Table A10
Infrastructure use rules for BEV chargers and FCEV hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS).
Rule |
Charger |
HRS |
Charging/refuelling procedure |
-
Generally, connection is made on first-come first-serve basis.
-
Both home and public chargers will automatically disconnect when the battery is full.
-
Additionally, public charger connection time ≤8 h, irrespective of the battery charge state. After this time, the BEV will disconnect.
|
-
If an FCEV is allotted a dispenser during an hour, it will complete the refuelling procedure within that hour.
-
Irrespective of the tank level, refuelling is assumed to require 5 minutes.
|
Infrastructure preference |
-
Those with home chargers can use either home or public infrastructure but will prefer home chargers.
-
Those without home chargers only have access to public chargers.
-
Among public chargers, all BEVs will prefer the fastest plugs available.
-
No cross-regional charging possible.
|
|
Queueing |
-
If the number of connection requests exceeds the number of available chargers/HRS in a region, then those that are immediately connected are randomly chosen from the pool of requests.
-
Those that requested connecting to chargers/HRS, and that cannot connect during a given hour, and that are not at a critical charge/tank level, will continue their activities and request connection again in the next hour (no queueing).
-
Those that requested connecting to chargers/HRS, and that cannot connect during this hour, and that are at a critical charge/tank level, will queue in random order during this hour. They wait as many consecutive hours as necessary to recharge/refuel as necessary.
|
Reconnection intervals |
|
|
Movement delay |
-
Any scheduled movement (commuting from home, parking during the day, commuting home, parking at home) can be delayed if the vehicle is queueing.
-
Once the charging/refuelling procedure is complete after queueing and delaying movement, the scheduled movement is carried out.
-
If the movement plan is delayed at any point during the day, this may cause the delay of subsequent movement plans over the same day. To avoid a permanent spillover effect on the next day, the movement plan is reset by the first commute of the next day.
