Regenerative High-Power, Electric-Vehicle Simulator and Tester

Regenerative High-Power, Electric-Vehicle Simulator and Tester

An outdoor rated device designed to simulate an Electric Vehicle (EV) to test dc fast chargers or ultra-fast chargers. Solution is capable of EV communications using CCS1 or CCS2 EV chargers. The solution can emulate an end-to-end EV charging process up to the rated dc capacity of the EV charger without the use of a battery-based storage system.

 

Overview

Applications: 

  • DC fast and ultra-fast charger testing including:
    • Safety and functional testing (following IEC 61851).
    • Interoperability and conformance testing (CharIN-CCS, ISO 15118).
    • Analysis of vehicle-to-grid integration (VGI) and any impact on host systems (SAE J2894).
    • Cybersecurity testing of EV chargers, using a third-party controller interface.

Why use a simulator?

Limits of Existing Alternatives:

  • Limited charging power due to available cars in market.
  • Fixed battery characteristics per EV.
  • Tests repeatability issues due to inability to set initial
    conditions.
  • Safety concerns with EVSE failure during tests.

How Can Our Solution Help?

  • High-power testing up to 500 kW, 1,000 V, 500 A dc.
  • Adjustable user-specific battery characteristics.
  • Adjustable test conditions offering easy repeatability.
  • Designed for testing chargers with safety features.

Features and Benefits

  • High-power testing.
  • Built-in library of EVs with selectable initial condition.
  • Regenerative / minimizing losses during simulations.
  • Programmable and repeatable test procedures.
  • Provides interface for third-party controllers.
  • Compliant with ISO 15118 dc EV communication, with IEC 61851-23 for CCS2 coupler interface, and SAE J1772 for CCS1 coupler interface.

Operating modes:

Automatic mode:

This mode may be used for simulating the charging process of a typical EV using different battery curves available in solution’s library. This mode is mainly used for functional and interoperability testing of EV chargers.

Profiling mode:

This mode allows the operator to upload user-defined charging profiles to investigate the impact on fast chargers, as well as the impact of different charging patterns on the host distribution system.

Manual / third-party mode:

In this mode, the user can utilize the third-party interface provided by the solution for testing external EV control units (CU) or cybersecurity testing of DC fast and ultra-fast chargers.
