What is Dynamic Load Management (DLM) and How does PSN-DLM differ?
Power System Neutral (PSN) stands out from typical cloud-based DLM solutions by eliminating the need for costly grid infrastructure upgrades
Dynamic Load Management (DLM) is a smart approach to distributing available electrical power among multiple users or devices, mainly in systems where demand often exceeds grid capacity—such as in EV charging or renewable energy hubs. Power System Neutral (PSN) stands out from typical cloud-based DLM solutions by eliminating the need for costly grid infrastructure upgrades, using patented real-time control to maximize existing grid resources for EV and PV deployment.
What is Dynamic Load Management?
Dynamic Load Management refers to technology that actively monitors and adjusts the distribution of electrical load, enabling the optimal sharing of limited grid power among multiple appliances—most often EV chargers. It prevents overload, ensures grid stability, and allows more chargers or devices to run simultaneously within the same infrastructure. By balancing demand with available supply, DLM can facilitate greater energy efficiency, reduce peak loads, and avoid unnecessary utility upgrades.
Industry Pain Points With Cloud DLM
Traditional cloud-based DLM systems do offer flexibility and remote management, but they typically require some degree of grid reinforcement to sustainably meet increased demand. These upgrades can take 18-30 months, come at significant cost, and may cause additional carbon emissions during construction.
Insufficient grid capacity for EV charging expansion.
High installation and wait-time costs.
Space and payment gateway constraints.
Increased risk from expensive Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) integration.
Power System Neutral (PSN): A Paradigm Shift
PSN technology challenges the status quo with a patented approach that leverages real-time, local, assertive load management—neutralizing grid limitations without upgrades. Key differentiators:
Zero grid expansion needed: PSN manages load safely within existing infrastructure, so no costly upgrades are required.
Short deployment timeline: Sites can be commissioned rapidly, unlocking underused capacity that is typically wasted during non-peak hours.
Close-looped and real-time control: Unlike many cloud DLM systems, PSN features non-deterministic, assertive tripping and real-time data optimization to respond faster and manage loads more accurately.
Integration-ready: Compatible with OCPP protocol, BESS, solar PV, and VPP networks.
Proven ROI: Real-world deployments (e.g., Singapore's HDB/Public Housing, Hong Kong Central) confirm higher utilization rates and significant cost savings, with live data showing increased revenue and payback as quickly as 3.5 years.
PSN vs. Typical Cloud DLM: Comparison Table
Feature | Power System Neutral (PSN) | Cloud-Based DLM |
|---|---|---|
Grid Upgrade Needed | No | Usually Yes |
Deployment Timeline | Short | Long (18-30 months) |
Capital Cost | Lower | Higher |
Untapped Energy Utilization | Yes | Partial |
Real-Time Local Control | Yes | Depends on cloud latency |
Decarbonization Benefits | Higher | Limited by grid upgrades |
Proven Deployments | Singapore, Hong Kong | Case-by-case |
Real-World Impact
PSN's installations, such as Hong Kong's Central district and Singapore’s Vivo City, have demonstrated lower return risk, shorter certification processes, and integration with solar PV and battery networks—all while avoiding the typical bottlenecks of cloud DLM models. This positions PSN not just as a technical innovation but a platform for equitable and rapid decarbonization in diverse urban settings.
Conclusion
In summary, Dynamic Load Management keeps our power systems flexible and efficient, but Power System Neutral’s breakthrough lies in grid-friendly local control and universal compatibility—delivering sustainable mobility and carbon savings where cloud DLM alone falls short.External-Company-Presentation.
