Integrating e-vehicles into modern infrastructures

Orgalime is pleased to welcome you to a workshop and exhibition of technologies which will make the e-vehicle become an important element of the smart grid.

The European engineering industries, represented by Orgalime are the only industrial sector possessing system level expertise in all parts of the system chain – from power generation and the transport and distribution of electric power, to the control and drive elements fitted to vehicles. The electric car is part of the new world of energy. The e-car and the associated charging and support infrastructure are an integral part of this whole system. It is in this area that new developments and opportunities exist for modern European infrastructures and service markets.

In the long run the future will belong to green vehicles. Gasoline prices are reaching astronomical levels, European society is increasingly aware of the need to reduce emissions and to increase the share of renewable energies and the share of electricity produced from renewables. The European electrical equipment manufacturing industries, offer the technical solutions & services. They are developing a vision for e-mobility where electric vehicles will become a part of a smarter electricity grid which can accommodate more renewables. These technologies and breakthrough innovations - if promoted and implemented on a massive scale - will help to make transport and electricity production more sustainable.

The showcase exhibition of technologies around the e-car will give you a flavour of available technologies for charging and support infrastructures and tomorrow’s smart charging and smart grids solutions for the e-car.

The workshop will debate practical lessons learnt from ongoing e-mobility projects and highlight the role of electrical equipment manufacturing industries. Which are the requirements for infrastructure today and in the future from the user and industry point of view? What is needed from policymakers and industry to ensure timely and adequate “roll-out” of infrastructure? These and other questions will be tackled from the perspective of Orgalime industries in particular, the European Institutions and Member States.

What Moves People ...Infrastructure for E-mobility

Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) – which include electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles –provide a new opportunity for reducing both carbon emissions and oil consumption by drawing power from the electric grid. The widespread adoption will present challenges – and opportunities – for the electricity system. Power demand from PEVs could increase demands on power plants and transmission lines and strain transformers and switching equipment in neighbourhoods with the highest PEVs concentrations. To maximize the benefits of PEVs, the emerging PEV charging infrastructure solutions must not only ensure safety, but also provide access to clean electricity and satisfy all stakeholder expectations.

According to all current experiments and existing surveys, the majority of recharging is expected to be at home and work. At a local level, the major challenge involves enabling PEVs to be charged safely and conveniently without adversely impacting on local distribution equipment nor the electrical installation of the building itself. Today, more than ever, consumers and businesses need effective and affordable solutions for managing their energy consumption and costs.

Hager, as one of the leading suppliers of systems and solutions for electrical installations in residential and commercial buildings is developing a new area of business, providing the infrastructure for electric mobility and supplying power to vehicles.

Because PEV loads may need to be managed to avoid increases in peak demand charges, and to optimise the energy efficient charging process, Hager expects in the near future that charging stations should become a fully-fledged element of the electrical installation in households and buildings. “We expect this new application to integrate itself smoothly into the building and infrastructure and it will make a contribution towards ‘Smart Grids’ and more efficient energy,” says Daniel Hager, Chairman of the Hager Group.

Benefiting from this showcase event, Hager presents its EV charging infrastructure solutions. By highlighting convenient user-friendly solutions for both German and French markets, Hager wishes to encourage off-peak charging and establish added best practises for an efficient safe charging at home & work. Because the most effective PEV recharging solution is provided by the charging Mode 3 (IEC-EN 61851-1) with a Type 2 or Type 3 connection (IEC 62196-1 & -2), Hager promotes the use of charging Mode 3 to provide the highest safety level, the greatest opportunities to optimise the PEV load and the best interaction with the electrical installation.

About Hager GroupAn independent family-run concern, Hager Group is a leading supplier of systems, solutions and services for electrical installations. Its range of services extends from energy distribution to wiring and from smart building automation to security technology – for installation in residential, commercial and industrial properties. Hager Group now has a total workforce of 11,200 employees, runs distribution centres in more than 55 countries and produces at 20 different sites all over the world.

Creating a platform for intelligent electric mobility at the European level – The German electrical and electronical industry’s commitment

The successful deployment of electric mobility in Europe has the potential to support EU policy priorities, in particular climate protection, the security of energy supply and the competitiveness of European industries. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is one of the main tasks facing policymakers, society and industry – and a European chance. With its efficient and energy-intelligent technologies, the electrical and electronical industry provides a significant contribution in this regard.

Looking back to 2008, the ELECTRA report “Twenty solutions for growth and investment to 2020 and beyond” outlined technologies and solutions to address the EU’s energy efficiency and CO2 reduction targets. The European Commission, in its ELECTRA Communication “For a competitive and sustainable electrical engineering industry in the European Union” issued on 29 October 2009 comments extensively on the electric car. European regulators see that the electric vehicle has a role to play, in particular due to the high potential to reduce carbon emissions of the transport sector: electric-mobility is therefore likely to be taken up by most Member States in their national energy strategies.

