1 Scope
The IEC 63382 series specifies the management of distributed energy storage systems, composed of electrically
chargeable vehicle batteries (ECV-DESS), which are handled by an aggregator/flexibility operator (FO) to provide energy flexibility services to grid operators.
Aggregator and flexibility operator have the same meaning in the context of this document and represent the entity which
aggregates a number of other network users (e.g. energy consumers, prosumers, DERs) bundling energy consumption or generation assets into manageable sizes for the energy
system.
The aggregator/FO communicates with the charging station (CS) backend system, which is typically the system platform (HW, SW and HMI) of either a charging station operator (CSO), or a charging service provider (CSP).
The purpose of the data exchange is to perform flexibility services, and it takes place between the aggregator/FO and a dedicated interface located in the CS backend system, which has been defined FCSBE, flexibility port at the charging station backend.
This part of IEC 63382 describes the technical characteristics and architectures of ECV-DESS, including:
EV charging stations configurations, comprising several AC-EVSEs and/or DC-EVSEs;
individual EVs connected to grid via an EVSE and managed by an aggregator...
