Abstract

Method for operating a charging station for electric vehicles in which a charging power is negotiated between a charge control device of the electric vehicle and the charging station, the charge control device controls a charging current which is transmitted from the charging station to the electric vehicle in accordance with the charging power negotiated, wherein a continuous power rating and a maximum power of the charging station which is greater than the continuous power rating are determined. In order to optimize the charging power and to accelerate a charging operation, it is proposed that a charging power which is above the continuous power rating and which at most corresponds to the maximum power is first negotiated, that the temperature in the charging station be monitored, and that, when a limit temperature is exceeded, a new charging power which at most corresponds to the continuous power be negotiated.

Claims (16)

1. A method for operating a charging station for electric vehicles, in which

a charging power is negotiated between a charge control device of the electric vehicle and the charging station and

the charge control device controls a charging current which is transmitted from the charging station to the electric vehicle in accordance with the charging power negotiated,

wherein a continuous power rating and a maximum power of the charging station which is greater than the continuous power rating are determined, wherein

a charging power which is above the continuous power rating and which at most corresponds to the maximum power is first negotiated,

in that a temperature in the charging station is monitored, and

in that a new charging power is negotiated in accordance with the temperature.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, upon exceeding a limit temperature is exceeded, a new charging power which at most corresponds to the continuous power rating is negotiated.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the maximum power is determined by a maximum current-carrying capacity of electrical components of the charging station.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the maximum power between 50% and 100% of the continuous power rating is above the continuous power rating, wherein the continuous power rating is preferably between 22 kW and 44 kW.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the renegotiated charging power is below the continuous power rating.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the charging power is controlled in accordance with the temperature in the charging station, wherein the control is carried out by a P controller in a proportional manner, a PI controller in a proportional manner and integrally or a PID controller in a proportional, integral and differential manner.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the charging power is negotiated at the beginning of a charging operation and/or several times again during a charging operation.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the charging power is negotiated by a pilot conductor or an energy conductor in the cable set which connects the charging station to the electric vehicle.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, after a specific period of time of the charging power which is above the continuous power rating, a new charging power which at most corresponds to the continuous power rating is negotiated.

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, when the temperature falls below a limit temperature, a new charging power which is above the continuous power rating and which at most corresponds to the maximum power is negotiated.
