Technical Information

Due to the intelligent charging system and design-to-cost approach, there is no need to invest in the expansion of the grid connection, resulting in substantial cost and time savings during the installation of the charging infrastructure. The central control unit distributes the available charging capacity to the parked vehicles using dynamic and phase-individual load management.

chargeBIG responds flexibly to other consumers in the network and uses the electric vehicles as a controllable load. This ensures optimal utilization of the available power supply.

  • Single-phase charging in accordance with DIN EN 61851-1 „Mode 3“
    Dynamic charging power from 2.3 – 7.2kW

  • Individual charging points with 22kW possible (e.g. for visitor parking spot)

  • Dynamic and phase-individual load management with charging strategy: „first come, first serve“

  • Integrated control to avoid unbalanced load

  • Overvoltage protection and temperature monitoring in the charging cabinet

  • Size-optimized control cabinet on a small installation area

  • Cabinet version with air conditioning unit for outdoor use

  • Separate modular cabinet for measuring instruments to comply with calibration regulations

  • Central energy measuring device for load management and taxation purposes

The different variants of the load and energy management of chargeBIG

Static load management

  • Control according to fixed performance targets

Intelligent and dynamic load management

  • Consideration of the available power at the balance point (house or grid connection)

  • Integrated detection and avoidance of unbalanced load

  • Control with the charging strategy: „first come, first serve“

  • Charging fast enough with single-phase charging power between 2.3 – 7.2kW

  • Integration of uncontrolled 22kW charging points (max. two charging points together with 30 single-phase charging points in one charging cabinet)

  • Eco- and premium charging (dynamic charging power between 2.3 – 7.2kW or guaranteed 7.2kW charging power)

Grid-optimized load management (under development)

  • Based on market prices or the supply of renewable energy

  • Control and regulation on supply voltage and grid frequency (without compensation)

Load and energy management

The chargeBIG charging infrastructure can be used to control the load and energy management in a building while avoiding to exceed the maximum load limit. Thus costs for peak power can be reduced. chargeBIG can also regulate other loads by prioritizing these loads such as the kitchen or the test bench and reducing the electric vehicles as a controllable load in the charging power. If the chargeBIG system should not regulate autonomously, it can be integrated into the building management system and react to load specifications within one second.

Application of load management including other loads

Reduction of unbalanced loads

The phase individual load management of chargeBIG has an integrated active unbalanced load avoidance. It is continuously checked that no unbalanced loads of more than 20A occur on the different phases L1, L2 and L3. In order to compensate unbalanced loads the charging power on these phases are increased accordingly. Generally, in Germany unbalanced loads of less than 20A are allowed according to the “Technische Anschlussbedingungen” (TAB).
