• AC Charging– Requires on‐board power inverter
and BMS
– Power management shared
between vehicle and EVSE
– Generally lower power transfer
capabilities
• DC Charging– AC‐DC conversion performed off
board
– EVSE provides significant power
management.
– Generally higher power transfer
capabilities

• The Smart Grid is the increasingly “aware”
electrical distribution system
that can recognize and proactively manage against potential reliability
impacts (ie EV clustering)
• The Smart Grid is transactional
in nature, moving markets closer to end
users and enabling rapid response to market signals.
• Smart EVSE can interconnect as “end nodes”
to the Smart Grid, and thus
carry out critical EV charging power level adjustments based on grid
conditions monitored by the electric utility or ISO.
• Smart Grid is only as effective as the educated Smart Consumer who has
automated their recharging operation to “close the feedback loop”
and
enable preventive action to be taken.
• “Genius GridTM” is achieved when EV/EVSE resources are automatically
identified, authenticated, and proactively managed for bidirectional
power flow while achieving individual SOC target thresholds.

What Can Be Achieved With StAR‐smart charging?
• Owner of a StAR EVSE Can:– Automatically limit facility‐peak reinforcement to mitigate Demand Charges – Reduce the grid‐exposed load proportion based on TOU/CPP rates or DR events.– Power facility (s) with stored energy from their storage batteries and/or connected Evs– Load shift to lower cost energy TOU rate periods, consume more wind energy.– Utilize battery storage to service/participate in ISO Ancillary Svcs (Freq Reg or Voltage support)
• Electric Utility and ISO Can:– Load balance (DR) during Peak Load for Emergency or Economic dispatch– Deliver pricing signals for incenting customer behavior change.– Optimally plan distribution infrastructure upgrade and maintenance– Balance the intermittent nature of >20% Renewable energy through
Firming
• Government Regulators Can: – Obtain high quality data on economic benefits of Smart Grid investment– Determine best places to incent fixed storage within public EVSE
infrastructure investment– Establish and maintain meaningful Energy and Capacity markets for ensuring orderly clearing of
supply/demand

Demand Charge Impact (Example)Demand Charge Impact (Example)
• Tie storage to DC Fast charger to (1) reduce power demand or (2)
utilize
renewable generation.
• To reduce demand, envision a 20 kWh battery operating at 20 to 40kW
(1C to 2C discharge rate). This battery will discharge while the
vehicle is
charging to limit demand on the grid. After vehicle charging is complete,
the DC fast charger will charge the battery at a rate that will not increase
the peak demand of the facility, preparing it for the next vehicle charge.
• To utilize renewables, envision a 120 kWh battery that supplies all the
power and energy to charge a vehicle. This battery is charged at
night
from the grid using wind generated energy. It then discharges during the
day to provide vehicle charging.
• We will be developing one demo charger of each. Currently looking for
battery suppliers. Big battery probably a lead acid. Small battery probably
a used EV battery.

• Task 3.14: (Added January 2010) Test Procedure Development for Fast Chargers Utilizing
Energy Storage Fast chargers for on‐road EVs will soon appear that utilize energy storage. No
procedural methods currently exist to evaluate the performance of these chargers as used
with on‐road EVs. This task will conduct modelingconduct modeling
of a fast charger utilizing energy storage
and will conduct cycling of batteriesconduct cycling of batteries
to develop procedures for evaluation of energy
storage devices associated with on‐road EV fast chargers.
• A typical on‐road EV fast charger will be modeled to establish performance targets based on
system loads up to 100% of the total fast charging load for
– capacity, ‐
voltage range, ‐
maximum power output,
– cost, ‐
availability,
• Based on this modeling, a battery test cycle will be developed for testing batteries in the
laboratory, and the laboratory test cycle will then be trialed using three different battery
chemistries.
• A string of three battery cells from each chemistry will be cycled for a period of three months
to validate the test cycle. This testing will yield information on how each battery chemistry
reacts on the proposed test cycle and the ability of the test cycle to quantify battery
performance in on‐road EV fast charger energy storage duty.
•• DeliverableDeliverable: On‐Road EV Battery Fast Charger Energy Storage Device Test Procedure,
including a Laboratory Test Cycle and a report describing the validation of such procedure
• Status: Preliminary research into project has begun.
