Dynamic Load Balancing
Dynamic Load Balancing ensures optimal and safe charging. With some charging stations, this may be a standard feature and with others it can be purchased as an add-on. But what exactly does this technique mean and how does it work? In this blog, we explain all about Dynamic Load Balancing and list the biggest advantages it provides.
Dynamic Load Balancing protects the house or the building from overcharging while your car is charged at maximum speed. The Load Balancing measures the consumption in the house or building and adjusts the charging speed accordingly. Is there (too) much consumption in the house because the hob, air conditioner or heater is on, for example? Then charging is lower. Is there little consumption? Then charging is faster.
For businesses, using Dynamic Load Balancing is both a practical and economical choice for safe charging. For instance, it ensures that it is possible to charge multiple cars at the same time without overcharging.
The Load Balancing not only ensures that the consumption is measured but also the feed-in of solar electricity. By generating solar energy, charging with green power is possible. Would you like to charge with 100% free solar energy generated by your own installation? This is possible from as little as 1.4 kW. Even with a minimum number of panels or available sun, the charging station can charge.
For basically all Dutch households, Dynamic Load Balancing is a must. Why? The main home connection is often 3x25A. An electric car often requires 3x16A charging. That means you are left with 9A for consumption at home. Are you doing laundry, cooking or turning on the heating while charging the car without dynamic load balancing? Then the chances of overloading are high and that group in the meter box may short out.
In short; do you want fast loading in a reliable way? Then Load Balancing is a must! At Ratio, you can easily order the right charging station including dynamic load balancing. The Solar and Solid are standard equipped with the Dynamic Load Balancing kit and you can buy this kit separately for the Smart and io6.
