Load Optimization, smart charging to save on your bills

Load Optimization is a service to dynamically balance and manage the power available at the site between several charging stations. In this way it is possible to:

Limit investments needed to the possible increase of power for the installation of the charging infrastructure
Reduce operating costs related to peak power management, achieving up to 35% savings on the bill*.

 

*Savings are subject to the presence of an active tariff on the power quota. The savings indicated here are calculated on the monthly cost on the bill per single charging point, considering a fleet of 10 identical electric vehicles, with an average individual consumption of 121 Wh/km, 6.05 kWh of energy required per day and 50 km/day of travel, each with a nominal power cap of 11 kW. It is assumed the presence of a number of charging points equal to the vehicles (10) and charging sessions of 9 hours/day per vehicle, over the 5 working days of the week (Mon–Fri). The tariff applied for the power quota is the tariff for other uses BTA6 (for electricity supplies in low voltage with available power > 16.5 kW) in force in the year 2024, which provides a capacity fee equal to €31.3586/kW/year. The savings do not include the cost of the service.

 

Balance power demand across multiple stations for vehicle charging, respecting a predefined power limit. If a vehicle requires less power, the unused power is allocated to other vehicles.
Dynamically balance the power of charging stations based on site consumption thanks to the use of a Meter (sold separately), an intelligent measurement system that monitors your site’s consumption, allowing us to maximize the power allocated to charging stations while respecting the contractual power.

Reasons to choose Load Optimization

Save on your bill
Manage electrical charging better, avoiding power peaks.
Limit power increases
Set the power limit of your system, and avoid costly modifications to your electrical system.

Intelligent Load Management for multiple uses

Distribute charging power among fleet vehicles without ever exceeding the available power limit by setting priority logics.

In this way, it is possible to manage the charging process according to fleet needs and by choosing among different logics:

You can define the charging priority of your vehicles based on order of arrival; the first vehicle to arrive charges faster
You can define the charging priority of your vehicles based on order of arrival; the first vehicle to arrive charges faster. You can set the charging priority for each of your charging stations, for example you can choose to have stations in the guest parking area charge first and then those reserved for employees
You can set the charging priority for each of the vehicles in your fleet, for example choosing that vans charge before cars; or you can define the charging order based on fleet scheduling, that is, the order in which vehicles depart

Charge when the cost of Energy is optimal

With Net Manager Pro, you can schedule the charging of a fleet of vehicles based on your tariff time slots, respecting fleet charging needs and power limits. In this way, vehicles will be charged during time slots with the most advantageous Energy component, also avoiding power peaks and ensuring up to 40% savings on the bill.*

*Savings are subject to the presence of an active tariff on the power quota and an energy tariff with at least 2 time slots. The savings indicated here are calculated on the monthly cost on the bill per single charging point, considering a fleet of 10 identical electric vehicles, each with a nominal power cap of 11 kW, an average individual consumption of 121 Wh/km, 6.05 kWh of energy required per day and 50 km/day of travel. It is assumed the presence of a number of charging points equal to the vehicles (10) and charging sessions during evening and night time slots (from 7 PM to 4 AM), over the 5 working days of the week (Mon–Fri). The tariff applied for the power quota is the tariff for other uses BTA6 (for electricity supplies in low voltage with available power > 16.5 kW) in force in the year 2024, which provides a capacity fee equal to €31.3586/kW/year. The offer applied for Energy is Formidabile Luce Impresa by Enel Energia, with a three-time-slot tariff (F1, F2, F3) and Energy component price: PUN (Single National Price defined on a monthly basis and differentiated by time slots) + €0.039/kWh. In the calculation assumption, the average monthly PUN for the three time slots from November 2023 to April 2024 has been considered. The savings do not include the cost of the service.

 

FAQ

Load Management
Dynamic Load Management
Charging Prioritization
1. What does Load Management allow me to do?

Load Management allows you to adjust the total power delivered by your charging stations to avoid increasing the capacity of your power network or to reduce the peak power use that will weigh heavily on your bill if you have a power usage tariff. Through the dashboard you can configure a power limit that varies from day to day and also according to the time of day to avoid power outages while charging electric vehicles.

2. Can I also use Load Management after installing new charging stations on my site?

Yes, if you need to install new stations on your power network in the future, you simply have to remember to add the new stations via the dashboard in the 'Charge Group' section for which Load Management is already active.

3. Is Load Management necessary even if I have a dedicated charging station substation?

Yes, in this case, the limit must be configured so that it is equal to 80% of the current limit of the protections above the substation.

 

Substation protection limit : 30 A | System type = three-phase
Configured power = 3 - 0.8 - Substation protection limit - Phase voltage - 0.95 = 3 - 0.8 - 30 A - 230 V - 0.95 = 15kW

1. What is the difference between Load Management and Dynamic Load Management

Load Management controls the charging stations to make them comply with a limit pre-calculated by the user during activation and does not require the installation of external HW at the charging stations. Dynamic Load Management requires the installation of an additional HW (Waymeter Pro) that monitors the consumption of your site and dynamically calculates the power available for charging stations based on the real-time consumption of other consumers on the same network and the contracted power of your site.

2. I have solar panels; is it possible to use Dynamic Load Management in this case?

Yes. Dynamic Load Management is compatible with photovoltaic panels. The system will take into account any overproduction of your solar panel system, which it will allocate to the charging stations, avoiding energy emissions into the grid (subject to station/vehicle limits).

3. When is it better to use Dynamic Load Management rather than Load Management?

Dynamic Load Management is the best choice when the total power absorbed by charges outside the charging stations is comparable with the size power of the charging stations themselves.

1. What is the Charge Prioritization Service

Charge Prioritization allows you to distribute charging power among the vehicles in a fleet without ever exceeding the available power limit by setting priority logics. This makes it possible to manage the charging process according to the needs of the fleet and to choose between different logics, i.e. assigning an arbitrary order of priority to vehicles or charging stations, or prioritising vehicles according to arrival order or departure time.
