3.1 General statement
Purpose of the load management software
Cost-effective allocation of the available or allowed capacity (e.g. charging at night with low rates)
Load balancing
Optimized power distribution over several vehicles
Support for different communication protocols (low level IEC 61851-1, high-level ISO 15118)
Schematic overview (load management)
Fleet solution
The KeContact M10 is the server for a group of Charging stations (KeContact P20 Wallboxes) with a com-
mon power line. KeContact M10 is the logical Charge Point.
After a power failure or the loss of the communication connection, an automatic restart is performed. After-
wards the running charging sessions are resumed.
Plug & Charge with ISO 15118
The ISO 15118 protocol allows an intelligent charging of an Electric Vehicle. The charging station informs the
vehicle when and at which price a certain energy amount is available. This data, the current battery level and
the programmed finishing time is the basis for the vehicle to determine a cost optimized charging procedure.
Basis functionality for charging
Vehicles that offer only a functionality for charging according IEC 61851-1 are also supported. The authoriza-
tion for charging can be carried out with a chip card (RFID).