The German electrical industry covers almost all components for the electric vehicle: from the motor to the various electronic systems to the vital energy-storing high-energy battery. The necessary infrastructure, the power charging station with the very latest in control and regulating software is a domain of the manufacturers in ZVEI.

The battery plays an important role within the development of electric mobility. It can also be used to feed energy back into the grid whenever the price for control energy or balancing energy is particularly high. Thus, a smart grid also requires a next generation of lithium-ion batteries to be designed in such a way that this kind of operation has no effect on the energy storage system’s service life.

Although the electric vehicle and electric mobility is seen as a promising area of technological development, there are a number of issues raised by the development of this technology. Therefore, coordination between politics, society and different industry sectors is essential in order to build the necessary infrastructure for a market for electric vehicles and to link up with regulators and standardization.

The “ZVEI - German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association“ promotes the industry’s joint economic, technological and environmental policy interests on a national, European and global level. The ZVEI represents more than 1,600 companies, mostly SMEs, with round about 815,000 employees in Germany in 2010, plus 600,000 employees all over the world.

The Charging Plug Interface for Power and Communication

Electric Mobility opens up the opportunity to put our vision of emission-free motor traffic into reality and hits the targets of CO2-reduction in future.

But to tap the full potential of e-Mobility setting up an infrastructure which is able to provide communication between utilities, a charging infrastructure and electric vehicles is crucial. Thus, the so-called Smart Grid must be achieved.

In addition to the important element of a unified charging interface according to IEC 61851, charging mode 3, there is also a very need for standardised charging plugs at the interface between vehicle and grid.

The International Electrotechnical Commission IEC has finalized the technical specification of the charging plug system for electric vehicles (EVs) in IEC 62196, parts 1 to 3. Choosing the right technique as defined in the IEC standard will be one key-factor for the success of e-Mobility.

The outcome must be a uniform EU solution which reduces the variety in the market, grants safety and interoperability and supports maximum ease of use. All manufacturers of electric vehicles as well as of charging infrastructure need a reliable commitment on the most promising and the best technical solution for connecting electric vehicles. Furthermore artificial restrictions to possible fast charging must be avoided.

To match all expectations from all bodies the Type 2 plug system was defined in the IEC 62196.

According to the European Low-Voltage-Directive the Type 2 plug system provides exceptional European harmonized safety. Deploying an automated interlock device on the car and infrastructure side and processing defined safety checks before energizing the connection keeps it absolutely safe for the user.

Additionally to the extraordinary safety never seen before in low voltage electric installations, it also prevents vandalism. Reliable contact overlap guarantees low contact resistance and excellent contact guidance in the long term. Together with the permanent monitoring of the interlock and protective earth a durable and safe operation is guaranteed.

Since the Type 2 plug system does not need any exposed mechanically moving parts functionality is guaranteed throughout all outdoor conditions, even when freezing in depth of winter. Damage – even by accidentally driving over the plug – is nearly impossible.

Finally an interoperable connector is needed to meet essential communication requirements for intelligent charging profiles, combining AC and DC charging capability.

Battery system improvements in near future will allow car manufacturers to pass on to higher charging rates. Experts see high potential for DC charging as well. In IEC standardisation activities for a DC connector system are pushed forward to a high degree. The so called COMBO connector is dedicated to DC charging at high currents and compatible to Type 2 connectors.

The ACEA has opted to a cost effective solution combining all the features given by the Type 2 and COMBO plug system. Sustainable investments are in the common interest of all involved parties of e-Mobility.

The Type 2 and COMBO plug system gives the freedom and high flexibility to provide a wide range of charging power levels to the consumers all over Europe.

The ZVEI, representing a cross-section of the German electrical and electronics industry, is a pacesetter oftechnical progresswith recommendations for research, technology, control, environmental protection, health,educationandsciencepolicies.HARTING, MENNEKES, PHOENIX CONTACT and WALTHER WERKE are members of the ZVEI and highly engaged in developing convenient and reliable solutions for electric mobility.


For an immediate interoperability of charging infrastructures of electric vehicles at the European level – the French electric industry’s commitment

European Commission DG Enterprise has expressed the need in 468 mandate to achieve rapidly interoperability for the charging of electrically chargeable vehicles. French electrical equipment manufacturers and installers suggest a simple solution to meet expectations and constraints of all the actors concerned by the deployment of electric vehicles in Europe.

