As a new and emerging industry, EV charging infrastructure presents a large and complex domain for engineers who have little to no experience working in this area. What are the key EV charging standards that engineers need to know? What protocols do engineers need to understand? What are the regulations and how do they differ by region? How do these standards, rules, and guidelines interoperate to ensure reliable, interoperable, safe, and secure EV charging?
This course facilitates the use standards and best practices to build a foundation for how and when to use them. It will also introduce communication protocols that establish rules and guidelines for how EV Chargers (EVSE) operate and communicate. The course also includes global regulations according to geographic regions and how they impact engineering and business decisions.
As this domain is complex, with many standards, regulations, and protocols governing it, this course focuses on the primary standards within the U.S. and European markets. The standards included are:
- J1772: SAE Electric Vehicle and Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Conductive Charge Coupler
- ISO15118: Road vehicles — Vehicle to grid communication interface
- DIN SPEC 70121: Digital comm. between a D.C. EV charging station and an electric vehicle for control of D.C. charging in the Combined Charging System
- IEC 61851: Electric vehicle conductive charging system
- IEEE 2030.5: Smart Energy Profile Application Protocol
- IEEE 1547: Interconnection and Interoperability of Distributed Energy Resources with Associated Electric Power Systems Interfaces
The protocols included are:
- Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP)
- Open Charge Point Interface (OCPI)
Other notable topics included are:
- Public Key Infrastructure
- Overview of Open plug-and-charge
- Content
By successfully completing this course, learners will be able to:
- Interpret best practices outlined in J1772, ISO15118, DIN SPEC 70121, OCPP, OCPI, Combined Charging System Type 1 & 2 (CCS), GB/T, IEEE 2030.5, SAE V2G, IEEE 1547, and IEC 61851
- Differentiate the areas of EV infrastructure governed by each applicable standard
- Indicate how charging standards interoperate, overlap, impact, and affect content from related EV charging standards and protocols
- Recognize how the vehicle is impacted by the utilization of charging standards
- Summarize EVSE communication protocols (OCPP, OCPI) that enable communication and data exchange
- Recite applicable global regulations according to geographic regions and how they impact engineering and business decisions
