50five and ALLSAFE operate fast chargers at over 50 locations with limited grid connections. Batteries support charging, but largely sit idle outside peak hours while they could be generating value in electricity markets.
Key challenges
The client was dealing with multiple systems, each optimizing its own objective. A trader managing the battery without an FMS, an EMS monitoring the connection. No one had an overall view.
No connectable Fleet Management System or Transport Management System was available. Nevertheless, vehicles needed to be charged reliably and on time, with varying priorities per charging station or vehicle.
The client wanted to benefit from favorable electricity prices and ERE trading, but not at the expense of operations. The battery needed to be deployed smartly without ever compromising charging reliability.
"As soon as you add a battery and also want to trade on the energy market, you suddenly have three parties all wanting different things from the same connection. Zympler is the only one that sees this as a single, integrated whole."
Why are Zympler and 50five & ALLSAFE a good match?
Zympler ensures that the batteries of 50five & ALLSAFE not only relieve the grid but also actively generate daily revenue, without ever jeopardizing a single charging session.
This makes Zympler not an infrastructure cost, but a direct contributor to the business model of 50five & ALLSAFE.
