18-01-2017 Version 0.8 * From xkcd.com (http://xkcd.com/927/) 18-01-2017 Version 0.8 ElaadNL Utrechtseweg 310 Gebouw B42 6812 AR Arnhem | The Netherlands www.elaad.nl | [email protected] Design tables 1-4: Shapeshifter.nl Graphics figures 1, 8, 14 and 16-25: Marcel Nahapiet 1 Executive summary Based on its practical experience, ElaadNL has come across many different protocols within the Electrical Vehicle (EV) domain. The interaction supported by these protocols consists of exchanging information ranging from authorization identifications (ID) to charge point locations, but also of sending commands for charging control. In this study, a selection of protocols encountered by ElaadNL is discussed. These protocols and the relation to the different roles in the EV market are visualized in the figure below: In the figure above many protocols are shown, even multiple occurrences of the same protocol between different roles are visible. At different locations, the use of different combinations of protocols were found, including a number of different protocols for similar functionality. From ElaadNL’s role as a knowledge and innovation center in the field of EV charging, this study aims to give more insight in a set of protocols that is currently in use in Europe and to clarify their relationship to the electricity grid. This study addresses the question which (set of) protocol(s) is best applicable for which functionality in different types of situations. To be able to do this, this study also identifies for each of these protocols which functionalities it supports and how it scores on interoperability, maturity, market adoption and openness. This study has led to the following summary of use cases supported by the different protocols1: 1 O Operating Charge Point using 61850-90-8: only the basics Smart Charging in OCHP: only OCHPdirect and only basics Smart Charging in eMIP: only 1 OEM (so only 1 car brand) 2 The protocol score on the properties of interoperability, maturity, market adoption and openness is summarized in the following overview: This study also confirms that many combinations of protocols are possible, a number of which are discussed in this study. No combination of protocols is considered a “silver bullet” for all current and future situations. However, some main conclusions that can be drawn are that: the next step for roaming protocols seems to be the addition / extension of smart charging functionality. a choice is to be made whether point-to-point protocols or a clearing house type of communication is to be pursued, or perhaps both. an important smart charging aspect of 15118 is the retrieval of the state of charge. In some cases, this information can also be retrieved via OEM platforms but only through specific, non-standardized interfaces. For the short term a next step in the protocols related to smart charging, could be the addition of connections to different OEM platforms for getting this state of charge using an open standard. When looking at the current state of the protocols under consideration, it is recommended to put more work in the smart charging aspects of the existing roaming protocols and to take a next step in roaming platforms (e.g. connecting, merging). In order to accelerate the adoption of smart charging, the state of charge and time of departure are crucial pieces of information. For getting the state of charge it is recommended to focus on open protocols to include OEMs in the EV domain. In the longer term, the ISO / IEC 15118 protocol seems to be an alternative for this, this protocol however does not seem to be implemented in the short term. The first EV’s with ISO / IEC 15118 basic functionality (“plug & charge”) are expected in mid-2018. When the time of departure is needed, communication with the EV user might be necessary, either directly or via the EV (ISO / IEC 15118). A new protocol could be of use here, but this choice is left to the commercial parties in the EV market. If a protocol is desirable, an “open” 3 protocol should be preferred to avoid lack of adoption due to interoperability issues. When purely looking at protocols, communicating grid limits or dynamic prices is already possible. However, current legislation in most countries is not yet prepared for dynamic pricing or setting grid limits from a power system operator. It is recommended that this legislation is changed (perhaps even equalized) to make it possible to utilize the flexibility EVs have to offer to the energy transition. 4 Contents 1.

The U.S. Government assumes no liability for the contents or use thereof. Current State-of-the-Art of EV Chargers Volker Schwarzer, Reza Ghorbani February 2015 1. Abstract Recent reports of utility providers have shown that under certain circumstances the integration of renewable energy sources might cause damaging Transient Over-Voltages (TOV) in the power grid. With the rising availability of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in residential neighborhoods, the potential of EV batteries for TOV reduction is being examined. This report analyses the current state-of-the-art EV charger technology with respect to utilized charging technologies and their capabilities to mitigate over- voltages. Furthermore, power ratings of charging systems, including maximum power influx control and communication strategies, are analyzed. Corresponding time constraints, as well as system response times are also determined.

  • Evaluation of OCPP and IEC 61850 for Smart Charging Electric Vehicles
    World Electric Vehicle Journal Vol. 6 - ISSN 2032-6653 - © 2013 WEVA Page Page 0863 EVS27 Barcelona, Spain, November 17 - 20, 2013 Evaluation of OCPP and IEC 61850 for Smart Charging Electric Vehicles Jens Schmutzler1, Claus Amtrup Andersen2, Christian Wietfeld1 1Dortmund University of Technology, Communication Networks Institute, Dortmund, Germany, EMails: [email protected], [email protected] 2EURISCO Research & Development, Odense, Denmark, EMails: [email protected] Abstract Interoperability of charging infrastructures is a key success factor for E-Mobility. Standards like ISO/IEC 15118 and IEC 61851-1 are developed to ensure base level interoperability of front-end com- munication and signaling processes for smart charging between electric vehicles and charge spots. With the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) a forum of European industry members also moves towards a common back-end protocol for charge spots intending to reduce and secure overall investment costs. However, in the current form OCPP lacks means for enabling grid services based on smart charging. In this paper the authors provide a review of today’s state of the art in ISO/IEC standardization of the V2G Interface and furthermore detail how OCPP could leverage existing standardization efforts for grid automation from IEC 61850 in order to overcome its shortcomings. Keywords: Smart Charging, OCPP, IEC 61850, ISO/IEC 15118, Vehicle-to-Grid Communication Interface, V2G 1 Introduction beneficial to standardize back-end integration as- pects of charging infrastructures in the long term. With the introduction of EVs certain challenges According to the European Commission’s cli- arise for the power grid since it was deployed mate and energy targets set in 2007 as well as at times, when such additional loads were not following directives like 2009/28/EC [1] on the yet considered.

Sales figures are approximately doubling each year, and the growth is projected to continue. The goal is to have 20 million electric vehicles on the roads by 2020. In order to reach this goal, it is now time to make intelligent choices for the next-generation electric drive technologies. One major challenge with electric vehicles is range anxiety. This project investigates AC fast-charging as a means of mitigating range anxiety while lowering total cost of electric vehicle roll-outs. The benefit of AC charging is that it allows vehicles to charge from an inexpensive AC charging station feeding power directly from the electric grid to the vehicle. Charge rates up to 43kW in Europe and 52kW in US are supported with standard AC cord sets.
