Lithuanian startup solves the problem of lack of charging stations

What can stop an electric car from moving? The lack of a charging station, of course. And what can stop the creation of more stations? Almost nothing, except for limitations in the electrical grid.

Having identified this major obstacle to the development of charging infrastructure, the Lithuanian startup Unbalanced Grid has created an innovative solution that attempts to solve this challenge facing electric vehicles - the lack of a well-developed network of charging stations.

The company is overcoming this barrier with cloud-based AI technology that can dynamically predict network load. The innovators hope this will allow more charging points to be built, avoiding unsustainable and expensive network upgrades.

The cloud-software solution is not limited by wiring and/or physical equipment. The cloud-managed charging network can charge an electric vehicle by taking unused energy from buildings or the grid and distributing it to multiple charging points. The solution allows for the installation of charging stations in places with limited power.

How does the system work?

The Inbalance Grid system operates at three levels of power balancing, providing greater efficiency, cost savings, and a simplified installation process.

First level: Charging cluster

Allows for more charging points with less power dissipation. Load is dynamically distributed in real time within the cluster, taking into account factors such as electric vehicle type, battery capacity and demand.

Second level: Building

Prevents outages, optimizes energy consumption, and maximizes uptime. Electric vehicle chargers monitor real-time electricity consumption from building systems, adjusting loads accordingly.

Third level: Power grid

Prevents grid congestion and optimizes the use of excess energy. Charging systems dynamically adjust loads based on total energy consumption, balancing the grid at a regional, city or even national level.
