Description: The Toolbox 'EV Charging Twin' has been developed at Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE at the Digital Grid Lab (www.digital-grid-lab.de) in the department Smart Grids. Purpose of this work is to test interoperability and functionality of EV charging equipment. 'EV Smart Charging Twin' contains typhoon libraries and example to perform P-HIL tests of EV charging infrastructure. The libraries are perfectly designed for smooth tests in the Digital Grid Lab. But with suitable HIL-Connects from typhoon this toolbox is easily applicable. The toolbox also contains components for controlling power amplifiers of manufacturer cinergia and regatron.

Note: The Toolbox is specified with the HIL-Connect 'EV' for connecting EV supply infrastructure to HIL-Computers. Without this equipment, not full functionality can be achieved. But lot of things are possible-

Main functionality is to emulate the AC or DC charging behavior of electric vehicles. The core model is the component 'EV' defining the charging behavior of different brands of EV.
