Training Series on Grid Integration & Energy

Smart Charging & Energy Workshop

Gain in-depth understanding of the European electricity market, the pivotal role of electric vehicles in grid storage and services, and a detailed examination of smart charging use cases, bidirectional charging technology, business prospects, and market trends. Trainers have profound experience in e-mobility projects at leading OEM, Tier 1/2 and emobility solution providers. P3 is established OCA member with more than 15 years of experience in e-mobility.

Goal

You have understood the basic idea of charging electric vehicles and are interested in the possibilities that arise in addition to the "normal charging" of electric vehicles?

Then you are very welcome to this training. The role of electric vehicles in the overall electricity grid of the future will be examined in depth. Why will the power grid need more stabilisation in the future than in the past? To what extent can the millions of electric cars of the future, with their decentralised storage capacity, contribute to stabilising the power grid? What use cases are there for smart and bidirectional charging? And what will the technology look like in the future?

These are the questions we want to address together in the workshop. We will shed light on the situation on the current energy market and take a look at what roles an electric car can take on. We will also look at the technology of bidirectional charging in detail.

As advanced training, we will build on the basics of e-mobility that can be learned, for example, in the "E-Mobility for Beginners" training.

What you get

Understanding the energy market, especially the electricity market (focus on Europe)
Understanding the need for grid storage and services that can be provided by electric vehicles
An overview of the most important smart charging use cases (unidirectional, bidirectional and vehicle-grid integration)
Technical deep dive into bidirectional charging (efficiency, communication, strategy AC vs. DC bidirectional)
Business model opportunities for bidirectional charging
Market insights of bidirectional charging

Who should attend?

(Electrical) engineers

Communication Protocol OCPP 1.6

Comprehensive understanding of OCPP and its functionalities presented by trainer with profound experience in testing, integration and product development of charging infrastructure. P3 is an official OCA member, actively participating in OCA Working Groups and plugfests and P3 has overall more than 15 years of experience in e-mobility.

Goal

The OCPP 1.6 training is a comprehensive program designed to give participants a basic knowledge about Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) version 1.6 and its functionalities. OCPP is a widely adopted communication protocol that facilitates seamless interaction between charging stations and central management systems. The training covers topics such as message formats, data exchange mechanisms, and security considerations in OCPP 1.6.

What you get

The training is designed to guide through the beginning and history around this open standard and how it developed to the point of today as such a widely used protocol. This training covers the whole area around the concept of todays communication of charging stations with central management systems to be remotely controlled, updated and maintained. The chapters cover the basics around charging transactions und further adaptions to ISO-15118 implementation and secured connectivity.

To further deepen the exercise, a live session will complete the training to showcase a real implimentation for a better understanding of the message flow.

Who should attend?

This training is intended for everyone techically working with the current basic topic of charging infrastructure:

Development engineers
Technicians
Installation partners
Software developers and QA
Product managers

Communication Protocol OCPP 2.0.1

Comprehensive understanding of OCPP and its functionalities presented by trainer with profound experience in testing, integration and product development of charging infrastructure. P3 is an official OCA member, actively participating in OCA Working Groups and plugfests and P3 has overall more than 15 years of experience in e-mobility.

Goal

The OCPP 2.0.1 training is a comprehensive program designed to give participants a basic knowledge about Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) version 2.0.1 and its functionalities. OCPP is a huge leap forward compared to its predecessor OCPP 1.6. It provides an enhanced set of known features and various extensions to support the development towards seamless charging experiences (Plug&Charge, SmartCharging, Remote Diagnosis, Device Model etc.) The training covers topics such as message formats, data exchange mechanisms, and security considerations in OCPP 2.0.1.

What you get

The training is designed to dive deeper into the development of OCPP therefore takes OCPP 1.6 as a starting point. Specific enhancements and revisions will be emphasized and the evolution accross the feature sets will be put into focus, such as:

Advancing diagnostics and monitoring
Improves transaction handling
Enhanced security
Extension of remote diagnostics
Native support for ISO 15118-2 (Plug&Charge)
Display and messaging support

Who should attend?

Functional Safety

Interactive training with hands on exercises to learn functional safety not only theoretically, but also pratically by doing. Trainers have profound experience in FuSi projects at leading automotive OEM. P3 is established OCA member with more than 15 years of experience in e-mobility.

Goal

ISO 26262 is a functional safety standard that can be applied to the development for electrical and/or electronic (E/E) systems in vehicles. ISO 26262 is an adaptation of the broader safety standard IEC 61508, from which safety standards for the nuclear, machinery, railway and other industries have been derived. It aims to reduce the risks associated with safety functions to a tolerable level by providing workable requirements and processes. This course provides an introduction to the standard.

What you get

The training is designed to create awareness and teach you the basics of Functional Safety, supported by exercises based on a practical example along the functional safety lifecycle.

You will understand the importance of functional safety and get to know the development process as well as the key artifacts of ISO 26262.

Who should attend?

This training is intended for anyone working in a technical development environment in the automotive industry who has no or limited prior knowledge of Functional Safety, e.g.

Development Engineers (System, Hardware and Software, Function/Feature)
Product Managers / Project Leaders of safety related development projects
Managers responsible for establishing of work processes
