Power and Communications Emulator for EV Charging Testing

Sims, Ryan (Principal Investigator)

The PNDC procured a test device to emulate electric vehicle loads and EV supply equipment. The device is capable of emulating common communication and control protocols and data, and also provides a means of exchanging electrical power flows with test devices. The device is deployed alongside the PNDC’s existing power network assets and be used in a variety of future R&D and test projects, including smart charging studies, integration and compliance testing, V2G/V2X. The system supports the most common industry charging standards and is capable of future upgrades as updates occurs and new standards emerge.

CKRB-001, Infrastructure zero emission vehicles Connected Kerb, £145,666

Sims, Ryan (Principal Investigator) Babu, Anish (Co-investigator) Edmunds, Calum (Principal Investigator)

This UKRI, InnovateUK funded project was an industrial collaboration between Connected Kerb and the PNDC. The project investigated how connected data from EV charging infrastructure could be used to identify and classify faults, ultimately leading to improved uptime and reduced time to repair. This project was funded via InnovateUK with PNDC listed as a partner to Connected Kerbs lead bid.

ZYPH-001, Zhyphen_OZEV feasibility study, £93,627

Sims, Ryan (Principal Investigator) Downie, Allan (Co-investigator)

This project was funded by UKRI via Innovate UK. The project was a collaboration with Zyhpen/SunHarvester who has developed a battery and PV backed rapid EV charging solution to be deployed at rural grid locations. The PNDC supported Zyphen in the technoeconomic analysis and sizing of system components and the preparation for testing of the system before it was to de deployed at a trial site. PNDC was a supporting partner to Zyphen's bid and was awarded funding up to £93,627.
