Deployment of Secure EV Charging System Using Open Charge Point Protocol

A large-scale deployment of Electric Vehicles (EVs) not only provides mobility paradigm shift but also demands new requirements in the information and control components of the electric power grid. Some of barriers to the EV adoption could be lowered if Smart cities make available sufficient public EV Charging systems such that they facilitate EVs to be charged in those charging systems. In order to provide interoperability and reduce costly maintenance, open standards such as Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) are desired for communication in EV Charging systems. In this paper, we depict a smart management system for community-wide and public EV charging infrastructures in the Smart city known as SecCharge System as well as its implementation using OCPP.
