Eve model 2017 (2.0) manual | Version 1.0 | July 2017
ENGLISH
APPENDIX 2: DEFAULT CONFIGURATION
OF OPTIONAL FACTORY SETTINGS
The Eve charging station has the following smart charging
options:
1.
Standard load balancing: the charging station divides
the configured capacity over both sockets.
2.
Active load balancing: similar, but expanded with the
ability to communicate with the smart meter (in your
charging station or indoor). The charging station takes
actual energy consumption and the maximum
capacity of your grid connection into account.
To simplify the order process for smart charge features,
various parameters are equipped with a default configura-
tion. This appendix provides an overview of these settings.
If your installation deviates from the applicable standard
settings below, please use the Service Installer to optimally
configure your charging station.

Standard Load balancing
Installation requirements:
•
The Alfen charging station is equipped with an active
load balancing feature activated over P1 port
•
Communication cable with RJ11 plugs
•
Smart meter with available P1-port
– Communication with DSMR4.0 or higher
The charging station and the smart meter communicate
with each other over the P1 port using the DSMR protocol
(version 4.0 or higher). Data about the actual consumption
and charging needs is regularly exchanged. Whenever smart
meter capacity is limited, the charging station will apply
load balancing to manage the connected vehicles. This
prevents the charging station from overloading, or prevents
additional grid costs from being incurred. In effect, this
features provides for ‘peak shaving’, managing the power
supply during peak moments.
If the P1 port of the smart meter is already being used by
another device, a splitter can be used.
NOTICE!
Not all splitters are compatible. Using splitters with two
cables may prevent your charging cable from being able to
communicate with the smart meter.
To correctly configure active load balancing, the following
parameters must be configured as follows:
•
Station-maxCurrent: maximum configuration for
standard load balancing. This limits the maximum
current(s) on the circuit(s) of the charging station.
•
Installation-MaxCurrent: This is the capacity of your grid
connection. In case of doubt, this can be verified by your
grid operator.
