Smart charging is the future
The smart charging module and environment developed by BroadBit creates an end-to-end connection between the electric vehicle and the charging point.
About
The charging process for electric cars has reached a new milestone. In addition to the simple charging that has been commonly used so far, the concept of smart charging has appeared, which has many new and expanded functions. Smart charging will be supported by all electric cars on the road in the next few years.
Smart charging is enabled by two globally supported standards families, ISO/IEC–15118 and OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol). The family of standards entitled ISO/IEC–15118: “Road vehicles – Vehicle and electrical network communication interface” defines the digital, IP-based communication interface between the electric vehicle (EV) and the charging station (EVSE). The mentioned standard enables a user-friendly “Plug & Charge” charging mechanism with the help of authentication, identification, settlement and flexible electricity control procedures.
Communications and control implementation
EV – Charging Point interface implementation compliant to the ISO/IEC 15118 protocol stack
Charging Point – CPO interface implementation compliant to the OCPP protocol
Data mapping between interfaces, database integration
Porting and integration support for embedded platforms
Support for both AC and DC chargers
Standards-compliant EV authentication
Compliance testing support for charging stations, with EV side emulation
Bi-directional charging support under development
How it works
The integration of V2G messages can be implemented in C or Java languages. The V2G message format is defined by the ISO/IEC 15118 standard: these XML encoded messages are transmitted in Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) binary XML format. We recommend using Objective-Sysems' XBinder XML to Code Generation tool, which comes with EXI support.
The V2G physical and link layers are defined by the IEC 61851 standard: we work with a standard-compliant interface link, supporting full stack integration.
