Description

The charge infrastructure management system and method that supports the convenience of electric vehicle use {the Charge Infra Management System and the Method which support the convenient characteristic of electric motorcar use}

The present invention was devised to improve the problems and inconveniences of the electric vehicle operation described in [Figure 1] as a system and method designed to operate a convenient charging infrastructure.

2 is a chart comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the currently available electric vehicle charging and exchange service.

Up to now, the method of securing the important vehicle driving source of electric vehicle operation is different from the method of securing the driving source of the electric vehicle which purchased the battery and the electric vehicle which rented the battery. An electric vehicle that owns a battery secures a driving source through charging, and a vehicle that rents a battery secures a driving source through two methods of charging and exchanging a battery.

There are two types of electric vehicle charging methods: a conductive method of directly injecting a current from a power supply side to an EV side by contact, and an inductive method of transferring electric energy by electromagnetic induction, such as a transformer.

And the charging method is slow charging and rapid charging method.

An electric vehicle mainly owning a battery secures a driving source through a charging method.

Slow charging takes about 6 to 8 hours to complete the charging of an electric vehicle using a general household power source (a technology using a 220V 10A or 16A socket). This technology is best suited for drivers who parked in private garages at night or public parking lots during working hours. Installing slow chargers at gas stations makes it difficult for drivers to use due to charging time and parking time.

The fast charging method using a special charger uses a 400V socket that can be used for 32A to 63A three-phase current. The system can charge a 20kWh battery in about 30 minutes depending on the current used. Charging stations are located near residential areas, offices or shops. The fast charge wait time is about 30 minutes. Therefore, it is still longer than gasoline fueling time, which is an inconvenience in operating an electric vehicle.

In order to solve this problem, there is a method of charging a charging time within 3 minutes or a method of securing a driving source by replacing a charged battery with a battery. The first method is a charging technology problem, and it is difficult to secure charging technology within the next 10 years.

Therefore, until now, the best and most convenient way to secure the driving source of the electric vehicle in the operation of the charging infrastructure is to secure the driving source by replacing the battery.

 When the world's first company to automate this method stops the car inside the battery exchange with Better Place, it takes about three minutes to remove the used battery and install a new battery.

However, the battery exchange automation system is effective in providing a large number of electric vehicles in a unit time, but it is considered to be an inefficient investment in the early electric vehicle forming market. In addition, integrating and operating such a huge charging infrastructure in a single company has many problems in implementation and application.

Therefore, until the number of electric vehicles has matured to a certain scale, the charging infrastructure provides various services (charge / exchange service, business trip exchange service, reservation service) by charging / exchanging the battery in a small company (automobile maintenance station). It is judged to be efficient.

Although it is being constructed in various forms as a way to build a charging infrastructure, BM (Business Model), which is considered to be the most useful in reality, is a BM presented by Better Place.

FIG. 28 is a schematic diagram of a business model proposed by Better Place. The main point is to lease the battery as a basic element of the charging infrastructure, and to replace the battery mounted on the electric vehicle as a basic operation method while the charging infrastructure management provider (2830) to install the charger (2860), Charging station (2840) is an integrated management business model that manages the whole by integrating and unifying the installation and operation, the collection of electricity charges used during charging, and battery leasing.

FIG. 29 is a view illustrating an example of applying a large-scale battery exchange service proposed by Better Place.

 When the world's first company to automate this method stops the car inside the battery exchange with Better Place, it takes about three minutes to remove the used battery and install a new battery.

The biggest difference between the contents presented in the present invention and the above-described BetterPrice Co., Ltd. is to use the infrastructure of the existing automobile related companies to divide the roles among the companies and to introduce a method of decentralizing the electric vehicle charging infrastructure through collaboration.

 The present invention makes full use of the existing automobile-related infrastructure (vehicle repair company, gas station, insurance company, etc.) until the number of electric vehicles is secured. By doing so, we will build a charging infrastructure environment that can provide various services to electric vehicle operators while reducing the cost of building and operating charging / exchange facilities.

