When many electric vehicles charge at the same time, load balancing can be necessary to prevent overload. If there is an overload, the system automatically adjusts the power of the charging stations or stops them completely. Configuration instructions CTEK E-Mobility AB...
The most important configuration is the configuration of the NANOGRID™ controller unit. The NANOGRID™ controller unit has two variants: • CTEK GRID CENTRAL (CGC): A controller unit that is dedicated to the task of load balancing. The control unit is usually installed in a separate cabinet. Distribution Panel •...
To set this fuse node as the grid connection point, the parent value should be the same as the identity value. Refer to the note and example below. The grid connection point has itself as a parent in the configuration. Configuration instructions CTEK E-Mobility AB...
To install the nanogrid.ini configuration file • Install the nanogrid.ini file via the CTEK CHARGE PORTAL web interface, a third party CSMS backend, or upload the nanogrid.ini file through the NANOGRID™ controller web interface, refer to "To install the nanogrid.ini configuration file through the controller web interface"...
If the value is not set to “Full,” change the value in the drop-down and press the “Save” button. When prompted, push the “Reset” button on top of the web interface page to reset the applications on the station and apply new settings. Configuration instructions CTEK E-Mobility AB...
FIFO: First in first out scheduling. The EVSEs with the longest charging session are prioritized. SIMPLEFEEDBACK: A feedback-based scheduler that can be abbreviated as SFB in nanogrid.ini. This is the recommended scheduler. • Set the scheduler parameter at the top-level category to select scheduler. CTEK E-Mobility AB Configuration instructions...

This is the maximum charging current that is reported to any connected EV. Assigned Charging capacity that has been assigned to the station by the NANOGRID™ controller, per phase. Measured Current draw per phase, reported by the station to the NANOGRID™ controller. Configuration instructions CTEK E-Mobility AB...
• Minimum allowed charging current: the minimum assignment required from the controller to start a charging session. This value is usually 6 A, but other settings can change it. The minimum required charging current cannot CTEK E-Mobility AB Configuration instructions...
Setup: Distribution Board MAINPANEL 50 A with 4 EVSEs. Total available capacity is calculated (TotCap). STATION_1: EVSE1 (16 A) Each charging EVSE gets assigned (TotCap/Count) Ampere.
