An overview and performance evaluation of open charge point protocol from an electromobility concept perspective

Abstract

Over the last few decades, the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources and the environmental degradation have reached alarming rates. Nevertheless, we have started to witness a shift toward more robust environmental protection, with regulation policies being enforced and with a steady increase in public awareness. In our study, we focus on worldwide pollution by investigating low-emission mobility. We analyze the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) specifications with emphasis on application design based on the current state of the art; we provide an overview of hybrid plug-in and electric vehicles, a classification of charging stations topologies, as well as a classification of the OCPP protocols in consideration of future research directions. Highlights OCPP protocol implementations, problems, and performance evaluation. Overview of hybrid plug-in and electric vehicles. Classification of charging station topologies. Classification of the OCPP protocols in consideration of future research directions. Application example of OCPP protocols based on experimental observations.
