Yes, OCPP 2.0.1 supports enforcing different power delivery profiles for CCS2 and NACS connectors within the same charging station while maintaining real-time compliance with ISO 15118 Plug & Charge transactions. The protocol allows for connector-specific charging profiles and dynamic power adjustments based on vehicle capabilities and grid conditions.
How OCPP 2.0.1 Handles Connector-Specific Profiles
OCPP 2.0.1 introduces enhanced support for multiple connector types by enabling separate charging profiles per connector. This means a single charging station can define distinct power delivery parameters for CCS2 and NACS connectors. The system dynamically selects the appropriate profile based on the connector type detected during the charging session.
Each connector can have its own set of parameters including maximum power limits, voltage levels, and current capabilities. These settings are communicated through the OCPP 2.0.1 messaging system, ensuring that the charging station adapts to the specific requirements of each vehicle type.
This capability is particularly useful in mixed-vehicle environments where both CCS2 and NACS vehicles may use the same physical charging point. The system ensures that each vehicle receives the correct power delivery profile without manual intervention.
Real-Time Compliance with ISO 15118 Transactions
OCPP 2.0.1 maintains real-time compliance with ISO 15118 Plug & Charge by integrating with the vehicle’s communication protocols. When a vehicle connects, the charging station retrieves the vehicle’s charging requirements and adjusts the power delivery accordingly.
The protocol supports dynamic updates during the charging session, allowing for real-time adjustments based on vehicle needs or grid constraints. This ensures that the charging process remains compliant with both OCPP standards and ISO 15118 requirements.
For example, if a vehicle with CCS2 connector requires a specific power profile, and a vehicle with NACS connector requires a different profile, the system automatically switches between these profiles without interrupting the charging session.
