These were used as input by project partners to help define their future strategies for interoperability assessment. In this way, a first approach of that vision is presented at the current stage of the project and it will be further defined through the rest of tasks to come. The summary of the state of art analysis is presented below classified by aspects related to the Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) layers (Smart Grid Coordination Group approach): Regulation: it sets the highest level framework for the development of activities in a region and therefore it has a relevant impact on the development of both regulated and private business models. Even if harmonisation is being pursued at EU level, structural differences exist between countries resulting in diverse market conditions, which are characterised by players' roles, electricity system operation procedures, small consumers' participation in energy markets, low voltage codes, etc. This poses risks for interoperability. Business: business models rely on product and/or service sale. Those related to e-mobility have to take into account ICT requirements in order to estimate costs. Several solutions exist and companies will deploy the ones suiting better their models, e.g., end-to-end communications involving many different stakeholders might be required. Services/Functions: they are the basis of business models. Use cases can be utilized to describe them, at high level or in a more detailed way going down to, for example, data exchange definition. Services definition permits to know the required interactions between components (stakeholders or systems) and the functions that will have to be covered. Communication and information: the interaction between components requires the use of communication and information protocols. This is a fundamental aspect to achieve interoperability. The state of art analysis permitted to identify candidates for the communication between stakeholders, considering not just the e-mobility but other related domains, such as the smart grid, ITS and home automation. The next Figure 1 shows this outcome. Components: they can refer to devices, applications, persons and organizations. They will use communication and information protocols to exchange data and they will carry out the functionalities required to fulfil services. Similarities may exist between the devices or applications of different stakeholders and this helps simplify, up to certain extent, the interoperability problem. D1.3 4-59 EU Project no. 608934 Figure 1 Information protocols summary This state of the art information helped COTEVOS partners define their vision and present strategy in the e-mobility interoperability assessment field. The interfaces between stakeholders together with the available communication and information protocols were reviewed and evaluated, mainly by partners who will offer testing services in the future. As it would be expected, the diverse points of view are not uniform, leading to complementarity within the project. The following Table 1 summarizes partners' opinions and strategy. The latter is represented by the protocols that will be presumably implemented in laboratory environments (last column). The vision on standardization relevance of the interfaces between actors, as well as on the expected market interest and implementation costs for each of them, is summed up in columns 3 to 6 in the table. Possible answers for concept assessment were limited to High (H), Medium (M) or Low (L).

In order to benefit from the complementarity of COTEVOS partners' approaches, sharing infrastructures through remote internet connections (cloud) could be an interesting option to move towards a unified laboratory concept and contribute to the cost effectiveness of test procedures. D1.3 6-59 EU Project no. 608934 Other several ongoing developments within the project are also paving the way towards the setting up of the unified laboratory: o Common conceptual approach. o Common laboratory reference architecture. o Definition of test cases and testing procedures. o Inter-laboratory comparison. o The presentation of results for evaluation in the international arena.

The document includes proposals to ‘harmonize’ the two standards by adapting or extending existing information models and/or defining new models, where such changes will enable more effective communication. This paper explains the key mapping principles and some of the recommendations for future editions of the standards. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? The smart grid initiatives in the USA, Europe and Asia Figure 1: Data models for Smart Grids Architectural have all recognized the necessity to establish solid Methodology standards for communicating between all the "smart" devices. For interoperability purposes, it has been Several studies [3] and reports [4,5] have already been recognized, at an early stage, that widely shared semantics produced on the subject of harmonization, but failed to get to describe power systems would be necessary.

This document is a project report issued and disseminated under the sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s University Transportation Centers Program. 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.

BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master's thesis Author Kaarle Patomäki Title of thesis Simulation Tool Based Structural Text Generation for Programmable Logic Controllers Master programme Mechanical Engineering Code ENG25 Thesis supervisor Associate Professor Kari Tammi Thesis advisor(s) Juuso Kelkka, M. Sc. (Tech.) Date 23.7.2020 Number of pages 50+8 Language English Abstract Model-based design is a relatively new technique of developing software for embedded systems. It aims to reduce the cost of the software development process by generating the code from a simulation model. The code is generated automatically using a tool that is developed for this purpose. This way the errors in the system can be found and eliminated early in the development process compared to traditional software development project for embedded systems. As mentioned, the tools are at the time of this study still relatively new, and especially when considering code that has to comply with functional safety standards, the code has to fulfill certain requirements and it has to be clear enough so that it can be traced back to each function of the model. This study aims to determine how well these methods can be used with software development for embedded systems in mind. More precisely, this thesis focuses on MathWorks’ Simulink as the modelling software, and CODESYS as the coding language of the programmable logic controller and ultimately the compatibility of these with each other.
