Energy storage charging pile inspiration principle video

How does an electric vehicle charging pile work?

An electric vehicle charging pile provides two charging modes: regular charging and quick charging. Users can swipe a specific charging card on the human-computer interaction interface provided by the charging pile to carry out corresponding operations such as selecting the charging mode, charging time, and cost data printing, etc.

What is the AC charging infrastructure?

The ac charging infrastructure, both for private installations and for public ones, is simple but power limited. Level 1 ac chargers work at 120 V ac, delivering at maximum 2 kW; level 2 is capable of 240 V ac and 20 kW and the power conversion from ac to dc is, for both, demanded to the vehicle on-board charger.

Why do I need to increase the charging power?

Increasing the charging power requires an increased operating voltage to make sure the current is kept within reasonable limits for the cable's size and cost, and implies the necessity to properly design and dimension the microgrid or the subgrid where the charging stations are installed.

How do energy storage systems work?

Energy storage systems can solve this problem in a simple and elegant way. We use fluids like petrol or gasses to store energy and reuse it when needed (for example, when fueling a car). With the same principle, we can store electric energy in batteries using electrons and chemistry.
