Abstract:

Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, the e-mobility market has been aiming for a radical and substantial change of mentality by the community. The fundamental objective of this new vision is the reduction of CO2 emissions, which are the main cause of global temperature rise. The e-mobility sector has been looking for a progressive and substantial shift of attitude by the population since the beginning of the twenty-first century. This research stresses upon the importance of electric mobility in modern age as sales of Electric Vehicles (EV) have crossed one million cars and current number of charging stations are rapidly growing. In this context, the authors propose a novel smart connection called DriWe between the EV, the charging point and the environment to improve and consolidate the development of smart grids vs the charging enhancement. In DriWe, performance of the monophasic environment is optimized, providing support to the owner of the EV in order to (i) always achieve maximum power, (ii) easily reach the charging facilities through a special application that can be installed in tablet, smartphone or pc, and identify the various charge points (iii) guarantee the absence of electric blackout, thanks to a combination and an interaction of three elements: smart device, an intelligent framework, namely a DriWe cloud server and charge point. A dynamic load control method based on an Application Programming Interface (API) with a 10 s frame rate update, is applied. The software runs inside the end-user smart phone, gathers data from the DriWe cloud server, and enables the recharge column to be coordinated by enabling control and variation of the EV supply equipment.
