Dynamic load balancing constantly monitors facility energy usage and allocates remaining power efficiently and effectively to charge vehicles within max power and capacity.
For example:
If a facility has a 200amp power supply and during normal operation and is using 100amps of that power, then it can allow 100amps of power for charging. If the facility aic conditioner turns on needing 50amps of power, the Dynamic load balancing will adjust the facility to show it is using 150amps and drop the allowed charging power to 50amps. When work is at an end and the facility usage drops to 50amps then the allowed power for charging is raised to 150amps.
Which hardware does Wevo support for load balancing?
The Wevo system is hardware agnostic. The algorithms are implemented in the cloud using OCPP-compliant chargers. Static load balancing requires no additional hardware and is implemented out of the box.
Dynamic load balancing uses connected meters. Wevo supports many leading meter providers, including:
Shelly Pro 3EM-120 β for smaller buildings up to 120A per phase
Shelly Pro 3EM-400 β for larger buildings up to 400A per phase
Enegic meter β for properties up to 2500A per phase
NextBlu meter β for properties up to 1500A per phase
All these meters are connected to the Internet. Some require an extra LTE modem or a stable Wifi connection to operate. Most are quite inexpensive and cost less than $150.
