SteVe-SC

This project targets an Electric Vehicle "Load Management" use case for OCPP1.6 charging equipment. It combines a LoadManagement module (responsible for setting charge current limits on the connected vehicles) with SteVe, which is a Central System software module for OCPP EV charging. This project is explained further on the wiki

SteVe is developed and maintained by RWTH-Aachen University. More information on the SteVe module may be found in the steve subdirectory.

The LoadManagement module is independently developed by chuck-h and is motivated by serving a small residential multi-charger installation in Seattle, WA, USA.