The Focus Group of CEN CENELEC could not conclude on a unique type of socket for the charging infrastructure side. In addition, European car manufacturers’ agenda, is to unify the connector type on the vehicle by 2017 ; in the interim, a transition solution must be proposed, notably for public charging spots.Henceforth, the French electric industry advocates a transition solution up to 2017, that will provide simple and immediate interoperability for cross borders mobility, using the flexibility provided by the charging cord. It is materialized in a connection cable which will be available for users on public charge spots. This cord, secured to the spot (to avoid vandalism or theft) but not permanently connected to the socket, would be used by foreigners (and potentially by local users) just as local users use their private cord to connect. This solution is already used in several car-sharing deployments. For private charging infrastructures in residential and tertiary building, the same jumper lead connector device can be considered. This solution guarantees both European interoperability, users’ security, complying with all current national regulations, flexibility to cope with the variety of car connectors and avoids users the burden of an additional cable for cross border mobility.

After the transition period, when car connector is finally unified, this solution can smoothly evolve to a lead attached to the charge port, with the only condition of integrating standardized protections in order to guarantee users’ security.

Manufacturing eMobility

Bosch as an innovative automotive supplier with a 125year history is playing a decisive role in paving the way to electromobility. Technologies, components, and systems for electrical drives are now being developed under the double-armature brand, and in some cases already being manufactured.

Electromobility holds out great potential for Bosch - not only for its traditional systems and components business, but also when it comes to opening up new business areas. One example is the development of an innovative e-mobility infrastructure. Bosch Software Innovations GmbH is developing a software platform for charging electric vehicles as well as for reserving charge spots and billing for the energy used. Bosch Software Innovations charge spots interface both with the electricity provider’s grid and with the end user.

Bosch Software Innovations – Developing solutions for e-mobility infrastructuresBosch Software Innovations develops a web-based software solution for charging infrastructure. The eMobility Solution serves as a common software and IT platform for all e-mobility stakeholders including electric utilities, charging spot manufacturers, mobility service providers, fleets, electric vehicle manufacturers and parking lot managers to single drivers. It enables the efficient realization of open business models. The eMobility Solution supports and integrates all the core processes for the eMobility infrastructure including:

• identification of drivers and charging of electric vehicles (EVs)• billing of energy consumption and services (e.g. connection to ERP system)• finding and reserving charging stations• navigating EVs to charging stations• managing load of charging station groups (demand side management) • collecting vehicle data for analyzing purposes• operating and maintaining charging infrastructure• offline operations to ensure reliable charging in the event of connectivity failure in the public network

By means of an open, flexible, and scalable architecture, the eMobility Solution can also be used to support other services in the urban area: e.g. intermodal mobility concepts or location based services.

Be welcome at 2:00 pm to listen to Dr. Thomas Weber, Director of Sales, in charge of Bosch Software Innovations GmbH, presenting the “Singapore Charging Infrastructure Project”.

Robert Bosch Benelux is looking forward to meet potential business partners, stake- and shareholders in order to build up an efficient and highly sustainable solution for modern infrastructures in the Benelux region.


Increased mobility with reduced CO2 footprint

2050 scenarioToll and tax systems based on Emission Certificates have now ensured emission free mobility of people and goods in mega cities. Smart commute management includes all transportation means in cities and suburbs. From a cautious start in 2011, the year 2015 showed a break-through. Only 100% electric driven vehicles have access to low emission zones. Given the requirements imposed by European law on emissions and safety the Smart Grid developments rapidly enabled today’s low and zero emission transport.

The current charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, both conventional and fast-charging, is now common up to the Megawatt range at every building and street corner. The network is a hundred times denser than the 2011 availability of fossil fuel service stations. Companies like Eaton Corporation strongly believed in the current concept and enabled this development over the years.

2011 state The current market drivers are clear, as are the connected challenges to find suitable solutions and matching products to meet the growing demand for electric mobility. Low emissions zones being implemented in cities, rapidly rising energy costs are the main market incentives. The effect of a green image is apparently declining and is more and more replaced by the need for innovation. The green message however strongly contributed to customer acceptance of the E-mobility concept, provided that an infrastructure for clean energy is within reach. A condition for this development will still be to maintain safety, comfort and function.

Eaton’s electric and hydraulic power solutions power commercial vehicles efficiently. A total of over 240 million kilometers is now logged, with more than 3,200 hybrid vehicles on the road. Today the Western European market for 7.5 to 15 tons vehicles shows an increase of 76,000 vehicles per year, of which less than 1% are hybrids.

Eaton’s booth showcaseOn display will be a cut-away show model of Eaton’s state-of-the-art hybrid drive. At the electrical side of the business the Eaton approach to Smart Grid connections will be highlighted, including the concept of electrical vehicle charging stations

Ingeteam’s business is built on the foundations of R&D, in which over 5% from turnover was invested in 2010.

