Energy Groups

Energy management enables users to create a parent-child relationship between the groups, giving your installation modular protection. A group can only have one parent group. And in a group there can be stations and or sub-groups.

Energy management makes sure that neither the parent's, nor the child groups limits are exceeded

For example, your charging stations are connected to an installation with the following:

  • 1 Transformer of max 100 kW

  • 2 Sub-distributions of 60 kW each

You can create one parent group on the transformer level and two child groups on the sub-distribution level. In this way, each port get its equal share (proportional to the group) up until the child and/or parent group limit is reached.

Switch between Table and Cards view to access an overview of the available energy groups.

The table below outlines the parameters available in the Energy Groups tab.
