Abstract
This paper showcases a custom-designed charge control board installed into 8 retrofitted, plug-in electric vehicle charge stations owned by ERCOT in Taylor, TX. Results show by interrupting the J1772TM pilot signal, the controlling entity may perform real-time amperage adjustments by varying the duty cycle of the waveform. This allows for greater load control of electric vehicle charging, and allows for demand response features which may contribute ancillary services to the grid. Results show localized control proves much more reliable, and improves response times to variable charging set point adjustments due to decreased network latency. If implemented on a system basis, the newly proposed 5G cellular network may be able to provide utility companies with much greater control of widespread electric vehicle charging as it pertains to challenging grid conditions such as peak demand.
