What is Load Balancing?
Load balancing, or load matching, optimizes how power is distributed across devices. It prevents grid overloads and ensures your household or business avoids unexpected blackouts or equipment failure.
Static vs. Dynamic Load Balancing
Static Load Balancing
Fixed power allocation to each EV charger regardless of current load. Example: A 100 kW system with 10 chargers assigns 10 kW to each.
Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB)
DLB monitors real-time energy usage and intelligently redistributes power across EV chargers and appliances, ensuring optimal efficiency and safety.
How DLB Works in Home Charging
DLB ensures your EV doesn’t overload your household’s system. It adjusts EV charger power based on real-time appliance usage. Combined with solar, it stores power during the day and uses it at night to charge efficiently.
DLB for Multiple EV Chargers
In commercial settings, DLB centralizes load management, enabling smart prioritization—whether slow-charging a fleet overnight or fast-charging for tenant turnover.
Do All EV Chargers Support DLB?
No. Many low-end chargers lack this feature. Our YDcharge Wallboxes come with full load balancing capabilities.
Why Dynamic Load Balancing is the Future
With the rise of AI, solar energy, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration, DLB is evolving. Predictive analytics will allow EV chargers to anticipate peak loads and dynamically adjust.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I don’t use load balancing?
Overloads, tripped breakers, and reduced charging efficiency.
Can I upgrade my existing EV charger to support DLB?
Some chargers can with external load management systems. Check with your manufacturer.
Is DLB only for commercial use?
No. It’s increasingly popular in smart homes and residential EV charging setups.
