Many EV charge point installations for business require multiple charge points to be installed, but to use them all at once, could require an increase to the capacity of the electrical installation.
EV charging load balancing offers a solution for powerful charging with a cost-efficient connection by balancing energy demand throughout the day, with a focus on reducing energy usage during peak demands.
EV charging load balancing can help:
- maximize charging site efficiency and customer satisfaction by ensuring that every individual charge point has the right amount of energy to supply each vehicle
- meet customers’ basic expectations for EV charging and reduce energy costs
- ensure that the vehicle will leave on time with enough energy and alert the driver if this cannot be achieved
- Charging the workforce and visitors for charges
- the service provider buy electricity from the power grid when it is cheaper and store the energy onsite,
- eMobility service providers meet both vehicle and driver requirements
EV charging load balancing can be either static or dynamic:
Static Load Balancing
“Preassigned” i.e. based on time of day
Dynamic Load Balancing
Changes in real time using complex algorithms adjusting energy consumption and redirecting it to the most critical areas
