AMPECO’s Multi-Level DLM – Addressing Grid Complexity with Precision 

Most EV charging sites operate on multi-layered electrical infrastructures where power must be shared across different circuits and loads. Without proper management, this can lead to inefficiencies, overload risks, and grid instability. Some cloud DLM systems struggle to reflect real-world electrical setups, limiting operators’ ability to allocate power accurately. AMPECO’s Multi-Level Dynamic Load Management (DLM) solves this problem by enabling precise circuit configurations that mirror actual site conditions.

Implementing accurate circuit configuration to alleviate grid discrepancies 

While representing a fully dedicated panel in a cloud DLM solution is relatively straightforward—since it does not share power with other circuits—most real-world grid configurations involve circuits that distribute power across multiple panels within the same site. As a result, power distribution may be inefficient or unbalanced without a precise representation of parent-child circuit relationships. Additionally, CPOs must make sure the power consumption of all panels does not exceed the site’s grid connection limit. AMPECO’s Multi-level DLM addresses this challenge by allowing operators to define nested circuits, ensuring accurate power allocation based on actual site limitations.

Common use cases requiring Multi-level DLM configurations include: 

1. Multi-level parking lots with EV chargers across multiple floors face unique power distribution challenges. DLM enables each floor to operate on dedicated circuits while ensuring total consumption stays within main supply limits.
2. Residential buildings where each parking spot is individually owned and assigned to a separate power circuit, yet all units share the same overall electrical supply. 
3. Open Rent-a-Car parking lots with EV charging stations that are distributed across different electrical circuits but still rely on a common power source. 
4. University Campuses Educational institutions with multiple buildings and parking facilities. Multi-level DLM  will manage multiple charging stations across different campus locations

The AMPECO’s Multi-level DLM capability 

Enabling the Multi-level DLM option allows operators to set up a “Parent circuit” during circuit configuration and add “Child circuits” under the parent. Operators can add numerous child circuits within a single parent circuit, which can also have their own child circuits. There are no restrictions on the depth of these nested levels, offering maximum flexibility.

This granular configuration solves two main challenges:

1. Parent Circuit Limitations: The parent circuit may have a lower limit than the combined capacity of all child circuits. 
2. Exceeding Parent Circuit Limits: The sum of the limits of all child circuits, plus potential consumers at the parent circuit level, may exceed the parent circuit’s overall limit. 

What’s important here is to highlight that when the Multi-level DLM option is enabled, the algorithm will always ensure that the limits of both parent and child circuits are never exceeded. It dynamically manages the child circuit limits to prevent grid overload and maintain power balance. Hence, CPOs can rest assured that their charger’s configuration won’t cause any grid anomalies while also saving time by not having to readjust power limits manually. 

The improved way to manage power circuits

AMPECO’s Multi-level DLM improves power distribution by ensuring accurate, balanced energy management across complex infrastructures. Configuring the DLM circuit at a more detailed level helps resolve inconsistencies that may arise from varying power demands and site setups, saving time and resources for troubleshooting. With this level of precision, CPOs can feel more confident in their ability to prevent grid overloads, avoid unexpected power shortages, and maintain seamless operations even in high-demand scenarios.
