Smart charging sounds simple, but in practice it quickly becomes complex. That’s why Connectr is organizing a compact yet comprehensive deep-dive training on smart charging. In one day, you will explore the subject in depth: technically, operationally, economically, and strategically.

Under the guidance of Lennart Verheijen (Krachtwerk), you will work step by step on your own smart-charging solution. Throughout the day, this solution will be continuously refined based on practical experience, market developments, and technical constraints. The result is a robust, practical, and future-proof approach that you can immediately apply within your own organization or projects.

Training Content

You will gain insight into how smart-charging algorithms work in practice and where the technical limits lie. We cover the trade-offs between local intelligence and cloud control, the impact of communication failures, and the differences between AC and DC charging.

In addition, we discuss common operational challenges in smart charging, how to prevent them, and how to deal with limitations of vehicles and installations. User interaction is also addressed: which decisions should be left to the user, and which should not?

The broader ecosystem is covered in depth, including the roles of different market participants, data exchange, engaging EV drivers without adding complexity, and the implications of developments such as dynamic charging tariffs, V2G, and Plug & Charge. Finally, we dive into the business case: revenue models for CPOs, EMSPs, and SCSPs, differences between home, workplace, and public charging, opportunities and risks in energy markets, and optimizing (dynamic) grid connections.
