Abstract: A dynamic load management system for charging electric devices is provided. The system includes one or more smart outlets including one or more charging ports therein; a local control unit (LCU) coupled to the one or more smart outlets that includes a charging manager and receives stored data, monitored data and user input, wherein the charging manager processes the received stored data, monitored data and user input to generate a control command that is used to energize a charging port of the one or more charging ports or to change energy flow of a session; and an automatic load management (ALM) module in communication with the LCU and the one or more smart outlets, the ALM receiving real-time load data and load requests from the charging manager and providing a status to the charging manager to enable dynamic allocation of resources to the one or more smart outlets. The one or more smart outlets include a hardware safety switch that energizes or deenergizes responsive to signals from the LCU and/or the ALM.
