The €2,000 case for dynamic load management

The simplest option - no management. The charging infrastructure is always given the load it requests. This means all charging points can charge with full power at all times. Sounds great? Well, there's a catch. There is no overload protection so high loads can cause blackouts. Furthermore, the high peaks drive up your grid tariffs. So this option is only suited to operate a small number of charging stations.

Apply a static cap on the load supplied to your charging infrastructure. Whilst this avoids extreme peaks it also has significant drawbacks. In periods of low base loads static load management limits the charging power even though no new load peak would be caused. Moreover, in periods of high base loads static load management does not protect against overloads.

The most advanced option. Dynamic load management considers the load on the grid connection point in real time and adjusts the load supplied to the charging stations accordingly. This has two significant advantages over the other options. First, there is a permanent overload protection and peak loads are limited. Second, the charging power is only limited in periods of high base loads. This ensures that EVs can always charge with the maximum load while no new peaks are caused so you can operate more charge points on your existing infrastructure, save on grid tariffs and don't worry about overloads.
