Dynamic Load Management
Effectively managing energy distribution in EV AC/DC charging is essential to avoid overloading the grid, cut costs, and integrate solar power. For electric vehicle (EV) users, this means having charging solutions that are sustainable, affordable, and reliable.
Make charging more efficient by automatically adjusting to the maximum available power. This way, the charging rate stays within limits, helping to prevent extra costs, grid overload, and blackouts.
Save money on costly updates to electrical infrastructure and quickly recover your investment. Since the solution is located where the chargers are, it makes maintenance easier.
Vehicles connected to priority charging ports receive electricity at a higher rate, enabling them to charge faster than those on standard ports. This ensures that essential or time-sensitive vehicles can return to the road quickly.
The DLM (Dynamic Load Management) balances the load in both AC and DC charging setups. It also allows for the use of solar energy, prioritizing fast-charging stations with the extra power generated.
Chargers can be managed simultaneously through OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol), which standardizes communication between charging stations and management systems. The DLM allows for easy integration with your preferred backend, streamlining the control of multiple chargers and enhancing operational efficiency.
The DLM (Dynamic Load Management) system’s offline mode allows it to operate during network failures by continuing to track and save important data. It also has the feature of dynamic control with power distribution for the charging system, ensuring efficient charging remains uninterrupted until the network is restored.

Total Control Over Energy Use with EV Bahan’s DLM
EV Bahan Control’s DLM is a smart software that helps manage energy across multiple EV chargers operating simultaneously. It efficiently balances the available power among the chargers and allows you to customize how that power is used based on your specific needs. This system works well with both AC and DC chargers and can also balance energy from solar power sources.
With DLM, you can distribute energy fairly among all EVs or prioritize specific chargers based on usage. If you choose to distribute power equally, every EV will charge at the same speed, sharing the available energy.
If you decide to prioritize certain charging points, Dynamic Load Management will manage the power distribution smartly. When the demand for power is higher than what is available, the system can pause charging for some vehicles until more power is free. This way, DLM keeps a waiting list for chargers, ensuring that the charging process is organized and prioritized.
DLM automatically manages the available power from the grid or solar energy. It works with any inverter on the market, prioritizing solar energy to reduce grid use. When more power is needed for charging, DLM can mix energy from both sources and prioritize fast DC charging.
You can monitor DLM’s performance in real-time, accessing vital metrics such as charging speeds and energy usage. The user-friendly interface provides alerts for issues and insights into historical data, allowing you to optimize charging schedules and ensure efficient EV charging operations from anywhere, enhancing overall convenience.
Many new buildings have Building Management Systems (BMS) to oversee energy efficiency and prevent grid overload. With the addition of EV charging points, these systems can effectively manage energy usage. Dynamic Load Management integrates smoothly with external monitoring software, including BMS, allowing for comprehensive energy management and optimization within the existing infrastructure.
DIFFERENT USED CASE
When all four stations are charging, dynamic load management will distribute the available capacity evenly among them, allowing each station to charge with not more than 11 kW.
Two out of four charging stations are occupied. Dynamic Load Management distributes power among charging stations allowing each station to charge with not more than 22 kW, When the new electrical vehicle starts or stops charging, Dynamic Load Management recalculates and adjusts the limits of charging power per station.
TESTING SCENARIO :
Dynamic Load Management tests will be done systematically and iteratively during the solution development. For all the tests, actual charge points, and cars will be used.
An EV Charging Management System (EV CMS) is a platform that helps you manage electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. It’s an all-in-one EV charging solution that lets you track charging sessions, monitor station performance, process payments, and generate reports. Basically, it makes managing your EV charging stations much easier and more efficient.
A dynamic load management (DLM) EV charger is a type of charging station that automatically adjusts the amount of power it uses based on the current demand from connected vehicles and the overall electrical capacity available. This technology enables chargers to share power more efficiently, ensuring that all EVs receive the necessary energy without exceeding the electrical limits of the installation. DLM chargers help prevent overloads and optimize energy usage, making them ideal for locations with multiple charging stations.
Static load balancing refers to the fixed distribution of electrical power to chargers, where each charger receives a predetermined amount of power regardless of the actual demand. This method can lead to inefficiencies, especially if some chargers are not in use. Dynamic load balancing, on the other hand, continuously monitors the demand and adjusts the power distribution in real-time. This approach maximizes the use of available energy, reduces the risk of overload, and enhances the performance of the charging network.
Load management and balancing are crucial for several reasons:
- Preventing Overloads: They help ensure that the electrical system does not exceed its capacity, reducing the risk of outages or damage to equipment.
- Cost Savings: Efficient load management can lower energy costs by reducing peak demand charges and optimizing energy usage.
- Enhanced Reliability: Proper load balancing improves the reliability of the charging infrastructure, ensuring that vehicles can charge without interruptions.
- Scalability: It allows businesses to expand their charging networks easily, accommodating more vehicles without requiring significant upgrades to the electrical system.
The main difference between static and dynamic load management lies in how power distribution is handled:
- Static Load Management: In this approach, power allocation is fixed and does not change in response to varying demands. This can lead to inefficiencies and potential overloads if the allocated power exceeds what is needed.
- Dynamic Load Management: This method adjusts power distribution in real-time based on the actual demand from connected chargers and the overall electrical capacity available. Dynamic load management optimizes energy use, enhances reliability, and prevents overloads, making it a more effective solution for managing EV charging networks.
