SUCCESSFUL EVSE TESTING WITH PHIHONG – A TAIWAN-BASED EV CHARGER MANUFACTURER
Prepared By Konnectiva
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
Konnectiva LLP, a Kolkata-based startup dedicated to developing EV Charging Station Management systems for various global customers, has recently achieved a successful
testing milestone with a Taiwan-based EV Charger Manufacturer, PHIHONG. The testing covered a range of AC and DC chargers, energy storage, and power engines.
To ensure seamless interoperability, Konnectiva utilized the same setup for testing communication protocols between real EVs and charging stations, as well as various combinations of EVs and EVSEs. The testing results were outstanding, providing
valuable quantitative insights beyond a simple pass/fail outcome. Threshold limits and error cases, including the load dump test simulating a power line break during charging, were thoroughly assessed to ensure the comprehensive evaluation of the EVSE.
In a growing communication landscape between IT systems in distributed architectures, standardized communication interfaces offer the energy and utility industry a cost-effective open solution.
For the energy IT environments, ensuring smooth interoperability among components and devices from different manufacturers becomes crucial. Communication standards are a fundamental requirement to establish open infrastructures and device interoperability.
Key features of OCPP 2.0.1 Testing include:
a) Device management
b) Scalable transaction handling
c) Enhanced security
d) Advanced smart charging
e) Multiple authorization methods
f) Plug and charge functionality
By adhering to these standards, the energy and utility industry can achieve seamless communication, ensuring efficient operation and optimal performance.
Furthermore, Konnectiva’s solutions have been instrumental in setting up chargers in various locations in Japan and Canada.
During the charger integration testing, the basic communication between the charger and CSMS system included the following:
a) Authorization
b) Boot Notification
c) Change Availability
d) Change Configuration
e) Get Configuration
f) Heartbeat
g) Meter Value
h) Remote Start
i) Remote Stop
While performing the integration testing, Konnectiva also assisted Their customer in developing an advanced CSMS and EV mobile apps for their customers.
This successful collaboration and testing with PHIHONG underscore Konnectiva’s commitment to providing innovative and reliable EV Charging Station Management solutions.
