Harmonise peak loads
FRONIUS HAS launched a load balancing function for its Charge & Connect connectivity software. This allows users to harmonise peak loads when charging lead-acid traction batteries.

Electricity peaks occur when many consumers draw power at the same time – for example, when several lead-acid batteries of the electric forklift fleet are charged simultaneously. This short-term heavy load on the grid can lead to an excess of the agreed power quota. Load Balancing can be used to prevent short-term overloads.
The software runs automatically and the fleet operator can set parameters such as shift model and battery availability requirements.
