Charging stations for electric vehicles that can replace foreign analogues were developed by specialists of the Novosibirsk State Technical University NETI and prepared for release on the Russian market. This was reported to socialbites.ca by the press service of the Priority 2030 program.
The station can be connected both to the alternating current source and to the direct current network, where trolleybuses and trams operate. This allows charging stations to be integrated into the existing electrified transport system by connecting them to transport substations. Tests have shown that in fast charging mode, the Nissan Leaf electric car is charged up to 80% in 30 minutes.
“We have created examples of various configurations of charging stations, it is also possible to increase their installed capacity by connecting power modules. “Over the past year, we have also established a technological foundation that allows us to test charging stations in various modes and at various loads,” said Associate Professor Alexander Shtang of the Department of Electrical Complexes, one of the developers of the NNSTU NETI project. He told socialbites.ca.
Currently, scientists are finalizing circuit solutions and creating custom boards to be integrated into the controller. Negotiations are also underway to promote development in Russia’s regions.
“I would like to note that today there is great interest from different regions of Russia. Our team is actively negotiating with industrial partners,” added Shtang.
