BiLawE

Bidirectional inductive charging station for electric vehicles

Electric vehicles (EV) have the potential to contribute to stabilization of the electrical grid and integration of renewable energies into the grid. Intelligent charging schedules can adapt the charging power according to current energy supply and gird situation. In BiLawE a bidirectional inductive charging system is developed, which also provides vehicle-2-grid (V2G) services and reactive power compensation. Our part is the development of the communication infrastructure between electric vehicle, charging station and car park management system. OpenMUC is used as communication controller inside the electric vehicle (EVCC) and inside the charging station (SECC).

OpenMUC Applications

SECC

  • Monitoring reactive power of the micro grid via Modbus TCP
  • OCPP client for communicating with car park management system
  • CAN driver for data exchange between supply equipment power electronics, power factor correction and foreign object detection
  • Wireless ISO 15118 communication between SECC and EVCC
  • ISO 15118 based sequence control, which is fed by data from CAN, OCPP, Modbus.

EVCC

  • CAN driver for data exchange between electric vehicle power electronics, battery management system, positioning system
  • Wireless ISO 15118 communication between SECC and EVCC
