Evoke Systems Develops Open APIs for Managed EV Charging

Evoke Systems announces the development of open and innovative APIs to facilitate managed electric vehicle charging

The open API framework, Power Broker, attains real-time insights about the EV charging impact on the local electric distribution systems and helps dial down EV charging when required.

Ingenious APIs for Productive EV Charging

Evoke Systems partners with Argonne National Laboratory for a recently announced research project. The project is to develop and launch a set of futuristic Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), known as Power Broker, to manage electric vehicle (EV) charging. 

Argonne National Laboratory seeks impactful solutions for urgent problems in science and technology. EV charging and peak power demand is a rising problem that the laboratory resolves with Evoke Systems. 

Evoke Systems is an EV company offering open and scalable cloud-based platforms for EV charging and energy management. As the company establishes coordination in communication between site hosts, EV charging stations, EV drivers, and grid operators, they are working on mitigating the impact of EV charging growth on the local energy demand through this project. The Power Broker API conveys financial transactions and energy information exchanges, utilizing the concept of energy services contracts. 

Power Broker, moreover, provides real-time pricing adjustments to encourage charge station operators and drivers, helping them reduce demand during unforeseen grid events and conditions. Consequently, the dialing down of EV charging increases the reliability and resiliency of the grids. 

Raymond Kaiser, CIO at Evoke, said, ”Although our focus is on EV charging, grid operators will be enabled to release flexible DER resources for utility planning and operations, across a specific territory or distribution area, through the coordination and control services.

Managing EV charging in real-time significantly benefits the local electricity grids and power demand. As certain locations, time, and growing commercial EV fleets hamper the ability of the grid to meet the peak demand; controlled EV charging is required to avoid crossing safety limits or deterioration of power quality.
