The Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) is an application protocol for communication between EV Charging Points (CP) and Central System (CS), also known as a charging station network.
The driver is designed to enable communication between an electric vehicle charging point and Tridium Niagara system operating as a Central System. It provides an integrated solution for building management systems and electric vehicle infrastructure. Driver can be used to implement a demand response and load balancing for any CP that implement OCPP Smart Charging profile.
Local Controller Feature
The Local Controller feature in EV charging systems serves as a bridge between individual charging stations and a cloud-based management system. Its primary functions include:
- Direct Connection to Chargers:
- Connects directly to local EV chargers.
- Allows for real-time management and control of charging operations at each station.
- Smart Management:
- Enables the local adjustment of charging scheduling, and power distribution.
- Adjustments are based on immediate demands and conditions at each charger.
- Data Synchronization with Cloud CMS:
- Simultaneously sends data from local operations to a cloud-based Central Management System (CMS).
- Ensures integration of information like energy consumption, charging patterns, and operational status into the broader network management system.
In essence, the Local Controller feature allows for efficient, on-the-ground operation of charging stations while maintaining a connection to centralized, cloud-based oversight and data analysis.
