EVCS Connector Type

Image
  Common connectors include   Type 1 (Yazaki) ,   Type 2 (Mennekes) ,   Type 3 (Scame) ,   CCS Combo 1 and 2 ,   CHAdeMO , and Tesla. [22] [23]   Many standard plug types are defined in   IEC 62196 -2 (for AC supplied power) and 62196-3 (for DC supplied power): Type 1: single-phase AC vehicle coupler – SAE J1772/2009 automotive plug specifications Type 2: single- and three-phase AC vehicle coupler –  VDE-AR-E 2623-2-2 ,  SAE J3068 , and  GB/T  20234.2 plug specifications Type 3: single- and three-phase AC vehicle coupler equipped with safety shutters –  EV Plug Alliance  proposal Type 4: DC fast charge couplers Configuration AA:  CHAdeMO Configuration BB:  GB/T  20234.3 Configurations CC/DD: (reserved) Configuration EE:  CCS  Combo 1 Configuration FF:  CCS  Combo 2 CCS DC charging requires Powerline Communications (PLC). Two connectors are added at the bottom of Type 1 or Type 2 vehicle inlets and charging plugs to supply DC current. These are commonly known as Combo 1 or Combo 2 conne

Energy Storage Systems

  What is Energy Storage Systems? Energy Storage Systems  are the set of methods and technologies used to store energy. The stored energy can be drawn upon at a later time to perform useful operation. For instance, many renewable energy sources (such as wind, solar energy or solar energy, tides) are intermittent. Sometimes the use of renewable energy is not direct when the energy is available, but at other times. Then we need energy storage so that energy can be used when needed. Energy is available in various forms including radiation, chemical, gravitational potential, electrical potential, electricity, elevated temperature, latent heat and kinetic. There are various methods and technologies  to store various forms of energy. The choice of energy storage technology is typically dictated by application, economics, integration within the system, and the availability of resources. Energy storage systems are also involved in converting energy from forms that are difficult to store to for

Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (WEVCS) Technology

  Wireless Charging Technology Definition Wireless electric vehicle charging stations (WEVCS) technology is charging an electric car without involving cables that are directly related to the vehicles system. Wireless charging is done without a connector. The location of wireless charging is called a wireless electric vehicle charging station. There is no plug on WEVCS like charging in  standard EVCS . Wireless electric charger technology for electric cars is a recent development for charging batteries. The basic principle of an electric car charging or wireless charger system is the same as the working principle of the transformer. One of the advantages of wireless charger is that charging an electric car (vehicle) becomes safer and more convenient for users. Short Working Principle If the transformer has a primary and secondary side, then charging without WEVCS cable has a transmitter side and a receiver side. If the transformer has a primary (coil) winding and secondary winding, the

Electric Car Batteries and Characteristics

  Electric Car Batteries Electric car batteries are one of the most important components in a car system.   In  BEV  cars, batteries are the only “life”.   Because, only electrical energy stored in the battery is the only source of energy driving the BEV car.   There are no other sources.   The types of electric car batteries are also depends on the car system.   The most popular electric car battery used is lithium-ion.   Batteries that are considered zero emission abbreviated as ZEBRA.   The most suitable battery for hybrid electric cars is NiMH.   This article will explain at a glance about the different types of electric vehicle batteries and their characteristics along with a little about the Battery Management System (BMS)of an electric car. Types of  Electric Car  Batteries Electric car batteries are different from SLI batteries (starting, lightning and ignition).   SLI batteries are batteries that are usually installed in gasoline or diesel cars.   This type of electric cars ba
