Dynamic Power Management for Electric Car Chargers

DLM 2.0 controls the maximum power defined for all the equipment in an installation so it is never exceeded.

Is dynamic and smart management possible? The Smart DLM system makes it possible.

At Ingeteam Electric Vehicle Chargers, we are always at the forefront to offer our clients the latest and most efficient chargers. Whether for the private or public sector, we develop electric vehicle chargers that meet the requirements of each client. Click on this link and take a look at our catalogue.

The Dynamic Load Management 2.0 system from the INGEREV range enables all sockets of an electric vehicle charging station to share a defined global power value. This technology helps avoid:

-     Contracting excessive power that is rarely used.

-     Over-dimensioning connections and electrical panels.

-     Installing magnetothermal drop protections.

-     Being fined for excessive power consumption.

-     DLM 2.0 differs from other systems on the market because it integrates HW and additional SW into the chargers themselves, which significantly reduces the cost of installation.

In a recent post, we discussed the most common locations where electric vehicle chargers are found. Our dynamic charge management system provides the chargers installed in these locations with the following advantages:

-      Reducing implementation costs, making use of existing lines and electric panels, minimising the increase of contracted power, etc.

-      Optimising power consumption of the installation by assigning the maximum available power to each vehicle.

-      Increased recharge efficiency given that less contracted power is needed, which reduces costs.

We have also created the Smart DLM system, the evolution of the DLM 2.0. Its operation resembles its predecessor's, but its technology acts intelligently taking into account all the electrical installation.

Smart DLM automatically modifies, in real time and dynamically, the power of all chargers present in the installation, adapting to the other existing consumptions. That is, if the building is consuming 60% of the maximum power at any given time, the chargers will automatically adapt to use only the remaining 40%. This is possible thanks to an external analyser that measures how much energy the rest of the facility is consuming. No other external equipment or remote connection is required, greatly reducing the costs compared to other similar systems on the market.

At Ingeteam Electric Vehicle Chargers, we develop recharge terminals with different specifications under our own INGEREV product range. Click on this link to learn out about our electric vehicle chargers.
