Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

3.6.1 Case study: ABB EV charging infrastructure

Course subject(s) Module 3. Charging of EVs

Now that we have learnt about all the EV charging concepts, let us now look at how it is done in the real world. For this, we will have a case study with ABB EV Charging Infrastructure (http://new.abb.com/ev-charging) and meet with Crijn Bouwman, Vice President of Product Management.

ABB specializes in DC fast chargers ranging from 50kW to 150kW (Chademo, Combo, GB/T) with modular chargers going upto 400kW. They also offer AC charging solutions for electric cars and overnight and opportunity chargers for busses and trucks.

Now lets us discuss with Crijn and learn more about how current and future technology trends in EV charging:

      • Key technology enablers for compact, efficient and low cost fast chargers for electric vehicles
      • How does the charging technology for cars differ from that for busses and trucks?
      • Trend to move from 50 kW charging powers to 350kW powers and higher
      • Biggest challenges for smart charging and vehicle to grid technology
      • Flash charging and opp-charging for electric busses
      • What are the unique selling points of ABB EV chargers?
      • What is the future of EV charging ?
