Smart and intelligent operation of networked charging infrastructures

Smart and intelligent operation of networked charging infrastructures

A charging station or a charging infrastructure is only as intelligent as its brain – the charge controller. The use of a smart charge controller is essential for the successful operation of a charging station.

How do you make your charging infrastructure even safer?

The 6 mA DC residual current detection according to IEC 62955 integrated in the CC613 charge controller detects DC residual currents in the controller and stops the charging process. The use of an RCD type B is not required, an RCD type A is sufficient. This makes individual charging points significantly more cost-effective.

Furthermore, DC residual current detection offers the great advantage of an automatic restart as soon as the fault is no longer present. This means that there is no need for a service technician to manually restart the charging station on site.

The weld check integrated in the CC613 outputs an error message in case of a "sticking" contactor or load switch. Since in this case the power supply is not interrupted and thus a life-threatening current can flow, the weld check provides increased personal protection.

To further increase the safety against electric shock, the CC613 ensures a proper connection of the protective conductor (PE) to the controller with continuous PE monitoring.

The integrated charging plug emergency opener offers the advantage that in the event of a power failure, the end user can safely disconnect the charging cable from the charging station without you having to be on site or the end user having to wait for a service technician.

When several charging stations are interconnected or in coordination with the Home Energy Management System (HEMS) and the Energy Management System (EMS), the integrated Dynamic Load Management (DLM) provides the maximum available power to the respective vehicle and avoids load unbalance.
The charging process is enabled by the backend system via Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP).
OCPP is a universal application protocol that enables standardised communication between the charging station and a central backend/management system.
Bidirectional communication with the ISO 15118 standard ensures a secure exchange of data between the vehicle and the charging station, thus enabling intelligent, automated control of the charging process.
Energy billing in kWh via the backend in compliance with measurement and calibration law.
Regular (e.g. quarterly) updates guarantee that the charging station always offers the latest functions and complies with current standards.

How do you make your charging station more compact and save space?

With the newly integrated 230-V control relay, the contactor can be switched directly with the CC613 for power release on the vehicle side. An additional relay is no longer necessary.

The emergency opener integrated in the charge controller also eliminates the need for a further additional component.

Thanks to the on-board 4G modem, the use of an additional mobile radio component is no longer necessary, thus saving additional space.

This makes your charging point much more compact and space-saving, which is a great advantage especially in underground garages or cramped car parks.

How can you implement your networked charging infrastructure easily and safely with efficient and dynamic load distribution?

The Ethernet interface integrated in the CC613 enables a very simple interconnection of the charge controllers via Ethernet, EEBUS or Modbus TCP. A connection to an energy management system can also be implemented via the external Modbus interface, with which the core functions of the CC613 can be controlled.

With the dynamic load management (DLM) integrated in the CC613, a higher-level control (energy management system) is no longer required to regulate the load management. This significantly reduces the overall costs of your networked charging infrastructure.

However, if a higher-level energy management system is available, the CC613 can be controlled by it, which enables the integration of the charge controller into existing charging infrastructures.

In addition, dynamic load management ensures smart and optimal distribution of the available power among all charging points. This prevents overloading of the network and thus damage to the electrical installation, thereby preventing a possible fire hazard.

The integrated Ethernet interface together with the integrated dynamic load management enables the operator to easily implement networked charging infrastructures that communicate with each other.

How do you keep your charging station up to date?

The CC613 guarantees compliance with standards. Regular software updates ensure that the latest standards are always taken into account and new functions are added to the controller, guaranteeing future proof operation of your charging station

Which communication standard makes your charging station future-proof?

The OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) 1.5 & 1.6 (JSON & SOAP) compliance provides you as an/the operator with two decisive advantages: On the one hand, your charging points can be integrated very easily into existing backend and roaming systems such as has-to-be, Virta, Plugsurfing, Hubject or others. On the other hand, you can offer the end user a very convenient authorisation option via RFID, app or Giro-e.

With its Powerline Communication Standard (PLC) according to ISO 15118, the CC613 enables your charging station to implement plug & charge, with which the simplified and direct connection of the electric vehicle to the charging station is possible.Authentication takes place automatically via the charging cable with the charge controller and thus facilitates the charging process including billing. In addition, bi-directional communication with the vehicle serves as the basis for intelligent connection to energy management systems.

The PLC guarantees a future-proof charging station and offers the end user comfortable charging of the electric vehicle.

Via the integrated 4G modem, you can connect your charging station directly to a backend and monitor the system, read out and, if necessary, directly correct errors and install remote software updates, thus making remote maintenance possible.

 

The CC613 is available in different variants. We can find the most cost-effective solution for your specific needs.
