Solution for Charging Point Management

Tailored but cost-effective – this is the core attribute of the WAGO Application Load Management software solution. It allows intelligent, sustainable EV charging with continuous power adjustment and utilization of all available capacity. It also boasts maximum scalability and compatibility with standard wallboxes and charging stations from many manufacturers. One compelling feature is that a cloud connection, though possible, is not essential. Licensing is a one-time cost, and the application’s technical flexibility and technological interoperability support easy, cost-effective, sustainable integration into existing charging infrastructure. Thus, WAGO Application Load Management allows renewable energy systems to incorporate additional loads and storage systems and use existing grid connections optimally.

Charging in Compliance with § 14a EnWG

Future-Proof Solution for Charging Parks: § 14a EnWG in Practice

Since the beginning of the year, § 14a of the Energy Industry Act (EnWG) has been in effect, providing grid operators with a tool to reduce output in case of network overload threats. While the supply of household electricity remains unaffected by this regulation, the use of energy-intensive systems such as heat pumps, energy storage units, air conditioning systems or wallboxes may temporarily be limited to 4.2 kW. This throttling has a direct impact on charging park management, requiring operators to implement necessary measures.

Power Reduction through Throttled Charging

WAGO Application Load Management enables charging park management in compliance with Section 14a EnWG. The system dynamically adjusts to available power while maintaining remote control over charging stations, making it an ideal solution for managing charging points during grid power reductions. Charging capacities can be prioritized and strategically allocated to ensure critical charging needs are met. This is achieved through power specifications ranging from 0 to 100% via Modbus^®, eight configurable digital inputs, and future integration with EEBus.

Centralized control of all charging points: Regardless of the charging infrastructure, WAGO Application Load Management ensures uniform and efficient management. Even in mixed charging park environments, it enables seamless centralized control. WAGO Application Load Management seamlessly integrates with and controls products from various manufacturers.

Direct Connection to the Grid Operator

WAGO Application Load Management facilitates a direct connection to the grid operator using a comprehensive plug-and-play solution via a customer transfer station (KÜS). This standard setup enhances communication and data exchange between charging points and the grid operator, optimizing monitoring and control for operators.

For those aiming to be independent of § 14a EnWG, integrating PV and battery storage systems offers sustainable alternatives for future charging management.
