What is ISO 15118-2 - Vehicle-to-Grid Communication Interface about?
ISO 15118 is a series of international standards on road vehicles that discusses the criteria for the vehicle-to-grid communication interface. ISO 15118-2 is the second part of a series of documents on road vehicles.
ISO 15118-2 specifies the communication between battery electric vehicles (BEV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment. The application layer message set defined in ISO 15118-2 is designed to support the energy transfer from an EVSE to an EV. ISO 15118-1 contains additional use case elements (Part 1 Use Case Element IDs: F4 and F5) describing the bidirectional energy transfer. The implementation of these use cases requires enhancements of the application layer message set defined herein. The definitions of these additional requirements will be subject to the next revision of ISO 15118-2.
Who is ISO 15118-2 - Vehicle-to-Grid Communication Interface for?
ISO 15118-2 on vehicle-to-grid communication interface is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of electric vehicles
Why should you use ISO 15118-2- Vehicle-to-Grid Communication Interface?
The question of information transfer between the EV and the EVSE has not been treated sufficiently. Such communication is necessary for the optimization of energy resources and energy production systems so that vehicles can recharge in the most economical or most energy-efficient way. It is also required to develop efficient and convenient billing systems to cover the resulting micro-payments.
ISO 15118-2 provides guidance on conventions, document overview, basic requirements for v2g communication, application layer messages.
The necessary communication channel provided by ISO 15118-2 may serve to contribute to the stabilization of the electrical grid as well as to support additional information services required to operate electric vehicles efficiently and economically. With obedience and compliance to ISO 15118-2, you can efficiently have communication between battery electric vehicles (BEV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment.
