The new load management
The three most important new features of Lobas
The time is ripe: Our dynamic load management system Lobas is helping to push forward the mobility transition. We have now comprehensively revised our Load Balancing System and, in the process, have created a solution that meets the current and future requirements for the control of intelligent charging stations even more effectively. In this article, you can find out what improvements Lobas 2.0 has to offer.

Lobas 2.0
In the version that is available starting immediately, we have adapted our dynamic load management system even better to the requirements of users. The new Lobasnow offers new functions, easier access, and even simpler operation.
Three new features are particularly noteworthy:
- Charged quantities of energy can be billed in a way that is compliant with calibration law
- All devices can be accessed regardless of location
- Usability has been optimized
What do these three new features mean in detail and what do they offer Lobas users?
Lobas is compliant with calibration law
Anyone offering and billing charging processes non-privately must meet certain requirements set out in the German Measures and Verification Act (MessEG), the German Measures and Verification Ordinance (MessEV), and the Price Indication Ordinance (PAngV). According to these requirements, it must be possible to track at any time which charging point has consumed how much energy in kilowatt hours (kWh). The charging processes must also be stored for later verification. Systems that meet these requirements are referred to as “compliant with calibration law” (eichrechtskonform).
Many of the dynamic load management systems available on the market use a separate backend for this purpose that must be installed in addition to the actual solution. What makes Lobas so special in this regard is that it has integrated the functions required for compliance with calibration law without incurring any ongoing costs. This gives companies, property owners’ associations, and administrations an independent, reliable, and easy means to bill charging processes.
Lobas is location-independent
A further innovation is generally aimed at those who operate charging points at multiple locations simultaneously. With Lobas 2.0, all devices used can be connected to a higher-level software, allowing each location to be mapped in a single software interface. This offers numerous advantages for companies with multiple company locations that manage their fleet management from a centralized location.
Now, all relevant values obtained from a wallbox or charging station can now be accessed remotely. How many charging points are being used at location X and how much electricity is the photovoltaics system there currently generating?
And how does the situation at location Y compare to this? Who is charging their electric vehicle there and how much electricity is required for this? With the help of our dynamic load management system, you can get an answer to each of these questions from any location. For example, if the employees responsible for fleet management are in Munich, they can conveniently keep an eye on the charging processes and energy flows at the company headquarters in Hamburg.
And Lobas not only allows you to analyze organization-wide energy flows from any location – including the home office: It also gives you a clear picture, for example, of which locations require the installation of further charging points. You can also immediately inspect reports regarding power outages or other problems without the need for a technician to travel to the affected branch beforehand. All this not only makes it more convenient and reliable to manage an electric fleet, but also saves time that can be put to good use elsewhere.
Lobas is clearly designed and easy to use
In addition to the many new functions, Lobas now offers an extensively modernized dashboard and thus improved usability. You get all the information you need to analyze the consumption situation at a location at a glance. Part of what creates this global view is the energy flow diagram, which shows the grid side, the consumption, in-house energy generation, and energy storage.
Lobas can give you answers to such questions such as the total consumption or the degree of autonomy. You can also clearly see how much energy is being drawn from the grid and how much electricity is being generated by your own photovoltaics system, or what proportion of the charging energy are you producing yourself and how much of this is being stored.
But the Lobas dashboard is not only used to monitor and analyze locations.
It also enables you to set up the individual charging points. For example, you can define the priority of a charging point or the maximum amount of electricity that can be charged though that charging point. Individual charging rules can also be created. This allows conditions to be defined that must be met for a charging process to take place.
Possible charging conditions include:
- Certain times of day
- A certain electricity price
- The presence of PV surplus
- A minimum value of self-generated energy
Conclusion: Electromobility needs dynamic load management
Electromobility is still on the rise all over the world. While this has a positive effect on carbon emissions and protects the climate, it also entails new challenges. For example, network overloads may occur if several vehicles are charged at one location at the same time.Lobas, our manufacturer-independent dynamic load management system, prevents such peak loads and makes charging processes more efficient and less costly.
For the mobility transition to succeed, even more extensive use must be made of electrically powered vehicles. This in turn requires a stable electricity grid. Our dynamic load management system Lobas ensures an efficient, needs-based distribution of existing energy capacities and makes an important contribution to achieving a future without combustion engines. For the new version of Lobas, we have extensively revised it and further adapted it to the requirements of the market.
This brings us a decisive step closer towards the goal of achieving significantly lower pollutant emissions in our country.
