Kitu Systems, a provider of solutions for EV charging and Distributed Energy Resource (DER) management, has launched a new EV charge management software product. Expedition CMS is designed to provide user-friendly web-based and mobile applications for both site owners and vehicle drivers.
Expedition CMS supports a complete range of charging solutions, from Level 2 residential and workplace chargers to high-power DC fast chargers. It is a flexible software-as-a-service platform that supports connectivity, site management, access control, payment systems and load management.
The platform is designed to be highly interoperable—it can integrate with EVSE from a wide range of manufacturers, and supports multiple standard interfaces to both charging stations and utility management systems, including OCPP, IEEE 2030.5, ISO 15117, OpenADR 2.0b and more. It can also combine charge management with California Smart Inverter Profile (CSIP) control of other DERs.
Expedition CMS is currently engaged in North American utility-led pilot programs and commercial deployments encompassing hardware, software, user apps, payment processing, Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credit management and technical support.
“Kitu has always been a leader in grid-edge solutions,” said Tom Barbour, Chief Commercial Officer. “In addition to continuing to serve basic public and private charging needs, Kitu’s Grid Action Platform Expedition CMS module is purpose-built to help solve complex grid-related needs related to EVs, including constraints on distribution, demand response, battery attachment, time-of-use charging, incentive processing and more.”
