Empowering Smart Upgrades of Charging Infrastructure with a Cloud-Pipe-Edge-Device End-to-End Solution

With the rapid increase in the popularity of new energy vehicles, efficient operation, safety, reliability, and intelligent management of charging facilities have become core industry demands. Acrel Co., LTD leveraging years of energy management technology accumulation, has launched a comprehensive solution covering charging pile products across all power ranges and an intelligent management platform. This solution empowers the entire charging-management-optimization chain from equipment to system, adapting to diverse scenarios such as commercial, community, highway, and industrial park environments.

Understanding Industry Pain Points and Providing Full-Scenario Solutions

Currently, charging pile operation generally faces problems such as high maintenance costs, uneven equipment utilization, complex payment methods, and difficulty in timely detection of safety risks. Addressing these pain points, Acrel does not merely provide single charging pile products, but rather builds a full-chain ecosystem covering "cloud-pipe-edge-device."

Device: Diverse Charging Terminals

Acrel offers a series of products including AC charging piles and DC charging piles, meeting the needs of different scenarios from slow charging to fast charging, from communities to supermarkets, and from industrial parks to highway service areas. Acrel's charging pile products feature high protection levels, high conversion efficiency, and high reliability.

Edge: Intelligent and Reliable Edge Gateway

Acrel's charging pile communication gateway acts as the "local brain." It not only enables cluster management and data collection of charging piles but also performs tasks such as electricity cost calculation and orderly charging strategy execution at the edge, ensuring stable system operation even under extreme conditions such as network outages.

Pipe: Efficient and Stable Data Transmission

Through multiple communication methods, including wired and wireless, Acrel's solution ensures the stability and security of the data link between charging piles, gateways, and the cloud platform, laying a solid foundation for real-time monitoring and remote control.

Cloud: Intelligent and Powerful Management Platform

Acrel's electric bicycle/car charging pile operation management platform is the "intelligent hub" of the entire solution. The platform integrates functions such as online payment, equipment monitoring, revenue analysis, fault early warning, and energy consumption statistics, providing operators with a visualized management tool that significantly improves operational efficiency and user experience.

Technical Highlights: Balancing Safety and Energy Efficiency Management

Acrel deeply integrates its core technological advantages in power monitoring and energy efficiency management into its charging pile solutions:

1. Comprehensive Safety Protection: The system features multiple safety mechanisms, including leakage protection, overload protection, overvoltage/undervoltage protection, and automatic power-off in case of charging abnormalities. It also monitors electrical parameters in real-time through a cloud platform, preventing potential hazards.

2. Refined Energy Efficiency Analysis: The platform can accurately statistically analyze the electricity consumption, charging time, and revenue of each charging pile, helping operators optimize pricing strategies and improve ROI.

3. Orderly Charging and Load Management: For scenarios with limited power capacity, such as residential communities, Acrel's solution enables intelligent scheduling of charging loads, avoiding impacts on the regional power grid and facilitating peak shaving and valley filling.

Market Applications and Future Outlook

Currently, Acrel's charging pile solutions have been successfully applied in numerous residential communities, commercial complexes, industrial parks, and public parking lots, winning widespread recognition from operators and users. Whether solving the safety management challenges of electric bicycle charging for property management companies or providing charging services for new energy vehicles in commercial real estate, Acrel can offer customized professional services.

Looking ahead, Acrel stated that it will continue to increase its R&D investment in charging infrastructure, actively explore the integration with cutting-edge technologies such as V2G (vehicle-to-grid), photovoltaic-storage-charging integration, and virtual power plants, and is committed to promoting the coordinated development of the new energy vehicle industry and new power systems through smarter and more efficient solutions, contributing Acrel's wisdom and strength to achieving the "dual-carbon" goal.
