cdc160 DC Charging Station – Official Commercial BESS Technical Overview & Datasheet

cdc160 DC CHARGING STATION: OFFICIAL COMMERCIAL BESS TECHNICAL OVERVIEW & DATASHEET

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The cdc160 DC Charging Station represents a paradigm shift in electric vehicle (EV) and commercial energy storage integration. As a key component of our Tier-1 storage ecosystem, this 160kW dual-gun DC fast charger is engineered for seamless compatibility with the C&I BESS portfolio, enabling PV-Storage-Charging synergy, demand charge management, and ultra-fast fleet replenishment. Rated for continuous outdoor duty, the cdc160 delivers up to 92% peak efficiency, dynamic load balancing, and integrated ISO 15118 Plug & Charge security.

SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE & SAFETY

The cdc160 operates as a smart DC dispatching node within the broader ESS micro-grid. It supports both standalone grid-tied operation and DC-bus coupled architectures when paired with our liquid-cooled battery cabinets. The dual independent guns (CCS2 / CHAdeMO optional) provide simultaneous 160kW sharing or 80kW per port for optimized fleet availability. An embedded high-speed insulation monitoring device (IMD) and emergency stop (EMO) relay are standard. Safety interlocks are rated for Category 3, PL d per ISO 13849-1, ensuring failsafe disconnection under fault conditions.

KEY FEATURES

– Dual-Gun Simultaneous Charging: Dynamic power allocation, 160kW max shared, or 80kW each for concurrent sessions.
– BESS & PV Direct Coupling: Native CAN 2.0 & Modbus TCP interfaces to EMS, supporting peak shaving and solar self-consumption optimization.
– Extreme Weather Hardening: IP54 (charging cabinet) / IK10 (enclosure), -30°C to +50°C operational range with intelligent fan control and optional coolant heating.
– Security & Compliance: ISO 15118 (PNC), OCPP 1.6J / 2.0.1, MID-compliant active energy metering (Class 0.5s).
– 7-inch Industrial Touch HMI: Real-time SOC, session cost, remote diagnostics, and RFID / app authentication.

INDUSTRIAL DEPLOYMENT

Typical applications include depots with 8+ electric buses, heavy goods vehicle (HGV) fleet yards, and combined PV-storage-charging hubs for industrial parks. A minimum grid connection of 200A (400V) is recommended when operating without a DC-coupled BESS. For island-ready configurations, pair the cdc160 directly with our 215 kWh liquid-cooled battery cabinet, enabling 100% DC-coupling and zero grid upgrade fees.
