Charging Emulation Software. (Graphic: Business Wire)
The EV market is experiencing dynamic growth with the number of
electric cars expected to reach more than 300 million globally by
2030 according to the International Energy Agency. To meet this
demand, automakers and electric charging infrastructure
manufacturers are working quickly to design and release new
products to the market. However, interoperability among e-mobility
products is a growing concern for the industry, as is the rising
complexity of charging use cases ranging from fast charging to
bidirectional power transfer such as vehicle-to-home.
The expansion of Keysight’s e-mobility charging test portfolio
helps EV / EVSE manufacturers tackle these complexities with
solutions addressing the underlying communications protocols used
in e-mobility products. Keysight’s new charging test solutions
improve interoperability between EVs and EVSE products through
conformance testing and type approvals by focusing on the complete
range of communications protocols employed by the Combined Charging
System (CCS) standards.
Keysight’s new e-mobility charging test solutions include:
- SL1550A EV – EVSE Charging Communication Interface Tester
(Com Tester) – A fully integrated test adapter for electric
vehicle communication controllers (EVCC) or supply equipment
communication controllers (SECC) enabling equipment emulation or
test case execution to test charging communication and protocols.
The Com Tester provides component-level testing for development
tests, type approval tests, manufacturing tests (end-of-line), and
hardware-in-the-loop tests.
- SL1556A CCS Charging Protocol Tracer (Protocol Tracer) –
A portable power line communication (PLC) sniffer enabling seamless
observation of the CCS communication channel between EV and EVSE in
the lab or in the field through conductive or inductive coupling
with the charging cable. When used with the Keysight SL1487A CCS
Charging Protocol Trace Viewer (CPT), over-the-wire data transfer
between EV and EVSE can be analyzed to resolve interoperability
issues.
- SL156XA EV – EVSE Charging Test Robot Series – A test
automation process that can be used with the Com Tester to
incorporate mechanical actuators to simplify the testing process
and enable fully automated testing sequences with hundreds of test
cases.
- TTCN-3 Charging Communication Test Automation Software
(CCT) – An automated conformance testing solution for CCS
charging communication-based on ISO 15118 conformance testing
standards that empowers design engineers to prepare for type
approvals and certification tests.
- Smart Charging Emulation Software (SCE) – A highly
customizable and configurable emulation environment for scenario-
and functional-driven EV and EVSE tests based on CCS Basic, CCS
Extended, and CCS Advanced profiles supporting DIN 70121, ISO
15118-2/-3, and ISO 15118-20/-3.
- CCS Charging Protocol Trace Viewer (CPT) – A software
application that enables decoding of CCS charging protocols and
supports the DIN 70121, ISO 15118-2/-20 for vehicle-to-grid
communication standard as well as other proprietary messages
defined for the hardware abstraction layer.
EV smart charging infrastructure innovation center ElaadNL has
adopted the new Keysight Com Tester in combination with the SL1047A
Scienlab Charging Discovery System – High-Power Series, the SL1203
Scienlab Regenerative AC / Grid Emulator, and the SL1830A Scienlab
Regenerative DC Emulator to support its industry partners in the
development of new e-mobility products. Keysight’s complete EV /
EVSE charging test portfolio enables ElaadNL to help automakers and
charging system manufacturers implement new standards such as the
Megawatt Charging System.
Onoph Caron, Director of ElaadNL, said: “Keysight’s
complete charging test portfolio provides the tools we need to help
our partners emulate real-life use cases to analyze the effects of
EV charging on the power grid – both for quality and immunity
tests. With these new solutions, we can speed innovation by
mitigating interoperability challenges to bring new products to
market quickly and smoothly, especially with new market
developments such as vehicle-to-grid and new versions of the ISO
15118 standard. As an open facility, the ElaadNL test lab is
working closely with our partners in the industry to build a robust
energy system for new mobility.”
Thomas Goetzl, Vice President and General Manager for
Keysight’s Automotive & Energy Solutions, said: “With the
introduction of new communications-based charging test solutions to
Keysight’s already strong EV / EVSE test portfolio, we are giving
the industry the tools it needs to respond to the accelerating
e-mobility market. Keysight is the only vendor offering a complete
turn-key solution, from R&D to maintenance.”
