combustion engine vehicles in the coming years. Government of India has announced an

ambitious plan of shifting towards 100 per cent electric vehicles sales by 2030.

1.2.2 Government of Andhra Pradesh (GoAP) is keen to lead this transformation and encourage EV

deployment in the State. GoAP is already in the process of announcing a policy to promote

electric mobility across the State. AP Discoms are keen to support the GoAP ambition of

becoming the leading electric mobility state of the country by setting up charging infrastructure.

1.2.3 As per Electricity Act 2003, the provision of public EV charging service to the users amounts to

distribution/supply of electricity and at present sale of electricity is allowed only by Distribution

Licensees or franchisees authorized by Distribution Licensees. Hence AP Discoms have initiated

steps to set up charging infrastructure that will help meet the electricity requirements of the EVs.

Annexure A

User Authorization Flow using Mobile application for DC Public Cha rger

A1.1 Pre-requisite

The EV driver/user to have the mobile application and registered with CIMS through app.

During registration, user's email ID is used for his identification and VIN are saved in CMS.

The Charge Point to have a QR code for identifying Charge Point ID and the Connector ID.

The QR code to be issued by some authorizing agency.

For DC public charger two connectors are provided. However only one connector is operative

at a time and this connector ID to be sent along with Charge point ID for identification at

CMS.

A1.2 Authentication Procedure

The following steps describe the flow of authorization. The flow diagram is given in Figure

Al.2.1.

Step 1: The EV user scans the QR code provided at the connector in the charge point.

Step 2: On successful scanning, the interpreted data from QR code is sent to CMS along with

registered email ID and VIN of the Vehicle.

Step 3: CMS would cross-check for the email ID and VIN with the registered details and

would generate an OTP on successful verification and sent to mobile application. If

verification fails, then the authorization request from mobile application would fail and

would be communicated to the user.

Step 4: EV user enters this OTP on EVSE using numeric keypad. EVSE would send the OTP

using Id Tag parameter of Authrorize.req and receive response from using Authorize.conf

operation of OCPP protocol. CMS will check whether the OTP is blocked, invalid, expired

or accepted and send the response back to EVSE. If the OTP is accepted, the EVSE would

authorize the user and proceed for charging otherwise reject it.

1. OTP would be valid for 15 minutes after generation.

2. EV user could be blocked by the CIMS admin in that case his authorization request

would be rejected.

3. OCPP Operations: Since OCPP does not have a specific tag to carry OTP, the ID Tag

parameter isused to carry the OTP between EVSE and CMS. So, the EVSE and CMS should

make necessary changes in relevant messages to accommodate this.

message to the charger once every other 250ms; if the data field length exceeds 8 bytes, it will transport

by using the transport protocol function, with the format as detailed in 6.5 and the inter-frame sending

Optional This field indicates the

start SoC and end SoC.

With the combination of

SOC changed and

information from Byte

50 (above e.g. duration

of charge), the charger

can get crucial

information of health of

battery. The charger

can do some extra

checks in some special

cases to ascertain if the

charging can be

continued or not, e.g.

how soon the battery is

discharging, residual

capacity of battery etc.

Will also enable the

second use of battery

along with byte 63.

Continuous charge failure

due to battery count: 1 byte,

the number of consecutive

times the charging session was

terminated because of a BMS

error. If this number reaches a

attempt to charge the battery

Optional If the charging fails

continuously and upon

reaching certain

threshold number, the

charger can generate

fault case as indicated

in bits 13 and 14 of
