OCPP Station Simulator

GitHub repository is readonly, for contribution please use GitLab

Introduction

The simulator tool is designed to simulate charging station. It implements OCPP protocol and talks to Charging Station Management System (CSMS) via WebSocket protocol.

Pre-requisites

JRE 8 or above
A fully running charging station management system (CSMS)

Installation

$ git clone git@gitlab.com:evbox/open-source/station-simulator.git
$ cd station-simulator/
$ ./gradlew build

If you wish to include the simulator in your project as a library:

Maven

Add the following to your project POM file:

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.everon</groupId>
    <artifactId>ocpp-station-simulator</artifactId>
    <version>0.5.4</version>
    <type>pom</type>
</dependency>

Gradle

Add the following to your build.gradle file

compile 'io.everon:ocpp-station-simulator:0.5.4'

Build

To build:

$ ./gradlew build

Build fat jar that can be executed without gradle or source code

./gradlew clean fatJar

Copy jar from simulator-core/build/libs/simulator-core-0.5.16-all.jar

Publish

./gradlew publish

Usage

Starts the simulator with one station, which has a single EVSE and a single connector attached to it:

 $ ./gradlew run -Parguments="ws://{ocpp_endpoint_url} --configuration {'stations':[{'id':'EVB-P17390866','evse':{'count':1,'connectors':1}}]}"

To start the simulator with a certificate installed on startup, follow the following steps:

generate keypair and save the private/public keys as private.key/public.key under the same directory and provide the path to the station configuration using property named keyPairPath
using the generated keypair, create a csr, sign it be your CA, then provide the path of your certificate to the station configuration using property named manufacturerCertificatePath

 $ ./gradlew run -Parguments="ws://{ocpp_endpoint_url} --configuration {'stations':[{'id':'EVB-P17390866','evse':{'count':1,'connectors':1},'manufacturerCertificatePath':'{path_to_certificate}','keyPairPath':'{path_to_key_pair}'}]}"

To start standalone jar file use

java -jar {path_to_jar_file} ws://{ocpp_endpoint_url} --configuration "{'stations':[{'id':'{station_identity_code}','evse':{'count':1,'connectors':1},'keyPairPath':'{path_to_key_pair}','manufacturerCertificatePath':'{path_to_certificate_chain}','hardwareConfiguration':{'serialNumber':'{station_hardware_serial_number}'}}]}"
