The main function of the charging module in an EV charging station is to convert AC power into DC power, while delivering a specific current and voltage to the vehicle's battery for charging based on the BMS (Battery Management System) of the automobile. A single charging station can accommodate multiple charging modules, with the charging module being its core component. It also accounts for approximately 70% of the total cost of the charging station.
Composition of Charging Station Charging Modules
Power Management Module: Responsible for transforming and converting the input grid voltage into electrical energy suitable for charging vehicles.
Controller: Handles various functions of the charging station, such as turning charging on/off, detecting vehicle status, and controlling output power. The controller typically consists of a microprocessor, memory, clock, etc.
AC-DC Converter: Converts the input AC power into DC power to supply electric vehicles for charging. This component is also known as a rectifier or charger.
Filter: Removes high-frequency harmonics from the power supply to ensure high-quality output electrical energy.
Safety Protection Module: Includes overcurrent protection, overheat protection, leakage protection, etc., to ensure the safety of the vehicle and equipment during charging.
Communication Module: Communicates with the backend internet system, enabling users to initiate charging through mobile apps or public charging station cards. It also supports remote monitoring of equipment status and other functions.
Sensors: Some charging stations may be equipped with sensors to detect vehicle status, temperature, humidity, and other environmental parameters to ensure a smooth charging process.
Working Principle of Charging Station
The working principle of the DC charging module in a charging station involves converting AC power to DC power, controlling current and voltage for safe battery charging, monitoring charging status and faults, and finally communicating with the charging management system to record charging data and monitor the charging process.
Input Power Conversion: The DC charging module converts AC power into DC power for charging.
Current Control: The DC charging module regulates the output current to prevent overcurrent and overheating.
Voltage Control: The DC charging module controls the output voltage to ensure safe battery charging.
Charging Status Monitoring: The DC charging module monitors the battery's charging status to stop charging when the battery reaches the desired charge level.
Fault Detection: The DC charging module monitors for faults during charging, such as battery overheating or overcharging, to ensure a safe charging process.
Communication Control: The DC charging module communicates with the charging management system to record charging data and monitor the charging process.
