Utilities need to estimate the numbers of EVs in their territories, and project future growth. Massachusetts-based Sense offers a tool to help them do so using smart meters.
Sense’s EV Analytics is a new load management solution delivered through AMI 2.0 meters that offers EV detection and charging insights that can enable smarter forecasting, better distribution planning and more efficient managed charging programs for utilities.
By processing waveform data at the grid edge, EV Analytics detects the presence of EVs and estimates both Level 1 and Level 2 charge events, including start/stop times and energy consumption.
Embedded directly in AMI 2.0 smart meters, Sense enables utilities to detect charging behavior across all vehicles and chargers—without relying on proprietary telematics or cloud-based solutions.
EV Analytics is currently available to utilities using Landis+Gyr Revelo meters through the Sense EV Analytics App.
“You can’t measure what you can’t see, which is where our new EV Analytics solution comes in,” said Nancy Riley, SVP of Product at Sense. “We’ve focused our energy on finding all EVs on a grid, including those ghost EVs that utilities are often blind to because they use Level 1 chargers.”
