## What is Capacity Optimizer?

Capacity Optimizer is an on-site power controller for DC fast charging sites. It load-balances chargers in real time, enforces grid and site limits, reduces peak demand, and keeps critical control local — even if the internet drops.

Product model: **CO-LB-100**. Company: **CapOpt AB**, Stockholm, Sweden.

## How does EV charging load balancing work?

The controller reads site import from a power meter, polls charger status over Modbus, applies configured limits and priorities, then writes power setpoints to each charger so simultaneous sessions stay within the available connection.

## Can it help avoid a grid upgrade?

Often yes. By dynamically allocating available power across active sessions and optional peak shaving, many sites can add chargers on the connection they already have instead of waiting for a larger grid feed. Feasibility depends on electrical limits and traffic patterns — CapOpt reviews site fit before proposal.

## Does Capacity Optimizer require the cloud?

No. Core load balancing and limit enforcement run on-site. Cloud monitoring is an optional add-on for remote visibility, history, and alerts — not required for power control.

## Which chargers and meters are supported?

Capacity Optimizer uses a Modbus-first integration strategy with verified support for leading DC charger and power-meter brands (examples: Siemens, ABB E-mobility, Alpitronic, Kempower, EVBox, Sinexcel; meters from ABB, Bender, IME, Janitza, Garo, Carlo Gavazzi). Compatibility is reviewed before proposal.

## Who is it for?

CPOs, fleet operators, site owners, installers, and integrators running commercial DC fast charging infrastructure.
