DC Share Components
The system shall comprise of four principal components:
- A monitoring and control system to operate the charging and equalisation system, prioritising charge speeds and equalising the local distribution network;
- Bi-directional power electronic converters, with unique phase balance compensation, connected between the 415 VAC network and ±800 – 900 V DC distribution cable network;
- A DC cable network with remote control sectionalising switches and connection hubs at strategic points; and
- Rapid EV charging equipment comprising DC hubs with smart chargers to enable managed utilisation of each DC hub whilst the cars are connected.
