[0035] Example

[0036] Combined with appendix Figure 1 The DC power supply includes power supply one, power supply two, and power supply three;

[0037] Power supply one and power supply two use a safe voltage of 24V DC power supply, and power supply three uses a safe voltage of 12V DC power supply.

[0038] The power supply is electrically connected to the DC-to-DC module through a relay. The DC-to-DC module is electrically connected to the electronic load A. Relays are provided on both the live wire and the neutral wire of the power supply and the DC-to-DC module.

The hot wire electrically connected with the on-board diagnostic system and the charging control unit is electrically connected with a relay.

[0041] When the system is used, the following steps are specifically included:

[0042] A, determine the target of the simulation environment: first, determine the target of the design of the hardware simulation environment, including the type of simulated charging pile, the specification of battery energy storage, the charging and discharging strategy, etc.

[0043] B, determine the hardware composition: according to the target, determine the required hardware composition, including the simulation of charging pile controller, battery energy storage unit, charger, battery management system, etc., select appropriate hardware equipment, and ensure its mutual compatibility and stable operation.

[0044] C, design the simulation charging pile controller: according to the design specification and functional requirements of the charging pile, design a controller for controlling the charging and discharging process of the charging pile. The controller has high precision and reliability, and can communicate and exchange data with other hardware devices.

[0045] D, design the battery energy storage unit: select appropriate batteries according to the requirements of battery energy storage, and design a battery management system for monitoring and managing the charging and discharging process of the battery.

[0048] The safe voltage 24V DC power supply is used as the battery pack in the simulation environment, and the electronic loads A and B are used as the A gun and B gun of the real energy storage type charging pile to discharge the external load.
