Under this principle, the power available at the grid connection point is distributed among all active charging points in such a way that the available capacity is utilized as fully as possible and no single vehicle is unnecessarily disadvantaged. Unused power is automatically made available to other vehicles. It is an important <strong>component of modern load management and charging management systems<\/strong> for charging stations and charging infrastructure.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The term <strong>\u201cgrid connection capacity\u201d<\/strong> is used here to refer to the equitable distribution of available power among all charging points\u2014a usage that is not standardized across the industry in this form but has become established in practice as a clear description.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-It-Works\"><\/span>How It Works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>fair-share principle<\/strong> consists of four steps:<\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The total available power at the grid connection point is determined<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The total available power is divided by the number of active charging points or vehicles\u2014this ratio is the fair share<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If a charging point does not use its full allocation, the remaining power is distributed proportionally among the other active charging points<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whenever vehicles are added or removed, the distribution is recalculated<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Real-World-Example-at-the-Charging-Station\"><\/span>Real-World Example at the Charging Station<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A charging station has a grid connection capacity of 300 kW and eight charging points. When multiple electric vehicles are charging at the same time, the fair-share principle distributes the available power to the individual charging points based on demand. This allows the existing infrastructure to be used efficiently without having to expand the grid connection.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Distinction-from-Other-Distribution-Logics\"><\/span>Distinction from Other Distribution Logics<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fair-share principle is one of several possible allocation strategies within dynamic charging management\u2014and should not be equated with the other approaches:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Static charging management (equal distribution):<\/strong> Each active charging point receives the same amount of power, regardless of actual demand\u2014the opposite of fair-share<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fair-Share Principle: <\/strong>Available <strong>power <\/strong>is distributed according to need, so that each vehicle receives as closely as possible the power it requires, and unused power automatically benefits others<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Priority-based charging: certain <\/strong>user groups or vehicles are given priority \u2014 this is also not a fair-share approach, but rather an alternative approach<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Okean always distributes power according to the fair-share principle and does not give preference to any individual charging points.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits-for-Charging-Infrastructure-Operators\"><\/span>Benefits for Charging Infrastructure Operators<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Optimal use of the available grid connection capacity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>uniform availability of charging stations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Higher customer satisfaction through reliable, needs-based charging capacity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A basis for expanding additional charging stations without immediately expanding the grid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>resulting in higher sales of electricity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limitations-of-the-Fair-Share-Principle\"><\/span>Limitations of the Fair-Share Principle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The benefits of the fair-share principle diminish as grid connectivity becomes increasingly scarce, since the available charging power must be distributed among an ever-growing number of vehicles, and the power available per vehicle decreases accordingly. In such cases, supplementary measures such as battery storage, pre-charging storage, or peak shaving are advisable. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Relation-to-dynamic-charge-management\"><\/span>Relation to dynamic charge management<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dynamic charging management monitors the available power at the grid connection and distributes it according to a defined distribution logic.
