Abstract
Paper contains the work done on “ARAI indigenously developed OCPP server and OCPP stack for EV Charging station”. At present, India faces the challenge to locate, monitor and control the chargers situated at different locations, as there is no backend communication. We are experiencing shortage of conventionally generated power and fluctuation in the availability of power due to heavy load during the peak hours. To overcome this, all the chargers need to have backend communication so that the maximum charging rate of the chargers upon the availability of power in the grid can be controlled and monitored. OPEN Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) is a communication protocol that help the EV charging station to communicate with the central server and update the charging details along with the information like location the total unit consumed etc. The protocol also helps the Server to remotely monitor and control the EV charging station located even at remote location of the country. ARAI have indigenously developed OCPP server for the automotive industry which is being utilized to test and validate the OCPP compliance of the EV charger and server. ARAI server and stack supports the most recent version OCPP 2.0.
