ABB Electric creates a green and intelligent charging ecosystem

As global energy shortages and air pollution become increasingly serious and social environmental awareness continues to increase, the development of the new energy electric vehicle industry has become the key to solving such problems. ABB's electric transportation solutions are born out of application. Based on safety and reliability, it strives to create scenario-based charging solutions to meet various market needs. Charging piles under the "new infrastructure" will no longer be independent piles, but an organic integration of charging infrastructure and communication technology, using new technologies to improve the utilization rate of charging infrastructure.

On November 18, 2020, ABB Electric officially launched the new Terra series 60kW-120kW DC charging piles and ABB AbilityTM charging service platform at Innovation Week, empowering Internet-based charging infrastructure and creating a green and intelligent charging ecosystem.

ABB Terra DC charging piles, which are based on safety and reliability, are used in charging sites such as charging stations, parks and high-end buildings. They cover the needs of mainstream vehicle types such as family cars, buses, and logistics vehicles, and provide charging operators and properties with efficient, economical, safe and convenient charging services.

Built-in maximum temperature output protection, smoke and water immersion ensure that the charging pile operates safely in various application environments; in terms of design, heating, dehumidification, decondensation removal, special shell spraying and other functions are added to ensure the durability and stable operation of the charging pile. Component-level accurate life prediction ensures the safety of charging equipment and improves operational efficiency. With the help of ABB AbilityTM charging service platform, 90% of faults can be remotely located, 75% of problems can be solved online, and active protection can be provided to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

With the popularity of electric vehicles, the market is increasingly calling for fast and convenient charging. This requires that while fully ensuring the safety of charging equipment and vehicles, the user experience and the convenience of operation and maintenance are continuously improved, and the existing electrical equipment is required to be intelligent, information-based, and visualized. The ABB AbilityTM Charging Service Platform deployed on Huawei Cloud has a high-standard network security design, fully ensuring the information security of operators and customers, and can help charging operators easily carry out charging operations. In addition to monitoring and management in daily operations, it can also provide comprehensive data dashboards, secure sandbox management, flexible charging models, and support the orderly charging that the country is actively promoting.

In the era of big data, information security has become particularly important. ABB AbilityTM charging service platform adopts a strict network data security management system. The hardware, protocol and platform are strictly in accordance with ABB Cyber ​​Security requirements. It is the first to integrate intelligent hardware with TPM security chips (except personal computers). At the same time, it adopts Security Boot security mechanism, TLS encrypted transmission, and DSCA full-scale simulated attack testing to ensure that it will not be attacked and invaded by hackers in extreme cases, and prevent a large number of charging piles from being illegally controlled.

Under the premise of ensuring information security, ABB AbilityTM charging service platform uses sandbox management, that is, the functional module SAAS management system, which independently separates user information storage and management. The system clearly divides the roles and permissions of system administrators, general administrators, and operation administrators. Functional modules such as "Account List", "Associated Sites", "Account Information", "Recharge Refund" and "Charging Card Management" can clearly display user-related information. Different rates are set for different user groups and different sites, and flexible charging models are adopted to achieve precise marketing.

As a leading company in the field of electric vehicle infrastructure, ABB entered the electric vehicle charging market as early as 2010 and has now installed more than 14,000 DC fast charging piles in more than 80 countries around the world. Among the four major global charging standards, ABB, as the drafter of CCS and CHAdeMO, has established in-depth cooperation relationships such as R&D partnership and global strategic cooperation with more than 20 well-known Chinese and foreign car companies such as Volvo, Audi, and Denza, providing solutions from power distribution to charging for the electrification of residences, public facilities, automobiles, ships, railways, trams and cable cars. In the future, ABB will actively work with partners to promote technological innovation, and continuously enrich and improve its product portfolio to support China in building a sustainable transportation system for the future.
