EVoke Systems, a software-driven Charge Network Operator, announces the commercial release of its Energy Services Exchange (ESX) platform with the integration of OpenADR 3. ESX provides dynamic, real-time electric vehicle (EV) load management solutions. It enables seamless communication between EV charging infrastructure, distributed energy resources (DER), and grid operators.
EVoke ESX Load Management
As EV adoption accelerates, utilities and grid operators face growing challenges in balancing increasing electric demand while ensuring reliable energy distribution.
ESX, now powered by OpenADR 3, delivers an open, standardized approach to EV charging flexibility. It allows stakeholders to manage and optimize charging loads across diverse charging environments, including multi-unit dwellings (MUDs), commercial sites, and public charging hubs.
Additionally, ESX enables seamless coordination with other DERs, such as energy storage systems and solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, to maximize grid efficiency and resilience.
ESX is currently deployed as a proof-of-concept in Con Edison’s service territory, where EVoke Systems manages over 2,500 charging stations. Through OpenADR 3 integration, ESX expands its ability to coordinate EV load and DERs across third-party aggregators, charge networks, and station operators, providing a scalable, real-time solution for smart energy management nationwide.
The ESX platform, developed in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory, is designed to support end-to-end EV load flexibility. OpenADR 3 ensures reliable and secure bi-directional communication between energy providers, EV charging stations, and other DERs, facilitating efficient load shifting, peak demand mitigation, and shared energy savings for all stakeholders.
With ESX’s OpenADR 3 integration, utilities and grid operators can:
- Aggregate and optimize EV load management and DER coordination at the local network level with 15-minute interval data updates.
- Seamlessly communicate demand response and price signals to EV chargers, energy storage systems, and solar PV assets, ensuring intelligent energy management.
- Enhance resilience by enabling automated responses to grid events, improving overall system stability and energy security.
Generate customer savings by passing through incentives to drivers, Charge Station Operators, and DER owners who participate in demand flexibility programs.
