Description

This test case covers how the CSMS requests the Charging Station to change the availability of one of the EVSEs from Inoperative to Operative. An EVSE is considered Operative in any status other than Faulted and Unavailable.

Purpose

To verify if the Charging Station is able to perform the change availability mechanism as described at the OCPP specification.

Prerequisite(s)

Before (Preparations)

Configuration State:

  • N/a

Memory State:

  • Unavailable for <Configured evseId>

Reusable State(s):

  • N/a

Main (Test scenario)

Charging StationCSMS
2. The Charging Station responds with a ChangeAvailabilityResponse1. The OCTT sends a ChangeAvailabilityRequest; with operationalStatus Operative and evse.id <Configured evseId>
3. The Charging Station notifies the CSMS about the current state of all connectors belonging to the specified EVSE (and optionally also from the EVSE itself).4. The OCTT responds accordingly.

Tool validations

Step 2:

Message ChangeAvailabilityResponse

  • status Accepted

Step 3:

Message: StatusNotificationRequest

  • connectorStatus Available
  • evseId <Configured evseId> Message: NotifyEventRequest
  • eventData[0].trigger Delta
  • eventData[0].actualValue "Available"
  • eventData[0].component.name "EVSE" / Connector
  • eventData[0].component.evse.id <Configured evseId>
  • eventData[0].variable.name "AvailabilityState"

Post scenario validations

  • A message to report the state of a connector has been received for all connectors belonging to the specified EVSE.
