Generic smart grid requirements - Part 2-4: Electric transportation related domain
IEC SRD 62913-2-4:2019(E) initiates and illustrates the IEC's systems approach based on Use Cases and involving the identification of generic smart grid requirements for further standardization work for the electric transportation domain, based on the methods and tools developed in IEC SRD 62913-1.
This document captures possible "common and repeated usage" of a smart grid system, under the format of "Use Cases" with a view to feeding further standardization activities. Use Cases can be described in different ways and can represent competing alternatives. From there, this document derives the common requirements to be considered by these further standardization activities in terms of interfaces between actors interacting with the given system.
To this end, Use Case implementations are given for information purposes only. The interface requirements to be considered for later standardization activities are summarized (typically information pieces, communication services and specific non-functional requirements: performance level, security specification, etc.).
This analysis is based on the business input from domain experts as well as existing material on electric transportation in a smart grid environment when relevant.

INTRODUCTION
Under the general title Generic smart grid requirements, the IEC SRD 62913 series consists
of the following parts:
– Part 1: Specific application of the Use Case methodology for defining Generic smart grid
requirements according to the IEC System approach;
– Part 2 is composed of 5 subparts which refer to the clusters that group several domains:
• Part 2-1: Grid related domains – these include transmission grid management,
distribution grid management, microgrids and smart substation automation;
• Part 2-2: Market related domain;
• Part 2-3: Resources connected to the grid related domains – these include bulk
generation, distributed energy resources, smart home/commercial/industrial/DR-
customer energy management, and energy storage;
• Part 2-4: Electric transportation related domain;
• Part 2-5: Support functions related domains – these include metering management and
asset management.
IEC SRD 62913 refers to 'clusters' of domains for its different parts so as to provide a neutral
term for document management purposes simply because it is necessary to split in several
documents the broad scope of smart grid.
The purpose of this document is to define the generic smart grid requirements of electric
transportation domain, i.e. electric transportation domain, based on the methods and tools
developed in IEC SRD 62913-1.
The document for each domain is composed as follows.
– Purpose and scope.
– Business analysis: to address the domain's strategic goals and principles regarding its
smart grid environment. It also lists business Use Cases and system Use Cases identified,
their associated business roles and system roles (actors) and the simplified role model
highlighting main interactions between actors.
– Generic smart grid requirements: extracted from Use Cases described in Annex B.
– Annex A lists links between domains, technical committees and gathered materials
(existing standardization documents, user stories, Use Cases and functional architectures).
– Annex B includes a complete description of Use Cases per domain based on IEC 62559-2.
– Bibliography.
This document is based on the inputs from domain experts as well as existing materials in a
smart grid environment.
GENERIC SMART GRID REQUIREMENTS –
Part 2-4: Electric transportation related domain
1 Scope
This part of IEC SRD 62913 initiates and illustrates the IEC's systems approach based on Use
Cases and involving the identification of generic smart grid requirements for further
standardization work for the electric transportation domain, based on the methods and tools
developed in IEC SRD 62913-1.
This document captures possible "common and repeated usage" of a smart grid system,
under the format of "Use Cases" with a view to feeding further standardization activities. Use
Cases can be described in different ways and can represent competing alternatives. From
there, this document derives the common requirements to be considered by these further
standardization activities in terms of interfaces between actors interacting with the given
system.
To this end, Use Case implementations are given for information purposes only. The interface
requirements to be considered for later standardization activities are summarized (typically
information pieces, communication services and specific non-functional requirements:
performance level, security specification, etc.).
This analysis is based on the business input from domain experts as well as existing material
on electric transportation in a smart grid environment when relevant. Table 1 highlights the
domains and business Use Cases described in this document.

