Smart Charging of Forklifts and Electric Vehicles in a Microgrid

E-mobility as a Part of Managed Consumption in a Microgrid

Uncontrolled charging puts pressure on your grid and your budget
Charging electric vehicles and forklifts is becoming a significant part of energy consumption in many operations. When unmanaged, it can cause peak loads and increase costs related to reserved grid capacity. It can also lead to wasted self-generated solar energy. Without intelligent control, charging becomes inefficient and unnecessarily expensive.
FLOWBOX EMOS manages charging based on grid capacity, prices, and energy availability
Dynamic Load Management of Total Charging Power
The system monitors grid load and adjusts charging power to avoid exceeding reserved capacity.
Charging Planned According to SPOT Prices
Charging is scheduled automatically during times of lower electricity prices or when surplus solar power is available.
Priority Charging Based on Operational Needs
You can assign priority to specific vehicles or devices — fully automated based on business priorities.
Precise Energy Cost Allocation
FLOWBOX tracks real-time consumption and price to provide accurate energy billing for each device.
Using Vehicle Batteries as Temporary Storage
Connected batteries can be utilized as temporary storage or flexibility resources within the microgrid.
Charging Based on Solar Generation and Availability
FLOWBOX prioritizes the use of your own solar energy for charging whenever available.

Result: Charging That Supports the Grid and Your Budget

With FLOWBOX EMOS, charging is aligned with grid capacity, price signals, and your own energy production. It helps reduce peak demand, lower costs, and make better use of available energy. What used to be a passive and unpredictable load becomes a managed, flexible part of your microgrid.
