The Challenge
The original electric grid is not able to supply enough power for fast charging. Normally a way to solve this issue is to upgrade the grid to get more power, but it will cost a lot for the general customers. Given that upgrading the grid is not a feasible option for everyday customers, coming up with a more cost-efficient solution becomes a high priority of our client.
The Requirement
Solar power system is prevailing in European households. Our client needs to build a smart electric system at end-users’ house. The system has to be able to automatically alter solar power into electricity system, detect the power capacity of solar panel and communicate with the cloud system. It is a power controller and monitor so that customers can better understand their power consumption and manage it in real-time.
DFI Solution
We installed DFI’s compact embedded computer in an electric cabinet as the controller. It can transfer electric meter numbers to the cloud server via WiFi, reporting real-time power usage data and switching power resource. While user is charging their car, the computer will switch solar power in to charging power supply and make it charge faster. This makes the car charging more eco-friendly and time-saving. Besides, customer can also see the report and make electric monitor setting on the cloud system. The EC800 functions well in extreme environment (0~60 Celsius or -20~70 Celsius), and with DFI’s manufacturing technology, its average MTBF is over 100 thousand hours. These features make sure the machine is working 24/7, and requires minimum maintenance. EC800 has passed a special machine protocol test from Delft University of Technology. That is the reason why our client chooses it as the top choice of controller in smart charging system. According to end-customers' testimonial, this solution has successfully shortened charging time up to 50%.
DFI Has Launched Latest Exquisite Compact IPC. More Powerful and Better Mechanical Design!
