Abstract: A method for operating a charging park for electric vehicles. The charging park has a group of charging points which are connected to a central cooling module, wherein components of the respective charging point are cooled as a function of a temperature of the respective component in the charging mode or in the standby mode, as a function of a charging status at the respective charging point and as a function of an ambient temperature.

Abstract: A diagnostic arrangement (200) for a charging park has plural components and a network arrangement. The components include a central gateway (270), at least one control device (280) and a diagnostic database (290) arranged at the central gateway. The diagnostic database contains files or data for diagnosis of the at least one control device. The network arrangement makes a core network available between the components. The at least one control device is connected via the core network to the central gateway. The network arrangement also has a backend server having a backend database with the same diagnostic information as the diagnostic database of the central gateway and is connected to the central gateway. A database extract (220) provides a list (201) of available diagnostics. The at least one control device has apparatus for diagnosis and/or conveying at least one value (208) regarding at least one status of the control device.

Abstract: A network arrangement is provided for a charging park for providing IP services to the charging park. The charging park has a plurality of components. The network arrangement comprises a core network, a backend server and a central gateway that is coupled to the core network and to the backend server. The central gateway provides an interface for one or more communication nodes of the core network. The components of the charging park are connected communicatively to one another and to the central gateway via the core network. Each component of the charging park has an associated communication node of the core network, and the components of the charging park can interchange data with the backend server via the central gateway via their respective associated communication nodes and the interfaces associated with the communication nodes. Further, the invention relates to a method for addressing components of the charging park.

Abstract: A method for authenticating a charging procedure for an electric vehicle at a charging station includes: checking, by a communication module, whether a connection exists to a network and to a back-end server; establishing, by the communication module, that no connection exists to the network and to the back-end server, and communicating that no connection exists to a processor; generating a message on a display device of a user interface indicating that an input of an authentication code is required to enable the charging procedure; comparing an entered authentication code with an authentication code stored in a storage unit of the charging station; and authorizing and enabling the charging procedure if the entered and stored authentication codes match one another, or refusing the charging procedure if the authentication codes do not match one another.
