This presentation focuses on electric vehicle (EV) charging plazas, which need sophisticated energy management systems to make a seamless and safe interconnection to the electric grid.
Learning objectives
- Understand the concept and value of emerging V2G technology and discover interface details required between charging plaza equipment and the general control guidelines.
- Learn about guidelines for successful installation and commissioning and understand the concept of bi-directional charging and its impact on the grid.
- Provide general guidance for successful design, installation, operation and maintenance of EV charging plazas.
- Learn what is required to accomplish user-friendly EV charging station operation.
Presenters:
- Mark Siira, Chair, IEEE Standards Committee 21, Milwaukee
- Wayne Stec, Vice Chair, IEEE Standards Committee 21, Flower Mound, Texas
This course provides designers with information about EV charging plazas, which are complexes integrating a wide variety of digital technologies and hardware/software, and grid interfaces requiring significant operational coordination. The presentation delves into technical design development and commissioning process details of this emerging mainstream public technology.
Standards are important as EV deployment grows. EV fast charging plazas are complexes integrating a wide variety of digital technologies and hardware/software, and grid interfaces requiring significant operational coordination.
Many topics related to commissioning, AI advancements, building technology and energy management will be discussed at CxEnergy 2026, a conference and expo taking place April 21–24, 2026, in Chicago. Save the date and learn more at www.CxEnergy.com.
