How does load balancing work?
Efficient charging starts with managing power effectively.
This text explains how load balancing plays a crucial role in achieving this goal. There are two key types:
1. Static Load Balancing: This ensures fair distribution of power across charging stations, dynamically adjusting based on the number of active stations.
2. Dynamic Load Balancing (Wattify's Approach): This takes it further, dynamically adjusting power to each station based on real-time energy consumption: Monitoring: We track real-time power usage through an external meter or API. Optimization: Using this data, our system calculates and applies personalized charge profiles for each station, maximizing efficiency. Beyond the Basics: It goes beyond simple calculations. We consider factors like: Customer preferences: Smart charging based on costs, emissions, renewable energy availability, and grid stability. * Prioritization: Prioritizing based on vehicle usage (e.g., prioritizing a delivery van needing a quick charge).
Continuous Optimization: Charge profiles are constantly updated based on:
Meter data
Fleet requirements
Grid conditions
Spot prices
More Than a Feature: Dynamic Load Balancing is not just a feature, it reflects our commitment to:
Sustainability: Efficient power distribution contributes to a cleaner future.
Efficiency: We ensure EVs charge according to needs while optimizing renewable energy use.
