EV Charging Terminology

Load balancing distributes available electrical capacity between chargers, circuits or site loads to avoid exceeding supply limits. It is normally assessed against site capacity, maximum demand, charger grouping and the behaviour expected when electrical demand changes.

Load curtailment reduces or temporarily limits charging demand to keep a site within an agreed electrical capacity or operating limit. It is normally assessed against site capacity, maximum demand, charger grouping and the behaviour expected when electrical demand changes.

Load management controls EV charging demand in response to available electrical capacity, site load, user priority or grid constraints. It is normally assessed against site capacity, maximum demand, charger grouping and the behaviour expected when electrical demand changes.
