Abstract

PAS 1878 and PAS 1879 were published by the British Standards Institution (BSI) in May 2021 (BSI, Energy Smart Appliances Programme. [Online]. Available: https://www.bsigroup.com/en-GB/about-bsi/uk-national-standards-body/about-standards/Innovation/energy-smart-appliances-programme/, 2021). They present a standardised technical framework for energy smart appliances (ESAs), including smart electric vehicle (EV) Chargepoints, to provide demand-side response (DSR) services to domestic consumers and grid-side actors. The framework covers EV smart charging based on time of use tariffs, as well as aggregated flexibility services. The framework was developed to deliver the four principles of interoperability, data privacy, cyber security and grid stability for EV smart charging providing DSR services. The Publicly Available Specifications (PASs) are aligned with international smart grid standardisation work and are a minimum specification to provide a platform for innovation in EV smart charging. This chapter introduces EV smart charging for domestic DSR, outlines the system architecture, explains the operation framework and sets out the high-level device functionality, information model and communications protocols used.

Acknowledgements

The concepts presented in this chapter are based on the technical framework set out in PAS 1878 and PAS 1879, which are free to download from the British Standards Institution (BSI) website [17]. BSI facilitated the Publicly Available Specification (PAS) development process, and the hard work of the whole BSI team was much appreciated. Many thanks are also extended to the UK industry experts, from across the energy, transport, built environment, communications and cyber security sectors, who sat on the Steering Groups leading the development of the PAS standards and who sat on the Strategic Advisory Group for the programme. The greatest thanks and acknowledgement go to the technical authors, Lee Gould and Hugh Boyes, who drafted PAS 1878 and 1879, respectively.

It is gratefully acknowledged that the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) funded the development of PAS 1878 and 1879. The PAS standards work supports actions set out in the Smart Systems and Flexibility Plan [18]. Other relevant policy documents include the BEIS Smart Appliances Consultation [19] and the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) Smart Charging Consultation [20].

Thanks are also extended to Dr Myriam Neaimeh at The Alan Turing Institute, who we are very grateful to for providing technical expertise on EV smart charging and associated standards.
