Sense Unveils Innovative EV Analytics for Smart Charging Solutions in Utilities

In a significant advancement for utility management, Sense has introduced EV Analytics, a groundbreaking load management solution tailored to meet the increasing demand for electric vehicle (EV) monitoring and charging insights. This innovative product, designed to be integrated with AMI 2.0 smart meters, enables utilities to effectively recognize and assess electric vehicle activity on their grids.

Harnessing Edge Computing for Enhanced Performance
The EV Analytics solution leverages state-of-the-art edge computing technology, allowing high-resolution waveform data processing directly at the grid edge. This approach empowers utilities to achieve accurate EV detection and monitoring—offering a level of detail and performance that surpasses traditional methods reliant on cloud data analysis. With embedded artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, Sense provides a thorough understanding of charging events, including detailed metrics on start/stop times and energy consumption measured in kilowatt-hours.

Addressing Challenges Faced by Utilities
Nancy Riley, Senior Vice President of Product at Sense, emphasized the necessity of this technology by stating, "You can't measure what you can't see." The solution specifically targets the challenge of identifying all EVs on a grid, particularly those using Level 1 chargers which often go undetected. This proactive monitoring can significantly enhance utilities' forecasting capabilities and distribution planning, making it easier for them to implement efficient managed charging programs.

Benefits for Utilities
The introduction of EV Analytics provides numerous advantages for utility companies, including:
1. Enhanced Detection and Measurement: By processing data locally, utilities can achieve more precise detection of EV charge events, thereby eliminating the complications associated with traditional telematics or integrations.
2. Scalability and Flexibility: The product supports all types of electric vehicles and chargers without requiring specialized equipment, thus simplifying program enrollment and operational efficiencies.
3. Improvement of Utility Programs: Utilities can reduce costs and boost participation in managed charging initiatives through reliable detection mechanisms built into the EV Analytics solution.

Future Innovations on the Horizon
Sense plans to expand upon this offering with a suite of additional capabilities designed to further empower utilities to act on real-time grid-edge data. The technology is embedded directly into capable AMI 2.0 smart meters, facilitating charge behavior detection across various types of vehicles and chargers. By removing barriers to participation, Sense aims to encourage more customers to engage in utility programs that incentivize responsible EV charging behaviors and bolster grid reliability.

Utilities that utilize the Landis+Gyr Revelo meters can now access the Sense EV Analytics App, allowing for seamless integration into their existing operations. For further information about Sense’s EV solutions or to implement EV Analytics in their systems, utilities interested in exploring these advancements are encouraged to reach out directly to Sense.
