Зарядное устройство переменного тока против зарядного устройства постоянного тока: основные различия

AC and DC fast charges use different locations to convert electrical energy into useable charging energy. With AC charging, the conversion to usable charging energy is performed using the vehicle’s onboard charger, whereas with DC fast charging, the electrical energy is converted externally from the vehicle and the direct current is delivered to the battery.

AC Charging is at the core of creating a more scalable charging network for electric vehicles.

Что такое OCPP в системах зарядки электромобилей?

The OCPP specifies a general standard communication method for connecting to AC charging station terminals and a central manager via the internet, allowing for interoperable charging of electric vehicles. The OCPP can be used in many of today’s smart EV charging networks, giving operators remote usage, monitoring and optimisation options for their entire charging infrastructure.

Производственный процесс: основные компоненты, сборка и обеспечение качества

Creating Electric Vehicle (EV) Chargers entails selecting raw materials to make the components, integration of the individual parts into one complete unit, and finally putting together the entire unit through a detailed testing procedure (i.e., Level 2, Mode 3, Type 2, and J1772 Chargers).

XYDF, a division of Xinya Dongfang Electricity Technology Co., Ltd., was founded in 2016, and is a subsidiary of Xinya Electronic Company Ltd (Stock Code: 605277). The Company owns a manufacturing facility in Shenzhen of approximately 40,000 square meters, as well as an R&D facility in Shenzhen, which allows them to provide complete EV Charging Solutions for International EV Charging Projects.

To supply reliable electrical service, the first step in the process is to obtain quality components (power modules, control systems, connectors, and protective enclosures). Once the appropriate components have been located, the second step of completing the assembly using a consistent method will be followed. The assembly procedures used for the assembly will be PCB integration, wiring and installing structure to meet the specifications of an AC charging system.

One of the main things that people will look for when purchasing a new EV charger is quality assurance and credibility. During the manufacturing process, all AC chargers must be subjected to aging testing, full load operation, thermal validation and electrical safety tests. This will ensure that when the charger is used at a smart charging network, it will perform as expected.

Last but not least, the products have passed all international standards like IEC requirements and TÜV certification. These certifications ensure that products will be compatible with any global Type 2 EV charger or J1772 charger, and will thus provide reliable, scalable AC charging solutions.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

1. Лучше ли зарядка переменным током, чем зарядка постоянным током?

The two types of EV chargers, AC and DC, are not inherently “better” or “worse” than each other; rather, they are designed for different applications. Typically, AC chargers will be less expensive and much more commonly utilized for home, workplace, and overnight charging because they require fewer resources to install. However, the high-speed, power and efficiency of DC chargers make them better suited to the rapid EV recharging scenarios that occur at places like highways and businesses. Generally speaking, AC chargers are the foundation of EV charging infrastructure while DC adds to the capacity to quickly replenish energy.

2. Что означает переменный ток (AC) и постоянный ток (DC)?

Alternating Current means that the electricity will continuously change the direction it flows through an electrical circuit. Direct Current means that the electricity will consistently travel through an electrical circuit in a single, unchanging direction.

3. Является ли зарядка переменным током лучше для аккумуляторов электромобилей?

Because AC charging delivers low power for longer, it is generally seen to be easier on an EV battery. However, all vehicles today have been built to safely charge with either type of power source. The main factors impacting battery health are not just the way you charge your vehicle (AC vs. DC), but also your overall battery temperature management practices and charging habits.

4. Является ли 7 кВт зарядным устройством уровня 2?

Yes, a 7kW AC charger is typically classified as a Level 2 EV Charger, especially for home and light commercial use. Level 2 AC charging stations are typically rated for 7kW to 22kW, which are also the most common types of AC charging stations.

5. Что такое совместимость OCPP?

Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) compatibility means that an AC charging station will be able to communicate with a Central Management Platform (CMS) using an open standard. This provides interoperability among different manufacturers allowing operators to efficiently monitor, control and manage their charging networks in a smart charging network.

6. Сколько стоит станция зарядки переменного тока?

How much it costs to install an AC electricity source depends on the amount of power provided, the different features required of it, how it will communicate with other electric devices, and if anything needs to be done before the unit can be installed or used. Typically, a basic residential AC electricity source that provides 7kW of power will be much less expensive than a commercial 11kW – 22kW smart AC electricity source that provides OCPP compatibility, RFID, and load balancing features. Thus, because of their low installation cost, AC electric vehicle charging stations are much more economical to implement than DC fast AC electric vehicle charging stations for expanding electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
