A novel control strategy for Reflex-based electric vehicle charging station with grid support functionality

Short-term interaction between electric vehicles and microgrid in decentralized vehicle-to-grid control methods

“…To participate in primary frequency control service, they must have local control systems to regulate output active and reactive power at desired values. In [12][13][14], such local control systems have been proposed. Additionally, there is a *Correspondence: bayati.mahdi@aut.ac.ir 1 Amirkabir University of Technology, No.…”

“…Providing high-quality fast charging services for CSs and BCs persuade people to buy EVs and also participate in V2G technology. Reflex method has considerable distinct advantages compared to other bulk charging methods such as Pulse and CC [14,18]. In [14], it is concluded that uninterrupted drastic changes in the battery current during the cycles of Reflex method alternately change the output active power of the AC-side terminal of the BC and the CS, negatively affect the AC-side terminal current and therefore, worsen the power quality.…”

“…There are many different studies conducted on V2G control [6,7,[19][20][21][22][23], but our control framework is completely based on what has been proposed in [8], a particular decentralized V2G control framework for primary frequency regulation considering charging demands, because it considers the most complete form. Previous studies on V2G control have been limited to the simple models of EVs and Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) [8,[19][20][21][22][23][24], while an attempt to model them based on their power converters and control systems has been done in this paper in the light of recent relevant studies [14,[25][26][27]. It enables future researchers to simulate V2G in short-term periods accurately.…”

“…This purpose gives a clear and better view of the decentralized V2G control proposed in [8] a the short intervals. Additionally, it aims to examine effect of Reflex method, an advanced charging technique, on the MG whose frequency is not imposed by the upstream power system, unlike what has been discussed in [14].…”
