Mastering OCPP 2.0.1: Beyond Basics

New Techniques for EV Charging Management and Operations

Ratings: 4.50 / 5.00




Description

The OCPP is a communication standard used by electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to facilitate the exchange of information between the charging station and a management system. It is an open protocol, meaning that it is freely available for anyone to use.

OCPP version 2.0.1 is the latest version of the protocol with major updates and improvements compared to older versions. On many parts the 2.0.1 version is totally different from the older versions.

On this intermediate course we go beyond the basics of the protocol and explore different more advanced functionalities and use cases the protocol provides. The goal is to deepen the knowledge from our introductory course, and learn how to get full benefits from the protocol.

We cover topics such as:

  • Security settings for charging stations and the CSMS system

  • Different offline functionalities of charging stations, such as authorization cache and authorization whitelists

  • Best strategies to use different offline features on various use cases

  • How to use reservations with charging stations

  • Firmware updates and tracking firmware update statuses

  • Fault diagnostics and log files

  • Monitoring different variables and events of stations

  • Working with tariffs and costs

Through our lessons and quizzes, participants will learn how to effectively use OCPP-based communications to manage and operate EV charging systems. We also provide practical examples to help participants understand how OCPP is used.

Upon completion of the course, participants will have several additional skills and knowledge on how to work with OCPP. Our course is suitable for charging station operators, fleet managers, and EV enthusiasts who want to learn more about the OCPP protocol and how it is used in the EV charging industry.
