Key challenges

Electrification without sufficient grid capacity

Tamoil wanted to further electrify its locations and offer ultra-fast charging, but the existing small grid connection did not provide sufficient capacity.

Constrained grid connection with unpredictable peak loads

The charging stations are publicly available, meaning peak times are unpredictable and the grid connection capacity can be exceeded at any moment.

Three competing battery goals without fixed priority

The battery must simultaneously optimize solar energy, trade on energy prices, and handle charging peaks. These goals are constantly in conflict.

Tamoil

"Managing this much power on a 3x80A connection is no small feat. Zympler makes it work for us.

And with Zympler’s operator portal, we have a clear overview of the entire energy system, so if something goes wrong anywhere in the chain, we can spot it immediately."

Tamoil and Zympler

Ultra-fast charging made possible

Despite the limited grid connection, Tamoil can now offer 400 kW ultra-fast charging. Zympler coordinates the charging stations and battery in real time, making maximum charging capacity available without overloading the grid connection.

Operational continuity comes first

Charging sessions continue uninterrupted, even when demand unexpectedly peaks. Zympler continuously adjusts the system in the background, ensuring operational continuity while customers notice no difference.

Minimize energy costs

While competitors focus purely on peak shaving, Zympler also generates trading revenue from the site, navigating the uncertainties of an unpredictable public charging profile.

Why are Zympler and Tamoil a match?

Tamoil managed a location too complex for standard solutions: public DC chargers, a constrained grid connection, two user profiles, and three competing battery objectives.

Most EMS systems choose one goal and leave the rest behind. Zympler optimizes the entire operation, makes real-time adjustments, and also handles nominations and trading. That makes Zympler not just a technical choice, but a commercial one.
