Charging station with Load Balancing: Carefree and optimal charging without overloading
Welcome to Accu-Machine.nl, the specialist in smart charging solutions for electric cars. With a growing number of electrical appliances in your home—from induction cooktops and heat pumps to multiple electric cars—power consumption can increase significantly. A charging station with load balancing is the essential solution for preventing overload on your home electricity grid and simultaneously charging at maximum speed without tripping fuses.
Choose a charging station with dynamic load balancing and enjoy ultimate convenience and peace of mind. Your charging station automatically adjusts to your home's available power capacity, so you always charge safely and efficiently, even during peak hours.
What is Load Balancing and Why is it Critical?
Load balancing is an intelligent technology that dynamically adjusts the charging capacity of your charging station to your home's current energy consumption. It's the smartest way to charge your electric car without the risk of overloading your meter box.
Why is it so important?
-
Prevents Power Outages: Without load balancing, simultaneously switching on appliances like the oven, dishwasher, and a charging station can lead to excessive power demand, tripping your main fuse and causing a power outage. Load balancing prevents this.
-
Optimal Use of Available Capacity: Your car always charges with the maximum available power your home can provide at that moment. If less power is used elsewhere, your car charges faster. If more power is required, the charging speed automatically decreases.
-
Saves on Grid Reinforcement Costs: Often, it's not necessary to have your expensive grid connection reinforced by the grid operator. A charging station with load balancing is a more affordable and flexible alternative.
-
Efficiency and Speed: Your car always charges as quickly as possible, taking the current situation into account. You don't have to worry about manually configuring or scheduling your devices.
-
Integration with solar panels: Many charging stations with load balancing can also communicate with your solar panels, allowing you to charge as much as possible with self-generated, free solar power without overloading the meter box.
How Does Dynamic Load Balancing Work?
A charging station with dynamic load balancing works via a smart meter or an energy meter installed in your meter box (often connected to the P1 port of your smart meter). This meter communicates continuously with the charging station.
-
Monitoring: The load balancer monitors your home's total power consumption in real time.
-
Adjust: As soon as other appliances (e.g. induction hob, heat pump, washing machine) require a lot of power, the charging station automatically reduces your car's charging capacity.
-
Optimize: When your home's consumption drops (e.g., at night or when appliances are finished), the charging station automatically increases your car's charging speed again, so it's fully charged as quickly as possible.
-
Solar Power Priority: If you have solar panels and the charging station supports this, the load balancing module can prioritize charging with the excess solar power.
This entire process is completely automatic and unnoticeable, so you can use all your electrical appliances without any worries.
Universal Compatibility and Charging Speed
Our load-balancing charging stations are universally compatible with all electric cars and plug-in hybrids in Europe. They are equipped with the standardized Type 2 connection for AC charging.
You will find charging stations with this functionality in various capacities:
-
1-phase charging stations (up to 7.4 kW): Very relevant for households with a 1-phase connection, where preventing overload is extra important.
-
3-phase charging stations (up to 11 kW or 22 kW): For faster charging, where load balancing ensures that you can safely use the maximum capacity of your 3-phase connection.
