Frequently asked questions

What types of reports does mysimulator.uk provide regarding cost, peak demand, system readiness, and health metrics?

Reports on cost, peaks, readiness, and health.

How can I connect my system to OCPP/telematics and integrate route schedules while defining operational constraints?

mysimulator.uk allows you to connect to OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) for telematics data and integrate route scheduling functionalities, enabling you to define specific constraints on your operations.

Can I deploy advisory optimization strategies within the simulator and validate system readiness alongside peak demand predictions?

You can utilize the simulator's advisory optimization tools to test different scenarios, ensuring that your system is prepared for anticipated peaks in demand while validating overall readiness through simulated conditions.

How can I enable automated dispatching with safety measures, specifically piloting Direct Response (DR) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capabilities?

mysimulator.uk facilitates automated dispatching by incorporating safeguards to prevent overloads or imbalances; this allows you to pilot Direct Response and Vehicle-to-Grid scenarios for testing and optimization.
