Orderly charging of State Grid e-charging
The orderly charging function of the State Grid e-Charging platform is designed as an intelligent charging solution to address the growing demand for electric vehicle charging. This function helps users reduce electricity costs, alleviate pressure on the distribution network, and achieve intelligent scheduling through the rational scheduling of charging times and power.
▶ Reducing Electricity Costs
One significant advantage of orderly charging is its ability to substantially lower users’ charging expenses. By selecting off-peak hours for charging in the “e-Charging” app, users can enjoy lower electricity rates. For example, users can set their charging to start at 11 PM, when electricity costs are typically lower than during peak hours. Research indicates that by adopting orderly charging strategies, users can reduce their charging costs during peak times by 21.17%. This model not only saves money for car owners but also encourages more users to charge during off-peak hours, thereby improving overall electricity economy.
▶ Alleviating Distribution Network Pressure
As the number of new energy vehicles rapidly increases, the distribution network faces significant load pressure. Disorderly charging behavior can lead to “peak-on-peak” situations, increasing operational risks for the distribution network. In contrast, orderly charging effectively disperses the charging load across different time periods through intelligent scheduling and load forecasting, thereby reducing peak load pressure. Specifically, orderly charging can shift concentrated charging behaviors that would typically occur during peak periods to times with lower electricity demand, which not only alleviates pressure on the distribution network but also enhances its operational safety and economic efficiency.
▶ Intelligent Scheduling
The State Grid e-Charging platform employs advanced load forecasting algorithms to achieve intelligent scheduling of user charging behaviors. This system can automatically adjust charging strategies based on real-time data (such as weather, travel conditions, and historical electricity usage patterns), optimizing each vehicle’s charging time and power. Users only need to set their desired charging completion time in the app, and the system will initiate charging at an appropriate time without requiring significant user intervention.
In summary, the orderly charging function of the State Grid e-Charging platform provides essential support for promoting the development of new energy vehicles by reducing user costs, alleviating pressure on the distribution network, and achieving intelligent scheduling. This model not only enhances user experience but also lays a foundation for sustainable energy management. Using Shenzhen Huizhi Technology’s State Grid protocol gateway allows for easy integration with the State Grid e-Charging platform.
