Power Quality Event Overview

On March 9th of this year, a short PQ

event occurred at EPRI’s Knoxville

office that impacted operation of our

electric vehicle charging hardware


Event Recorded at Substation (3-9-2012)

0.5 Second

Interruption at

charge station

(Confirmed

Substation

Breaker Open and

Reclosed)


Video Sequences from Event

Pre-Event Loss of lights behind

charge station at Emerson

Loss of lights at charge station

(lights or Arc-fault in

background?) Could be Camera White-balance Dynamics

Light or fault in background

disappears Fault Cleared, Voltage

Restored Post-Event


Overview of the Electric Vehicle

Supply Equipment

• We have 3 types of EVSEs on the site

– Two with built in access control (RF ID card)

• “PROBLEM” light flashing

– Two with keypad access control

• Keypad forgot code

– Two without access control

• Red wrench error light on

• A vehicle was connected to only one of the keypad units at

the time of the sag event (all others were idle)

• All units are wired to the same 240V service panel

• The units are all rated at 30A capacity (up to 7.2kW)


Levels of Response to PQ Events

1. Self recovery – back to

original state

2. Error can be cleared by un-

plugging the connection to

the vehicle

3. Error can be cleared via a

front panel control

4. Power to unit must be cycled

to clear error

5. Unit is damaged

SELF RECOVERY TO

ORIGINAL STATE IS THE

DESIRED RESPONSE
