EV charge point management firm Fuuse has launched a new range of energy products to balance energy supply and overall grid demand.
The suite of energy products aims to the complementing the core Fuuse charge point management platform, allowing businesses to effectively monitor and manage their EV charging infrastructure, both before and after installation.
The launch of the products comes 10 months after the firm acquired energy management consultancy Envisij, from which the latest tools have been developed.
Products
Tools launched include the Fuuse EnergyMap, which offers a comprehensive audit of energy usage to inform infrastructure decisions. Using half-hourly metered consumption data, businesses can understand site baseline demand and the forecasted impact of EV charging.
Also released was Fuuse Energy Monitoring, a cloud-based enterprise monitoring solution with options to observe real-time energy usage across a site. When integrated with the Fuuse core platform, it enables the deployment of Fuuse’s Multi Level Dynamic Load Balancing to protect sites from capacity spikes and prevent contracted capacity tariff penalties – while maximising power to EV chargers as needed.
Islington
Early users of the new products include the London Borough of Islington, which was electrifying its fleet of vehicles and needed chargers across multiple sites. Fuuse EnergyMap was used to provide the local authority with the insights to show how they can best optimise their contracted capacity, for a more efficient infrastructure plan, and make significant savings on contracted capacity costs.
Gary Highton, Fuuse Head of Energy, said: “FuuseEnergy is a set of energy solutions for EV charging sites. It provides the link between your EVs, buildings and the energy grid. With increasingly limited electrical capacity in local and on-site grids, there is a greater need to optimise how energy is used.
“As EV adoption accelerates, we have released a unique arsenal of tools to help inform site infrastructure and provide more control over how energy is distributed across your sites. We’re enabling organisations to plan, monitor and react to energy consumption and demand.”
Tom Arapura, Head of Product Strategy at Fuuse, said: “We’re putting control back in the hands of organisations when it comes to the ‘how’ and ‘when’ of energy usage at their sites. We want customers to transition positively and efficiently, with the information they need to ensure they are not blindsided by any unexpected costs or unconsidered energy constraints.”