In other words, the main features of the present invention is the leasing companies that generate revenue by renting batteries and chargers to charging / exchanging operators (charging stations, maintenance companies) and electric vehicle owners, and provides charging / exchanging services using the leased equipment. As a result, the service provider (charging station, maintenance company) that generates profits, and the company that produces and supplies electricity, devised a distributed processing method that operates by separating the roles.

 In addition, the battery / charger leasing service provider performs a charging infrastructure management function by providing various services such as vehicle induction and charging settlement cost settlement to provide convenience of operation of an electric vehicle.

2 illustrates the advantages and disadvantages according to the current charging and exchange method. The present invention proposes a method for efficiently managing and supporting a charging infrastructure that can be charged in various ways, thereby establishing a convenient charging infrastructure for use of an electric vehicle.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a convenience of electric vehicle operation to the electric vehicle users by efficiently connecting the charging infrastructure network that can provide a driving source of the electric vehicle in various ways as shown in FIG.

Specific contents to be implemented in conjunction with the various systems described above (wireless terminal, charging infrastructure management server, charger, etc.) are as follows.

The first is the technology that guides the vehicle that needs charging supported by the charging service infrastructure to the charging station in real time, and it is easy to access between the small company that provides the charging / exchange service and the electric vehicle requiring the charging / exchange when the initial charging infrastructure is insufficient. The service is provided to charge the electric vehicle to the driver by guiding the vehicle to a charging station that can provide services quickly.

9 is a diagram of vehicle induction and charging information between an electric vehicle and a charging station. The wireless terminal 900 mounted to the electric vehicle in operation provides information to the electric vehicle wireless terminal 900 according to the service request information from the information providing / settlement processing / rental service charging infrastructure management server 910. The charging infrastructure management server 910 periodically collects information of the unmanned charger 920, the charger 930 installed in the charging station, and the charging station operator periodically charges the charging station operation status using the wired / wireless terminal 940. The information is changed / added / deleted to the infrastructure management server 910.

6 is a charging warning signal of the electric vehicle, the electric vehicle charging / driving integrated controller 640 continuously monitors the electric vehicle driving state, and when the voltage and current changes below the threshold, the wireless terminal mounted on the electric vehicle 610. The charging warning signal is transmitted by wire or wireless communication method. At this time, the wireless terminal 610 continuously informs the driver to easily recognize the driver by displaying a charge warning message on the voice or the screen, so that the driver applies for a specific service. At this time, the driver requests the infrastructure management server 600 to provide the corresponding service according to the service selected by the driver. In addition, when the plug of the charger is connected to the charging outlet of the electric vehicle at the charging station, mutual information is transmitted and received by PLC communication between the electric vehicle charging outlet and the charger 630.

FIG. 20 is a sequence diagram of a vehicle induction service to a charging station.

In order to guide the vehicle, the wireless terminals 610 and 2000 mounted on the vehicle periodically request the charging state to the electric vehicle charging / driving integrated controller 640 to monitor the state of the electric vehicle. The wireless terminal (610, 2000) analyzes the received information 2042, if there is an alarm signal that needs to be charged and replaced to notify the driver of the status information automatically / manually to guide the driver to the charging station so that charging / replacement can be made will be. The wireless terminal is basically connected to the wireless internet network.

At this time, the infrastructure management server (2010) continuously updates the charging station information to provide the real-time information on the nearest charging station location and the current operating status to the electric vehicle driver that needs to be charged to the wireless terminal (610, 2000). Information should be provided.

Operation state information (holidays, working hours, service type, contact information, etc.) of the charging station must be manually input 2031 from the wireless terminal 2020 installed in the charging station. Of course, the operating state information of the charger is automatically transmitted periodically to the charging infrastructure management server (2010).

The driver may visit the relevant charging station to receive the charging / exchange service by referring to the information displayed on the wireless terminal 2000. In the case of a small charging station, it may be difficult for the driver to gather and receive the charging / exchange service within a desired time. By making a reservation 2052 using the wireless terminals 610 and 2000, it is possible to receive a reliable charge / exchange service.

