Abstract
The present application provides a method of controlling an EV charger which is located at a charging site by a controller. The controller provides a charging signal thereto for controlling the EV charger to operate within a threshold power that is allowable at a management site. The method comprising receiving a consumption power reading used in the management site, and controlling a charging power to the EV charger so that the consumption power is less than the maximum consumption power.
Claims15
A method of controlling an EV charger which is disposed at a charging site by a controller providing a charging signal thereto for controlling the EV charger to operate within a maximum consumption power that is allowable at a management site including the charging site, the method comprising:
- receiving a consumption power reading used in the management site, and
- controlling a charging power to the EV charger so that the consumption charging power is less than the maximum consumption power,
- wherein the controller is configured to communicate the charging signal with the EV charger either directly or indirectly using more than one communication scheme in actual time;
- wherein the charging site further comprises
- a first EV charger for communicating with the controller using a first communication scheme directly;
- and
- a second EV charger for communicating with the controller using a second communication scheme indirectly;
- and
- wherein when the consumption power exceeds a threshold power, the controller suppresses the charging power of the first EV charger and the second EV charger.

A method of controlling a consumption power in a management site by a controller, the management site including a charging site and a power consuming site, the controller providing a charging signal for controlling an EV charger to operate within a maximum consumption power that is allowable at the management site,
- the method comprising:
- receiving a consumption power reading used in the management site, and
- controlling a charging power to the EV charger so that the consumption charging power is less than the maximum consuming power,
- wherein the controller is configured to communicate the charging signal with the EV charger either directly or indirectly using more than one communication scheme in actual time;
- wherein the charging site further comprises
- a first EV charger for communicating with the controller using a first communication scheme directly;
- and
- a second EV charger for communicating with the controller using a second communication scheme indirectly;
- and
- wherein when the consumption power exceeds the threshold power, the controller suppresses the charging power of the first EV charger and the second EV charger.
