METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING POWER DEMAND OF A PLURALITY OF CHARGING STATIONS SHARING THE SAME PORTION OF AN ELECTRICAL NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for managing power demand of a plurality of charging stations sharing a same portion of an electrical network, the method comprising:
- obtaining an indication of a maximum value of power demand allowed at the portion of the electrical network;
obtaining an indication of a current power consumed at the portion of the electrical network;
managing a charging configuration of the plurality of charging stations to ensure that the current power consumed at the portion of the electrical network stays lower than the maximum value of power demand allowed.
