OSCP Flexibility Provider
15 January 2023
SolarNetwork has added an Open Smart Charging Protocol 2.0 Flexibility Provider service , to support demand-response forecast signals from electric grid operators. The OSCP Flexibility Provider service allows grid operators to send detailed grid constraint forecasts to SolarNetwork.
These forecasts contain information like:
between 13:00 - 13:15 use no more than 50 kW of total power at grid connection point ABC
The forecasts are turned into datum streams that can be handled through standard SolarNetwork integration methods like SolarFlux and SolarQuery . Distributed energy resources can then be managed appropriately via instructions , such as limiting the charge rates of EV chargers integrated with SolarNetwork via OCPP .
This feature was developed with support from our friends at EVisi.