In addition, if the vehicle is no longer moving due to the battery discharge, request a trip service, you can get a battery replacement service.

The wireless terminal 2020 of the charging station directly interposes the current location between the charging terminal wireless terminal 2020 and the wireless terminal 2000 settled in the electric vehicle. It supports peer-to-peer communication (IP address or DNS name).

 The successful vehicle induction of the present invention is highly dependent on the reliability and speed of the collected charging station information. In other words, the important satisfaction factor of the customers who want to charge the electric vehicle is to provide the electric charging / exchange service as soon as possible and to provide the environment to receive the service at the adjacent charging station within 2-3 km when the charging / exchange is necessary.

Therefore, in order to disperse vehicles requiring battery charging / exchange in a specific area or charging station without charging, management of charging network that can accurately provide information on the operation status of charging station and the collected information to the wireless terminal accurately / Settlement processing / lease service infrastructure management server (2010).

An important basic operation direction of the present invention is to provide convenience to the electric vehicle driver by more efficiently supporting the service of charging and replacing by installing a small charging station in an even distribution in a large area.

In addition, it provides a service of manually replacing the battery by charging a pre-rented battery with a low cost equipment (slow charger) and manpower.

It is more efficient to build a charging infrastructure in stages by supporting a small charging service company rather than building a large charging station for the initial distribution of electric vehicles.

The second is a charging and exchange service providing procedure for a vehicle guided to a charging station supported by the charging service infrastructure, [Figure 17] is a charging service sequence diagram when the immediate settlement in the charger, [Figure 18] is a post-paid settlement in the charger Figure 19 shows the charging service sequence diagram when the driver performs the post-payment in the charger lease battery replacement service sequence diagram directly, [FIG. 36] shows the charge service provider when the post-payment in the charger Rental Battery Exchange Service Sequence Diagram.

19, the electric vehicle intended to receive the service is available only for the vehicle using a rental battery.

[Figure 30] is the charging information is not transmitted to the upper system (infrastructure management server) when the vehicle equipped with the rented battery is charged in a private house, the charger is charged after completion of charging to charge the charging service costs Is stored in the controller in the battery pack, and when the charger 3110 is able to communicate with the upper system (infrastructure management server, 3120) as shown in FIG. 31, the transmission completion flag is analyzed by analyzing the information recorded in the battery pack. In case of no transmission, the read charging information is transmitted to the upper system 3120 (3133). Upon receiving the charge information processing completion notification 3134 received from the infrastructure management server 3120, the charger 3110 instructs the electric vehicle to change the unsent transmission of the transmission completed flag to the transmission completion among the charging information stored in the battery pack of the electric vehicle. Transmit (3135).

Private homes are simply weighing equipment to add electric charges by dividing electric cars and homes. Therefore, there is no way to charge the rental battery peck for the vehicle equipped with the rental battery peck. So keep the charging information on the control board in the battery pack.

The third part describes the procedures to perform the fast and accurate settlement processing tasks supported by the charging service infrastructure.

Figure 7 describes the relationship for the charge of the electric charge. There are two types of vehicles using the charging infrastructure, which adds electric charges. It is classified into charging service type and charging type. Floor floor service subjects are divided into the battery owner (700) and the battery renter (710), the charger type is for private house (720), unmanned charger (730), charging station battery charging service (740), charging station battery exchange service (750) Divided.

In this case, the battery rental electric vehicle may receive four charging infrastructure services (720, 730, 740, 750), but the battery-owned electric vehicle cannot receive the battery exchange service (750). The reason is that the battery price is high depending on the usage time and capacity, so it is impossible to settle the exchange price.

The electric charge charged in the electric vehicle is charged to the driver only by the unmanned charger 730, which is used by an unspecified number, from the infrastructure operation server 770, and then pays the electric charge to the electric supplier 760. The other chargers 720, 740, and 750 receive electric charges directly from the subjects (charging station operators, individual house residents) directly operated by the electricity supplier 760.

