Analysis on the effect of different charging standards on the charging process

This thesis core structure revolves around electric vehicle charging and charging infrastructure, especially the standards provided by the regulatory bodies in US and EU concerning it. Typically, when EV charging system is considered, it consists of charging point, a coupler/connector, on-board/off-board charger, and a battery pack that is charged via the charging station, and the standards provide a proper management and control system depending on the region or country to ensure proper communication between the EV and EV supply equipment (EVSE), also keeping in mind the safety/protection. To be precise, following are the topics that are discussed in this paper: • Charging: General idea behind EV batteries, terminology, charging strategies, connection between EV and EVSE, charging system and classification. • Charging Station: General idea behind the components used in a charging station and types of charging stations (AC/DC). • EV charger classification: Classification criteria, types of charger used, single/dual charger, reliability of a charger and impact of charger on the utility grid. • Charging Standards used in Europe and USA, differences between them and how they might affect the charging process. • Development of DC Fast Charging System and High Voltage Battery, working on the standard and communication based model. • Analysis of the faulted conditions mentioned by the standards i.e., short circuit and load dump theoretically and practically through the developed model. • Near to the future development phase considerations.