4 Electric transportation
4.1 Purpose and scope
4.1.1 Clause objective
The purpose of this document is to present a business analysis of the electric transportation
domain, and more specifically to describe the smart grid requirements of the domain using the
Use Case approach as defined in IEC SRD 62913-1.
This analysis is based on existing materials, including user stories, set of Use Cases, and
architectures. It is also based on latest updates from IEC TC 69 experts working on
communication protocols.
4.1.2 General context
This document considers non-guided electrical transportation using batteries, which require
electricity charging through electric power grids (public and private), travelling on land (public
streets, roads, motorways). It includes private or professional battery electric vehicles, plug-in
hybrid electric vehicles, cars, lorries, buses and motorbikes. Planes, boats, trains and trams
are out of the scope of this document.
There is a need to standardize the naming and definition of electric transportation domain
roles in relation with the roles of the electrical system and markets, and smart grid Functions,
bearing also in mind that they have to be articulated with non-electrical systems for mobility
and associated services.
In order to ensure implementation of interoperability between roles in future e-mobility
solutions, it is necessary to describe comprehensive business Use Cases defining their
relationships and interactions, in view of satisfying needs of the final customers by adequate
service provision.
Example of application of these Use Cases shall be given for the main common situations
(charge or discharge an EV, provide service to the grid, etc.).
The couple EV-EVSE will be considered as a DER. DERs are described in IEC SRD 62913-2-
3. However, the mobile and possible bidirectional natures of the EV, unusual for a classical
DER, led to this document.
4.2 Business analysis
4.2.1 General overview
The transition towards a more sustainable economy is a key driver of the development of
electric transportation, with a stronger political impetus to reduce carbon dioxide emissions
and promote alternatives to fuel vehicles – both at regional and national levels. The number of
electric vehicles in circulation has increased over the past years and will continue to grow as
technologies are becoming more mature and new stakeholders are entering this new market.
In the coming years smart charging and bidirectional power transfer will be key to allow a
smooth transition for grid operators.
The development of electric vehicles therefore creates various opportunities and challenges
for the actors of the electric power system, as well as for the actors of the Mobility Sector
(OEM, service providers…).
The following actors will play a major role in the development of smart charging.
a) Roles related to metering services will be concerned, as the bidirectional energy flowing
from or to the EV will need to be measured and associated with a metering point for
example for billing purposes – whether the charging station is public or private
(commercial and tertiary offices, residential building, private parking, etc.).
b) For system and grid operators, the charging or discharging of electric vehicles, for which
location, timing and load profile is by nature variable and not easily predictable and can
have a significant impact on the planning, operation, and maintenance of the grids. It will
contribute to the growth of possible multiple peak loads – at wholesale system and at local
levels – leading to increased network investment needs. Grid operators will have to take
into account EV charging and discharging in their network operations business processes,
but also develop operational planning and Demand Response models and tools to
anticipate its effects on the grid at minimum cost.
c) EV, potentially considered as a flexible DER, will be enrolled in electricity markets by
flexibility operators.
d) According to local regulations on flexibilities, the EV user will be able to choose a charge
plan/schedule depending on price signals for instance (based on charging time, power,
energy, renewable energy mix according to local regulations) but also other demand
response signals in addition to local constraints managed by an EMS.
Furthermore, other roles are emerging with the development of electrical transportation.
e) Installation, maintenance, operation and monitoring of charging station (charging service
operators, CSO) or the operations of electric vehicle supply equipment and the charging of
EV.
f) E-mobility service providers will provide high-value services related to the use of EV, such
as the identification of the closest currently operational charging station(s) or the charging
station(s) in a given area, the calculation of the route between two charging stations, the
reservation of a parking spot equipped with a charging station, access to charging stations
of different charging service operators with a single contract and payment, etc.
g) E-mobility clearing house operators will ensure the exchange of data between charging
service operators and e-mobility service providers, and therefore allow an interoperable
easy and open access to the market.
h) Users of the vehicles (EV user, fleet operators, public transportation operators, etc.) will
have access to high value services, through interactions with the roles listed above using
smart cards, smartphones and IT solutions.
– 12 – IEC SRD 62913-2-4:2019 © IEC 2019
The evolutions implied by the development of electric vehicles tend to change the way the
vehicle is considered by EV users, from an object that can be owned to a service or set of
services that can be purchased. Different models of services may be considered for the
electric transportation domain:
• infrastructure or charging services, with the possibility to charge any EV on any public or
private charging station;
• mobility services, with the rental of EV/batteries, the reservation of a charging and parking
spot for instance;
• energy services, with the purchase of electricity, but also the management of power
demand peaks, BPT, ancillary services, frequency regulation, reserves services;
• data and communication services, with the exchange of various data between the different
roles (tariffs, energy imported to charge the EV, etc.).
In this context, the development of interoperability becomes crucial to ensure communication
between the different infrastructures (EV, EVSE, etc.) and information systems related to
infrastructure and energy services (charging station operations, network operations, etc.), as
well as mobility and data services.
4.2.2 List of business Use Cases and business roles of the domain
The business Use Cases listed are a result of the business analysis carried out previously –
the list is not exhaustive, and it is likely to grow as new Use Cases come to light.
The business Use Cases are associated with one or several of the business objectives of the
domain, which include: deliver charging, bidirectional and ancillary services.
Table 2 lists and provides a brief description of the business Use Cases that have been
identified so far (they do not cover the entire domain business Use Cases). Figure 1 describes

Figure 1 – Use Case domain overview of the electric transportation domain
The business Use Cases listed above are described in short version in Annex B.
In Figure 1, the general domain electric transportation defines five types of services linked to
the general mobility activity. If needed, more services could be added.
The BUC associated to these services are organized in a hierarchical way and all the Use
Cases inherit of the requirements defined in the parent's Use Case.
For example, the first BUC "Charge an EV" defines safety general requirements that are not
repeated in children Use Cases.
E-mobility is a fast evolving domain and the vision in Figure 1 will have to be updated in the
future to reflect those evolutions.
Table 3 lists the business roles that have been identified so far. This list is not exhaustive.

4.2.3.1 System Use Cases and system roles of the domain
The purpose of this document is not to provide an exhaustive description of all SUC. This has
to be done at the TC level with the appropriate level of expertise.
However, in order to start describing on set of SUC, Table 4 gives an overview of the SUC in
relation with the BUCs "Provide frequency containment reserves services through electric
vehicle" and "Charge an EV with smart-charging".
Table 4 describes the system Use Cases that have been identified so far to enable the
business Use Cases described above to operate. The list is non-exhaustive and will be
updated when new editions of this document are published.

System roles Definition
Battery A physical on-board device that can store and restitute the electric energy.
Charging schedule Maximum allowable charge power vs. time information, which the EV shall follow while
charging the battery.
See ISO 15118-1.
Charging service System responsible for managing charging stations, typically operated by the CSO
management
system (CSMS)
Charging station All equipment for delivering current to EVs, installed in an enclosure and with special
(CS) supervisory and control functions.
EVSE and charging station only differ in the fact that the charging station is an
aggregation of EVSE's. EVSE can charge one EV and a charging station can have
multiple EVSEs.
See: IEC 61851-1.
Charging station A physical location with one connection to the distribution grid, in which a set of charging
area stations are installed and managed by one CSO. A charging station area has other
usages of the electricity than for the recharge of electric vehicles, at least for auxiliary
system, consumption and losses.
Several charging station areas could be distinguished with specific standardization
domain and regulation like
• residential or home places;
• block of flats;
• tertiary building;
• private campus or parking lot;
• public parking lot;
• public recharge location.
