Uncovering the past and present of communication charging station motherboards?

The development process of communication charging station motherboards can be divided into the following stages:

Early exploration stage (before 2010)

• Weak technical foundation: The charging pile industry as a whole is in the exploratory stage, and motherboard technology is still in the initial accumulation stage. At this time, the motherboard functions are relatively simple, only able to achieve basic power transmission and control functions, with limited monitoring and management capabilities for the charging process.

• Lack of unified standards: Due to the industry being in its infancy, there is no unified standard and specification for charging station motherboards. motherboards produced by different manufacturers have differences in interfaces, communication protocols, and other aspects, which poses certain difficulties for the promotion and use of charging stations.

Initial development stage (2011-2014)

• Leading Promotion: During this period, the charging pile market was dominated by large state-owned enterprises such as State Grid, Southern Power Grid, and Putian New Energy. The research and production of charging station motherboards are mainly carried out by these enterprises and their cooperating suppliers, and their technical level and product quality are gradually improving.

• The functions are gradually improving: the motherboard has begun to have some basic communication functions, which can perform simple data interaction with the vehicle, obtain the vehicle's battery information, such as battery type, remaining power, etc., in order to better control the charging process.

Explosion and shuffling stage (2015-2018)

• Private capital joining: In 2014, relevant policies linked the purchase of new energy vehicles with subsidies for charging facilities. Private capital such as Xincheng Technology, TeDian Electric, and Xingxing Charging joined the market, promoting the rapid development of the charging pile industry.

• Rapid technological advancement: The power conversion efficiency of the motherboard continues to improve, which can better adapt to the charging needs of different types of electric vehicles. At the same time, communication functions have been further strengthened to support faster data transmission, and communication protocols with electric vehicles have gradually become standardized.

• The trend towards intelligence is beginning to emerge: some charging station motherboards are beginning to have preliminary intelligent functions, such as remote monitoring and fault diagnosis. Operators can remotely monitor the operation status of charging stations through the network, promptly identify and solve problems, and improve the efficiency and reliability of charging station usage.

New Infrastructure Era (2019 present)

• Higher integration: Further integrate multiple functions such as power management, data transmission and exchange, human-computer interaction, and security protection onto a single motherboard to reduce the number and size of circuit boards, lower costs, and improve system stability and reliability.

• Stronger performance and efficiency: With the continuous advancement of new energy vehicle technology, charging station motherboards need to support greater charging power while improving charging efficiency and reducing energy loss.

• Intelligence and networking: With more powerful intelligent control and networking functions, it can interact with cloud platforms in real-time for remote monitoring, management, and maintenance.

• Compatibility Enhancement: Compatible with various types and standards of new energy vehicles to meet the charging needs of various vehicles in the market.

• Security Enhancement: Adopting more advanced security protection technologies, such as more precise overcurrent, overvoltage, short circuit protection, and adapting to new safety standards (such as using B-type residual current detection and protection modules), to reduce the risk of fire and personal safety accidents.

• Optimized user experience: such as providing more convenient payment methods, clearer and more intuitive human-computer interaction interfaces, etc., enabling users to use charging stations more conveniently.

• Adapt to harsh environments: pay more attention to the enclosure and stability of external structures in design to enhance their ability to resist extreme weather and electromagnetic interference, ensuring stability in various complex environments。

The development trend of intelligent charging function

• Adaptive Precision Charging: In the future, it will be possible to dynamically adjust charging current, voltage, and power in real-time based on different vehicle models, battery types, battery aging levels, and environmental temperatures, achieving more accurate adaptive charging.

• Intelligent charging scheduling: In a charging network with multiple charging stations, intelligent algorithms are used to optimize the scheduling of charging resources. Based on factors such as the usage of each charging station and vehicle charging demand, charging power and time are automatically allocated.

• Bidirectional interaction and V2G technology: Equipped with bidirectional charging and discharging functions, it realizes energy feedback from vehicles to the power grid (V2G), making electric vehicles not only electrical devices, but also serve as mobile energy storage units to provide reverse power to the power grid.

• Integration with renewable energy: Better integration with renewable energy generation systems such as solar and wind power, achieving on-site consumption of clean energy and reducing dependence on traditional power grids.

• High speed and stable communication: Adopting more advanced communication technologies such as 5G, next-generation Wi Fi, etc., to ensure high-speed and stable communication between charging stations and vehicles, user terminals, power grids, and backend management systems.

• Big data and artificial intelligence applications: Utilizing big data analysis technology to deeply mine and analyze massive charging data, predict charging needs, equipment failures, etc., and provide personalized charging services and operation and maintenance suggestions for users.

• Convenient human-computer interaction: equipped with a more intelligent and user-friendly human-computer interaction interface, such as high-definition touch screen, voice interaction, etc., users can easily set charging parameters, view charging status and history records, etc.

• Value added service expansion: In addition to basic charging functions, more value-added services will be integrated, such as vehicle health diagnosis, peripheral service recommendation, advertising push, etc.

• Multiple safety protection: On the basis of existing safety protection measures, further increase safety protection functions, such as adding insulation monitoring, arc detection, fire warning and other functions.

• Reliability design and redundant backup: Adopting more reliable hardware design and component selection to improve the stability and durability of the charging pile motherboard in harsh environments.
