What is DNO Control?
As EV charging demand rises, CPOs face stricter regulations, especially in Germany under §14a of the Energy Industry Act (EnWG). This law requires integrating EV chargers into the grid to manage demand and prevent overloads. Our DNO Control feature simplifies compliance, enabling seamless integration with Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) across different regions. It ensures your charging infrastructure meets all grid connection rules, helping you avoid delays and optimize operations for grid stability. With DNO Control, CPOs can easily stay compliant and efficient, keeping pace with evolving regulations.
Why DNO Control matters?
Implementing the DNO Control feature offers significant advantages for Charge Point Operators:
Ensure Regulatory Compliance
Stay ahead of evolving regulations like Germany’s §14a EnWG by integrating seamlessly with DNOs. DNO Control ensures your EV chargers meet all local grid requirements, safeguarding your operations from non-compliance risks.
Prevent Costly Rollout Delays
With over 850 DNOs setting their own grid connection rules, compliance can be complex. DNO Control simplifies this process, enabling you to avoid costly delays during the installation and rollout of charging stations.
Optimize Grid Stability
The DNO Control feature allows for real-time load management, giving grid operators the ability to adjust power consumption during peak times. This helps maintain grid stability, preventing overloads, and ensuring reliable charging for your customers.
How DNO Control Works
The DNO Control feature leverages our Gateway Connect technology to ensure seamless communication between your EV charging infrastructure and Distribution Network Operators (DNOs). Here’s how it works:
Gateway Integration
The Gateway Connect device is installed at your charging site, providing a secure and reliable interface for DNOs to manage load limits. This device supports multiple communication protocols, such as DNP3, IEC 61850, and Modbus, ensuring compatibility with various DNO setups.
Real-Time Load Management
During periods of high grid demand, DNOs can remotely adjust the power consumption of your EV chargers to prevent grid overloads. The Gateway Connect receives commands from the DNO and dynamically reduces the power drawn from your chargers, ensuring continued operation without risking grid stability
Automatic Compliance
The DNO Control feature automatically adapts to the specific requirements of each DNO, ensuring that your operations remain compliant with all regional grid regulations. This reduces the complexity of managing different technical standards across multiple sites.
Effortless Scaling
Whether you’re managing a single site or a network of charging stations, DNO Control scales effortlessly, allowing you to maintain consistent, compliant operations as you expand.
