            <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A single power peak can define your entire monthly grid cost—and destroy your charging hub profitability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this webinar, FLEXECHARGE experts Christof Bussen (Product Strategist) and Robert Brehm (CTO) explain how &lt;strong&gt;AI-powered peak shaving&lt;/strong&gt; helps Charge Point Operators (CPOs) reduce demand peaks by 20% or more—without impacting the charging experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#128073; Why it matters:&lt;br&gt;Across Europe, grid fees are increasingly driven by peak demand—not average consumption. Whether in Germany (BNetzA), the Nordics, or the Netherlands, one uncontrolled spike can cost thousands per billing cycle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This session goes beyond basic load management and shows how leading CPOs are shifting from static limits to &lt;strong&gt;real-time, AI-driven optimisation&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you’ll learn&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why one peak can cost €2,000–€3,000 in a single billing cycle&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How AI-powered peak shaving reduces peaks by 20–50%&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;The difference between peak capping and continuous optimisation&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How tariff structures (EU, DACH, Nordics) impact your strategy&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How BESS (battery storage) enhances peak shaving performance&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;How to improve EV charging profitability without reducing power delivery&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;From Cost Control to Competitive Advantage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Peak shaving is no longer just about avoiding penalties—it’s about building a scalable, grid-compliant EV charging business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With solutions like &lt;strong&gt;HARMON-E&lt;/strong&gt;, FLEXECHARGE enables CPOs to:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stay compliant with EU AFIR and national grid regulations&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Optimise energy usage in real time&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reduce operational costs and increase site profitability&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unlock flexibility revenues and future energy market participation&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Join the webinar&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#128197; April 28, 11:00&lt;br&gt;&#128073; Save your spot and learn how to turn peak management into a competitive advantage&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.flexecharge.com/ai-peak-shaving-for-ev-charging"&gt;&lt;img src="http://video.flexecharge.com/64968577/126198297/e0f7015117a78baadee576f315aac010/standard/download-11-thumbnail.jpg" width="600" height="338"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <itunes:summary>Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are becoming a key enabler for cost-efficient and scalable EV charging infrastructure.In this video, Geert de Mil (EV CPO Charging Technology Systems  Insights Manager at Q8) shares how Q8 leverages battery storage to optimize energy usage, reduce peak demand charges, and improve overall charging performance.As EV charging sites grow in power demand, grid constraints and electricity price volatility are major challenges—especially across Europe under frameworks like EU AFIR and national regulations such as Germany’s BNetzA.Q8’s approach demonstrates how integrating BESS allows Charge Point Operators (CPOs) and fuel retailers to:Perform effective peak shaving and lower energy costsReduce dependency on grid upgradesStabilize high-power charging operationsImprove site profitability and scalabilityThis is where FLEXECHARGE supports operators with grid-aware energy management solutions like HARMON-E, enabling smarter control of charging loads and battery systems.&#128073; Explore how FLEXECHARGE helps optimize EV charging infrastructure</itunes:summary>

            <media:description type="html">&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this Masterclass highlight, &lt;strong&gt;Robert Brehm (CTO)&lt;/strong&gt; explains why most batteries are unable to participate in &lt;strong&gt;reserve markets&lt;/strong&gt; for high-power charging sites.&lt;br&gt;Products like &lt;strong&gt;FCR, FFR, and aFRR&lt;/strong&gt; require extremely fast response times that many co-located batteries simply cannot achieve.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But while reserve markets are often out of reach, batteries remain highly valuable on site. Robert outlines the situations where batteries &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; kick in — including:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boost charging&lt;/strong&gt; when multiple high-power EV sessions overlap&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Peak shaving&lt;/strong&gt; to avoid grid overload or excessive demand charges&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Supporting the site&lt;/strong&gt; when local conditions exceed grid limits&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;This highlight gives CPOs clarity on what batteries can realistically do today, and why understanding &lt;strong&gt;response time&lt;/strong&gt; is key when evaluating flexibility and revenue potential.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#127891; &lt;strong&gt;Watch the full Masterclass:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#128073; &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.flexecharge.com/resources/webinars/the-power-of-co-located-batteries-unlocking-the-full-revenue-potential"&gt;https://www.flexecharge.com/resources/webinars/the-power-of-co-located-batteries-unlocking-the-full-revenue-potential&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://video.flexecharge.com/why-most-batteries-cant-join"&gt;&lt;img src="http://video.flexecharge.com/64968578/118901963/56d27cd867a1b53a508f1ab30474e90a/standard/download-14-thumbnail.jpg" width="75" height=""/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</media:description>
