Every charge point gets its own limit

The plan only matters once it reaches the chargers. RiDERgy turns it into one limit per charge point, sends it automatically and replaces it with a new one every 15 minutes, always in the same order of priority.

From plan to charger

How a limit reaches a charge point

  1. 01

    Plan

    The plan decides which vehicle charges, how fast and when, against every fuse, price and departure.

  2. 02

    One limit per charge point

    The plan is split into a power limit for each charge point, so no fuse in the tree is exceeded.

  3. 03

    Send

    The limits are sent to the chargers automatically, with nothing to confirm by hand.

  4. 04

    Check and repeat

    Meter readings show what really happened, and the next plan starts from them.

The order of priority

Safety first, availability second, cost third

When the rules pull against each other, the first one wins.

  1. 01

    Safety

    No fuse is exceeded, on the grid connection or on any strand below it.

  2. 02

    Availability

    Every vehicle is ready at its departure time with the energy it needs.

  3. 03

    Cost

    Within the first two, charging moves to the cheapest quarter hours and keeps new peaks down.

How limits are sent

Through the systems you already run

No new hardware is the starting point. Which path is used depends on your setup.

OCPP

Limits are sent to the charger over OCPP.

Charger vendor cloud API

Where the charger vendor offers one, limits go through its cloud API.

Your charge point management system

Limits go through the system that already runs your chargers, connected as a service partner.

When something goes wrong

A lost signal never trips a fuse

  • If a reading or a link is lost, charging carries on at a reduced limit until it comes back.
  • Chargers keep the limit stored on the charger itself if new limits stop arriving.
  • RiDERgy reads first and steers only after that, so control starts when the picture is complete.

Questions about control

Who decides when a vehicle charges?

The plan does, from your fuses, the tariff and the departure times. You set the targets, for example when a vehicle must be ready.

What if a vehicle needs to leave early?

A new departure time is picked up by the next plan, which is recalculated every 15 minutes.

Do I need to change my chargers?

No specific charger brand is needed. Limits go over OCPP, through the charger vendor's cloud API or through your charge point management system.
