PowerFlex Completes EV Charging System for Buck Institute for Research on Aging

PowerFlex an EDF Renewables Company completed the installation of 49 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations for the Buck Institute for Research on Aging. The EV chargers provide Buck employees with a reliable way to secure a fully charged battery during the workday with a sustainable source of energy from the onsite solar system.

The EV charging system uses PowerFlex’s Adaptive Load Management (ALM) technology. This patented technology, developed out of Caltech, maximizes the delivery of power to electric vehicles while reducing or eliminating the need for costly utility upgrades by managing charging dependent upon driver’s demand, building load, and onsite generation. The PowerFlex ALM enables the site to more than double the number of charging ports compared to a typical circuit-sharing method.

The smart EV charging platform is designed to flatten charging consumption and shift the consumption into the middle of the day to align with solar production. The integrated system is tailored to the facility’s energy characteristics, turning the solar carport and EV charging stations into a sustainable clean energy asset that reduces operational energy costs with no up-front capital costs.

According to Max Wilcox, Business Development Manager for PowerFlex, “It takes an innovative client like the Buck to push the boundaries of scalability and power management to build for the future of electric vehicles. We are pleased to build upon our relationship to help Buck meet their energy and EV charging needs in a sustainable way.”
