A major player in the EVSE market has kindly consented to provide some technical training for the electrical installation tutors at a training centre where I often tutor part-time. I imagine it is not entirely motivated by altruistic considerations but at least it gives an opportunity for the tutors and myself to get some kind of grasp on the various products on offer and where this particular manufacturer sees the direction of travel for EVSE. I am already aware that the company is moving away from products that rely on the installation of earth electrodes in PME situations and are placing considerable focus on load management. Is there any particular question that you would ask them given the opportunity?
Demand management could be done as simply as by allowing the mains frequency to droop at times of overload, and raising tarrifs on that basis, and having a little detector in things like water and storage heaters that detect this and give the user an option to load shed and save some money. No big central computer or complex and easily compromised network required - that would be the 1960s solution.
