There are architectural similarities to the previous "EV Dashboard" project with Elia. They both implement OCPI to communicate with a Charge Point Operator (CPO) over the Open Charging Network (OCN).
The main differences are:
- This component acts as an eMobility Service Provider (eMSP). We wish to send messages directly to the CPO on behalf of our EV Drivers. The "EV Dashboard" is an OCN "App" which has been granted permissions to read certain messages the CPO is sending to a separate eMSP.
- The ReBeam frontend component is used by EV Drivers (customers of a supplier). They use the frontend to remotely request the start (and stop) of a charging session. The EV Dashboard frontend component is used by companies (TSO, DSO, eMSP and CPO) to manage devices (Vehicles and Charge Points).
- PoC Repo
- Frontend
- "Legacy" Backend
- Newer Backend (unfinished)
- OCN Bridge - an embedded OCPI Server used to aid OCN integration.
- OCN Tools - eMSP and CPO mock (simulation) servers.
