Abstract

IEC62541, known as OPC-UA, is a standard communication protocol for Smart Grid (SG) and Smart Factory application platform. It was accepted as an IEC standard (IEC62541) in 2011 by IEC TC57, and is extending range of application as collaborating with other standrads. The government's policies to popularize EVs ("Workplace Charging Challenge"), the number of Electric vehicle which try to be charging in the factory is expected to increase. In this situation, indiscreet and uncontrolled EV charging can lead to some problems, such as excess of the peak demand capacity. Therefore, EVs, which is charging in SFs, must be monitoring and controlling to avoid and reduce peak demand. However, the standards for EVs charging differ from the standards for SFs. In other words, to increase the ease of use for drivers, and reduce risk for enterprise, we have needs of study to develop the protocols or to provide interoperability, for EVs charging in SFs. This paper deals with a EV charging management platform installing in a smart factory. And this platform can be easily integrated as part of SF management software. The main goal of this paper is to implement EV management system based on IEC61851 and IEC62541.

OPC UA로 명명된 국제 표준 IEC62541은 스마트 그리드(Smart Grid)와 스마트 팩토리(Smart Factory)의 응용 플랫폼을 위한 통신 프로토콜이다. 2011년 IEC TC57 그룹에서 표준화되었으며, 다른 표준들과의 협업을 통해 점차 사용범위를 넓히고 있다. 전기자동차 보급을 위한 정부 차원의 노력("전기차 충전인프라 확산 캠페인")으로 인해 스마트 팩토리에서 충전을 시도하는 전기자동차의 수는 점차적으로 증가할 것을 예상된다. 제어되지 않는 무분별한 전기자동차 충전으로 인해 스마트 팩토리의 최대수요전력을 초과하는 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 그러므로 스마트 팩토리 내에 전기자동차 충전 시 피크부하를 관리할 필요성이 있다. 그러나 현재의 전기자동차 충전을 위한 표준은 스마트 팩토리의 통신 프로토콜과 다르다. 다시 말해서, 편의성을 높이고, 부담을 줄 일 수 있는 프로토콜의 개발 또는 호환성 제공에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문은 스마트 팩토리에 설치되는 전기자동차 충전 시스템을 스마트 팩토리 관리시스템과 통합 관리하기 위한 플랫폼에 관한 것이다. 본 논문에서는 IEC61851과 IEC62541에 기반을 둔 전기자동차 충전기 관리 시스템을 구현한다.