8 is an association diagram for charge collection using a rental battery and a charging facility.

In order to use a rental battery and a charging device, a member of a charging device user must first be registered and a certification medium (charging infrastructure card, RF / ID card, mobile phone, smartphone, etc.) must be registered and approved.

Of course, in the case of a privately owned battery, charging service can be obtained by only using a charging station service and an electric charge.

When the battery rental car 810 uses a charger for a private house, the battery charging start / end time is stored in the control board or the battery control board of the electric vehicle.

The reason is that the charger for the personal home simply records the information charged to the vehicle or the battery controller 640 as it is impossible to transmit the charging information to the upper system 870. When using a charge controller capable of higher transmission when recharging later, the charging information stored in the charge / driving integrated controller or the battery controller 640 of the electric vehicle is transmitted to the higher system 870.

Electric charges used in the unmanned charger 830 can be charged for the unspecified number, so if you have a card that can be identified by identity can be charged and can be settled on a monthly basis in accordance with the battery lease contract. If you can't verify your identity, you need to pay for your transportation card or credit card.

Charging stations 840 and 850 may be operated in combination with or without people. The service can be provided during the day and the station can be operated unattended at night. Therefore, payment methods also vary. In normal operation, the charging station uses the payment method in various ways such as cash / credit card, and manages the import at night when the charger is operated unattended at the infrastructure management server 870.

33 illustrates the charging cost processing flow of the charger.

In order to check whether the charger is a member using the charger to read the authentication card to determine the membership (3300) can use the charging facility. After checking the eligibility to use the charging equipment, it is determined whether the unmanned charger is used by an unspecified number (3305), and then to whom the electric charges are collected. In the case of an unmanned charger, the infrastructure operator collects the electricity bill and pays it to the electricity supplier.

 It is determined whether the battery is a rented vehicle (3330), and in the case of a rented vehicle, when it is determined in the battery controller whether there is untransmitted charging information (3350), the battery usage cost is calculated. And it calculates the battery usage cost (3370) to charge now.

Finally, the charging cost is calculated by calculating the charger usage cost and service charge (3380).

FIG. 25, FIG. 26, and FIG. 27 are charted with examples of charging costs. The fare settlement criteria is a calculation of the cost of charging electricity that can drive 200 km.

FIG. 25 illustrates the unit cost of each service, for example, and calculates the cost of payment by applying the unit cost described in the table when the battery is replaced and visited at the charging station, and directly replaces the battery by visiting the station. If so, the cost to be paid is described.

By applying the unit cost cost of FIG. 25, FIG. 26 shows the cost when the battery-owned vehicle receives the fast charging service by visiting the charging station, and the cost when the battery-owned vehicle receives the slow charging service by visiting the charging station, Described the cost of service.

By applying the unit cost cost of FIG. 25, FIG. 27 shows the cost when the battery-owned vehicle receives the slow charging service at the unmanned charging station, the cost when the battery-owned vehicle receives the fast charging service at the unmanned charging station, and the battery rental vehicle is unmanned. The cost of receiving a slow charging service at a charging station, and the cost of renting a battery from an unmanned charging station are described.

30 and 31 implement a settlement method for the amount of battery usage when charged in an electric vehicle equipped with a battery rented from a personal home charger.

[Fig. 30] shows the charging contents (charger ID, charging start time (plug connection time), charging to the control unit inside the battery to calculate the cost of using the electric vehicle when the electric vehicle equipped with a rental battery charger) The procedure for recording the end time (plug separation time) has been described.

FIG. 31 illustrates a method for calculating the details of charging in a charger for a private house. It describes the processing procedure to read the charging details described in the control device inside the battery and to settle the rental battery usage history when the battery information is stored in the control device inside the battery in the charger connected to the infrastructure management server.

An important basic concept of the present invention is to provide the charging service in various ways and at the same time assure the driver's psychological state as comfortable as possible. It is a charging infrastructure management system and method that can be provided.

In the present invention, a battery and a battery pack are used interchangeably to describe the same meaning.
