Real-World Infrastructure Scenarios
Discover how AES solutions work together to solve real operational and energy challenges across different industries. From retail destinations and shopping centres to highway charging hubs and private fleet depots, every scenario demonstrates how intelligent planning, energy management and charging operations create smarter, more efficient infrastructure.
Instead of presenting individual products, these scenarios demonstrate how the AES platform combines planning, energy management, charging operations and customer engagement to solve real business challenges.
Retail Destination Charging
Transforming a retail site into an energy-efficient charging destination.

Business Challenge
A growing retail destination wants to attract EV drivers while improving the customer experience. Alongside installing DC fast chargers, the operator plans to add rooftop solar, battery storage and a new HVAC system. However, the existing grid connection has limited spare capacity, making a traditional utility upgrade both costly and time-consuming.
How AES helps
Energy Insight evaluates multiple infrastructure scenarios to determine the optimal combination of solar generation, battery storage and charging capacity.
Local Energy Management (LEM) continuously allocates the available electrical capacity between the building's HVAC system, EV chargers and other site loads, ensuring the grid connection is never exceeded while maximizing the use of locally generated energy.
Chargemetric operates and monitors the charging network, while Screen Manager transforms charger displays into digital communication channels for promotions and advertising.
Payments & Roaming ensure the charging infrastructure remains accessible to both local customers and roaming EV drivers.

Shopping Centre Smart Parking
Turning parking into a connected customer experience with EV charging, smart access and solar energy.

Business Challenge
A shopping centre already operates public AC chargers and rooftop solar PV but wants to deliver a more connected experience for its visitors. Rather than treating parking and EV charging as separate services, the operator aims to create a seamless customer journey from arrival and parking to charging, payments and departure.
At the same time, the shopping centre wants to increase the utilization of its existing charging infrastructure, maximize the use of on-site solar generation and create new opportunities to engage customers while they spend time on-site.
How AES helps
Rollet integrates parking management with EV charging through license plate recognition, digital parking validation and automated customer access.
Chargemetric manages the existing AC charging network, providing centralized monitoring, user management and operational control.
Local Energy Management (LEM) dynamically allocates the available electrical capacity while maximizing the use of on-site solar generation across the existing charging infrastructure.
Screen Manager transforms charger displays into digital communication channels, allowing the shopping centre to promote stores, special offers, events and wayfinding while customers charge.
Payments & Roaming provide convenient access for local customers and roaming EV drivers through multiple payment methods and charging networks.

Highway Fast Charging Hub
Turning renewable energy into a strategic business asset.

Business Challenge
A highway service area already operates a large solar installation and battery energy storage system. As demand for ultra-fast charging continues to grow, the operator wants to expand its public charging infrastructure while maximizing the financial value of its existing energy assets.
Rather than simply consuming electricity, the site aims to intelligently balance local renewable generation, battery storage, charging demand and electricity market conditions to reduce operating costs and create new revenue opportunities.
How AES helps
Distributed Energy Management (DEM) continuously analyzes solar production, battery capacity, charging demand, electricity prices and grid conditions to determine the optimal energy strategy. By intelligently deciding when to store energy, supply the chargers, purchase electricity from the grid or export surplus energy, DEM helps maximize the economic value of the site's energy assets.
Chargemetric manages the high-power charging network, providing centralized monitoring, operational control and charging session management.
Screen Manager enhances the customer experience by delivering dynamic content, promotions and advertising during charging sessions.
Payments & Roaming ensure the charging hub remains accessible through multiple payment methods and international roaming networks.

Private Fleet Depot
Electrifying fleet operations without compromising reliability.

Business Challenge
A logistics company is transitioning its vehicle fleet to electric mobility while planning to install rooftop solar and battery storage to reduce operating costs. Vehicles return throughout the evening with varying battery levels, yet every vehicle must be fully charged and ready before the next day's operations begin.
The challenge is to make the most of the site's available electrical capacity while ensuring reliable charging, minimizing infrastructure costs and supporting future fleet expansion.
How AES helps
Energy Insight analyzes fleet operations and future energy demand to determine the optimal sizing of solar generation, battery storage and charging infrastructure before deployment.
Local Energy Management (LEM) continuously allocates available electrical capacity between fleet chargers and other facility loads, ensuring reliable overnight charging without exceeding the site's grid connection.
Chargemetric provides centralized fleet charging management, allowing operators to monitor charging sessions, prioritize vehicles, schedule charging and analyze fleet performance from a single platform.
