EQUANS and City of Rotterdam
Rotterdam
SMATCH, ENGIE's smart charging solution for electric vehicles (EV), is currently being deployed by EQUANS as part of a large EV charging concession from the City of Rotterdam. SMATCH is steering the charge in order to manage electrical network imbalance without impacting the EV user. More than 1000 chargers are implementing SMATCH in Rotterdam to date, with a total of 10.000 to be deployed later this year. With SMATCH, a better equilibrium is continuously ensured between electricity production and consumption, allowing a better use of intermittent renewable assets and reducing the need to activate more CO2-emitting production means.
First results show that overall charging power can be rapidly and intermittently reduced by 1MW on average for 1000 chargers at relevant moments, which avoids activating electricity production assets with bad CO2 performance.
As electric mobility is on the rise, parking lots and public streets are increasingly equipped with charging infrastructures. Additional energy and power needs may become critical if not properly managed. SMATCH by ENGIE handles EV charging so to avoid electrical reinforcement while delivering the optimal charging experience to each EV driver. SMATCH manages the charging speed of each car so that the physical constraints and site-specific priority rules are respected, and each user’s needs are taken in consideration. In addition, SMATCH is capable to respond to specific needs of the grid operators by raising/reducing the charging speed, or even injecting energy on the grid (also called “V2G”) so to keep the equilibrium between consumption and production, with invisible impact on the driver's charging comfort.
