This study presents a centralized control scheme that coordinates parallel operations of power conditioning system (PCS) for the grid interactions of electric vehicles (EVs) in EV charge-discharge and storage integration station. Key issues for the control and operation of PCS under various operation modes are discussed, including vehicle to grid (V2G) mode, stand-alone mode and seamless transfer mode. The intelligent multi-mode charge-discharge method is utilized for the V2G mode, and the parallel control method based on communication network is adopted for the standalone mode. In addition, a novel seamless transfer strategy is proposed, which is able to implement PCS transition between V2G mode and stand-alone mode. The detailed process of the seamless transfer between the two modes is illustrated. Experimental results are presented to show the performance and feasibility of this strategy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
