Wevolt LMS site/charger onboarding guide

This guide provides the steps needed to configure load management for a site in Wevolt LMS. It covers site capacities, meter integration, charger and connector settings, phase assignments, and status monitoring, helping users streamline setup and optimize EV energy distribution.



Tip:  Site & Charger Configurations Used in this Guide

  • Site:

    • Grid Supply: 1200 A / 3-phase

    • Meters: 1 meter, same configuration as site

    • Groups: 1 group with a limit of 200 A / phase

  • Chargers:

    • 4 AC chargers

    • Each charger has 2 ports, 3-phase


1. Before starting, ensure your chargers are configured in Wevolt Hub

Login

2. 1. Sign in to Wevolt's LMS Hub by entering your Email and Password and the click Login button.



Site

3. 2. Navigate to Sites from sidebase menu.



4. 3. Click on Add New Site button.



5. 4. Enter the Site name.



6. 5. Enter the site's address. This input supports google maps api so you can select your address from list.



7. 6. Select the phase type for the site



8. 7. Enter maximum capacity per phase(Grid supply) of the site. The maximum power capacity available from the utility grid to the site. It defines the upper limit of how much electricity the site can draw at any given time.




9. 8. Enter the safe capacity per phase (fallback capacity) of the site. A reserved safe capacity used when grid data or meter readings are unavailable. It ensures chargers can still operate without exceeding limits.



10. 9. Enter the buffer percantage. A safety margin (expressed as a percentage) subtracted from the site’s maximum capacity to prevent overloads and account for unexpected load fluctuations.




11. 10. Use Site Meter: Enable this option if your site has a meter installed. Once switched on, you’ll be able to enter the site’s meter details, which are required for accurate monitoring and load management.



12. 11. Enter Meter ID. It is a unique identifier for the site’s meter. Enter the ID configured in your meter device so the system can recognize and connect to it.



13. 12. Select the type of meter installed at the site (e.g., Shelly). This helps the system understand how to communicate with the meter for accurate readings.



14. 13. Max Capacity, Fallback Capacity, and Buffer: These fields are the same as defined in the site configuration. They are auto-filled with the site’s values, but you can adjust them here if needed for this meter.



15. 14. Enable EV Charging: Turn this on if chargers are connected to this meter or will be connected in the future. This allows the system to include the meter in EV load calculations and management.



16. 15. Open Advance Configurations for more options.



17. 16. Voltage: Enter the operating voltage for the site. By default, this is set to 230V, but you can update it if your setup requires a different value.



18. 17. Charging Profile Expiry Interval (sec): The duration (in seconds) that a charging profile stays valid in the system. Default is 60 seconds, but this can be changed if needed.



19. 18. Click Save Site to save site settings.



20. 19. That’s it — the site setup is complete. Click on eye icon to see the site details



21. 20. Here you can see all site deails: Overview, Meters, Chargers, Groups, etc.



Site Meters

22. Under Meters tab you can have a list of meters connected to the site and can also add new one by clicking on Add New Meter if site has multiple meters.
Here the meter status shows Disconnected which means the meter is offline or not reachable



23. Once the meter is online and starts sending data to the system, the status will show as Connected



Site Groups

24. Under Groups tab, you can see the list of groups for the site and can add new groups by clicking on Add New Group button



25. Enter Group name.



26. Then enter the capacity in each phase for the group



27. Click the Save Group button to save group settings.



28. All done - Group is created. Now we can add chargers under site, meter, group.



Site Chargers

29. Under Chargers tab, you can see the list of chagers connected to the site and aff new one by clicking on Add New Charger button



30. Site Details: Before adding a charger, select the relevant site details:

Site Name – Choose the site where the charger will be installed.

Meter – Select the meter that the charger will be connected to.

Group – (Optional) Assign the charger to a specific group for better organization and load management.



31. Next is Charger Details:


Charger ID: Enter the same Charger ID that was created in WEvolt Hub. This ensures the charger can connect correctly to the OCPP server and communicate with the system.



32. Charger Name: Alias name give to the charger



33. Charger Phase Type: Select whether the charger is single-phase or three-phase. This determines how electricity is distributed and impacts load management.

Phase Assignment: Assign which phase(s) the charger will use (e.g., L1, L2, L3). This ensures proper balancing of load across the site’s electrical phases.



34. Max Capacity: Enter the maximum power (in Amps or kW) that the charger can draw. This helps the system manage load and prevent overloading the site or meter.



35. Click the Add Connector button to configure individual charging ports on the charger.



36. Connector ID: A unique identifier for the connector within the charger.

Current Type: Select the type of current the connector will use (AC or DC).



37. Minimum Capacity: The minimum current the connector will provide when charging starts.

Maximum Capacity: The maximum current the connector can draw, used for load balancing.



38. Add more connectors by clicking Add Connector



39. This shows the second connector info



40. Click Save Charger to save charger and connector settings



41. This shows the list of charger added for the site.
Red Wifi Icon: Charger has lost connection to the system or OCPP server

Green Wifi icon: Charger is connected and ready to use



Site Graph

42. Under Graph view tab, you can see the whole topology of site with meters and chargers.
