Electric Vehicle Charging Systems 180KW 300A CCS2 connector

The power electronics responsible for converting alternating current to direct current will be implemented in a modular configuration. The EVCS will comprise six modules, each with a rated power of 30 kW, giving the EVCS a total rated power of 120 kW. The power modules are housed in a single metal enclosure and fitted with indicator lights to show whether they are energised or in fault. All power modules are capable of operating in parallel. They are capable of operating within a DC output voltage range of at least 200 V to 1000 V. This means that the minimum operating voltage is 200 V and the maximum operating voltage is 1000 V.

The power modules will be divided into two sets so that two vehicles can be charged simultaneously. In this scenario, the available power will be shared between the two vehicles, with 50% allocated to each. If only one vehicle is connected, it will be allocated 100% of the EVCS’s available power.

For example:

                 - If a vehicle with a charging capacity greater than 90 kW is connected, the full power (180 kW) will be allocated to that vehicle.

- If another vehicle connects during the charging session, the power will be shared, with 90 kW allocated to each vehicle.

- If the second vehicle requests more than 90 kW, it will automatically begin charging at the requested power once the first vehicle’s session has finished, with the full power (180 kW) being allocated to it.

- If a vehicle requesting less than 90 kW is connected, 90 kW will be allocated to this session, leaving the remaining 90 kW available for the other connector.

Charging cables incorporate CCS2-type connectors, in accordance with Standard 62196-3. Measured from the point where the cable exits the unit (not from its connection inside the EVCS) to the end of the corresponding connector is 5meters.The cable and connector withstand a rated operating voltage of 1000 V (DC) and a rated current of 300 A.