Ingeteam’s vision for the electric vehicle charging infrastructure translates into the design of EV charging stations with complete communication capabilities between the vehicle, the charging station and the infrastructure, and a clear bet for mode 3 charging for public and private uses. Thus, Ingeteam has developed a wide set of standardized solutions for different ranges, guaranteeing the safe charge of EVs. Ingeteam’s large experience at renewable energies is an asset for reliable matching of charging operations with electricity generation.

Ormazábal was founded in 1967, and since then it has been an engine for innovation in the electrical distribution sector in the medium voltage segment, working closely with power companies around the world. Ormazábal’s growth relies on its personnel (over 1 500 employees), their knowledge and commitment, to establish mutually beneficial relationships with clients and suppliers. Ormazábal’s management is based on solid values: flexibility, leadership, innovation, pragmatism and support.

Ormazábal’s core portfolio is specialized at designing and manufacturing MV equipment, and has regarded EV as one of the driving forces of the smart grid. Ormazabal’s strategy has focused on the design of a new generation of medium voltage distribution transformers, including protection, telemanagement and communication of electrical networks.

Both Ingeteam and Ormazábal are also members of the Spanish cluster for EV infrastructure (Aedive), an initiative launched by Sercobe as a proof of the commitment of Spanish industry with the promotion of the e-mobility in the context of smart cities. Sercobe and the Spanish manufacturers are aligning their developments to the Spanish action plan for the implementation of the EV and fully support the EU strategy by active players in different programmes and projects funded by the European Commission.

All three partners from Spain will be delighted to share their vision of a more efficient de-carbonized mobility as key part of smarter cities in the Orgalime event.


Beyond E-mobility Technology The growing number of electric vehicles is driving a global market opportunity for charging solutions including supporting technologies to equip the electrical grid with more sophisticated monitoring systems and software. E-mobility charging station unit sales are expected to multiply rapidly over the next five years, and reach 1.6 million units globally by 2015, according to Pike Research.

The market up till now has been focused on availability of cars and the availability of infrastructure. ABB thinks we have passed the critical stage of availability and roll-out now. The next move which is of crucial importance for the roll-out of e-mobility at large is to ensure that the infrastructure can service all types of electric cars.

The infrastructural solution has to be a multi-protocol solution – one that can cope with multiple standards at the same time. At the moment, we have the Japanese standard – CHAdeMO - which is used by Nissan. That’s the prevailing standard because the cars are available. But over the next year or year-and-a-half, you’ll see more European and US cars coming on the market. This will lead to a situation somewhat comparable in the fossil fuel domain, where you have a choice of diesel, regular and propane and no more.

There are a lot of political games and forward pricing games here, so we need to tread very carefully. It’s of crucial importance that this proliferation of electric cars happens in the right way and with an infrastructure that can service all of them. A charging service provider has a local focus and should be able to charge any EV from a single service platform. A car-OEM has a global focus and should be able to deliver e-vehicles with its preferred charging standard. The charging infrastructure bridges the two domains and this leads to an infrastructure with open web-based interfaces to local service platforms and a limited number of connectors for different charging standards. This is the key item for the next couple of years. The roll-out of e-vehicles will happen anyway, regardless. But for it to happen in the right way, with the maximum momentum in the market, it requires open standards and an awareness that a single global charging connector is only used in Utopia.

ABB’s showcaseABB’s DC fast-charging stations have been in commercial use since May 2010, and reduce charging time to 15 minutes compared to 6-8 hours using a standard alternating current (AC) charger outlet. Both AC and DC systems are part of the ABB E-mobility portfolio.

ABB’s equipment and software also enables the charging station owner to monitor conditions and requirements of the station, linking billing and administrative needs. It provides a range of different charging methods for each of the station connections, enabling it to tailor charging to various start conditions, power requirements and charging times.

From electric vehicle to a smarter gridThe electric vehicle is emerging as a key solution to one of our biggest energy challenge: the impact of transportation on our environment. The smart grid will be one of the keys to a cleaner transportation future and widespread adoption of electric vehicles by consumers and the construction of the charging infrastructure will be a significant contribution to the smart grid.

The key success factor: energy management solutions

The charging infrastructure that will be built must be totally safe, reliable, and must provide efficient energy management solutions that meet users’ charging and availability needs while helping facility managers and utility operators optimize resources.Energy management solutions are key to ensure that the electric vehicle and the charging infrastructure are convenient, economical, and energy efficient for drivers and facility managers while ensuring that utility operators are able to manage the impacts of electric vehicle charging on the grid.
