As electric vehicles (EVs) and solar energy gain momentum, the demand for intelligent home energy management solutions continues to grow. ELECQ provides innovative technologies, including Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB), Active Load Management (ALM), and the ELECQ Power Monitor, to ensure smart, efficient energy utilization in residential settings.
Understanding ELECQ's Approach to Home Energy Management
ELECQ solutions are designed to seamlessly balance household energy consumption with EV charging needs, particularly in homes utilizing solar power systems.
ALM: Prioritizing Essential Home Appliances
Active Load Management (ALM) functions as your home's energy traffic controller. It intelligently monitors household electricity consumption in real-time and dynamically adjusts EV charging rates to avoid electrical overloads. ALM ensures essential home appliances always receive sufficient power while providing effective EV charging.
**Example Scenario: **
If your household appliances currently consume a combined load of 5 kW, and your home's electrical panel has a total capacity of 10 kW, ALM will limit EV charging to 5 kW. This prevents any risk of exceeding your panel's capacity and ensures stable energy usage.
DLB: Optimizing Energy Distribution Across Multiple Chargers
Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) intelligently distributes available power across multiple ELECQ chargers, ensuring optimal energy allocation without exceeding your home's electrical capacity.
**Example Scenario: **
Imagine your home has a total available capacity of 20 kW, with three EVs (A, B, and C) charging simultaneously. DLB dynamically allocates power—such as 10 kW to Vehicle A, 6 kW to Vehicle B, and 4 kW to Vehicle C—to efficiently use available capacity. When Vehicle A finishes charging, DLB automatically reallocates the freed-up power to Vehicles B and C, optimizing energy efficiency.
In essence, DLB serves as the intelligent power manager for your EV chargers, enhancing efficiency and preventing energy waste.
Intelligent Charging Modes: Tailored to Your Energy Needs
ELECQ chargers, combined with the ELECQ Power Monitor, offer intelligent charging modes designed to optimize energy usage and reduce electricity costs. Users can select their preferred charging mode based on energy needs and cost considerations:
-
Only Solar Mode: Exclusively utilizes solar-generated electricity, minimizing reliance on grid power and reducing electricity bills, particularly beneficial during high solar production periods.
-
Solar Priority Mode: Prioritizes solar power usage while supplementing with grid electricity as needed, effectively balancing energy cost savings with practical charging speed.
-
Unlimited Mode: Combines both solar and grid electricity for the fastest possible charging, ideal for scenarios requiring rapid charging.
