Agreement Value:
$45,000.00
Agreement Date:
Oct 16, 2020 - Jul 31, 2021
Description:
Unico Power delivers energy management solutions that are based on internally developed hardware and software. These energy management systems can interface and control various energy supplies and loads in a facility. Our first commercial feature is the management of electric vehicle charging in multi-family residential buildings. This project involves implementing hardware and firmware changes to incorporate the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) into our solution. OCPP is an industry-standard for Electric Vehicle Energy Management Systems and is key to our continued success in this space. The specific project work involved developing a simulated OCCP server in our charging device using an ESP32 microprocessor and new code.
