charging

Investing in EMS and smart charging management not only solves current challenges, but also prepares businesses for a more sustainable future .
