Abstract.Within the next few years, Electrified vehicles are destined to become the essential component of the transport field. Consequently, the charging infrastructure should be developed in the same time. Among this substructure, Charging stations photovoltaic-assisted are attracting a substantial interest due to increased environmental awareness, cost reduction and rise in efficiency of the PV modules. The intention of this paper is to review the technological status of Photovoltaic-Electric vehicle (PV-EV) charging stations during the last decade. The PV-EV charging station is divided into two categories, which are PV-grid and PVstandalone charging systems. From a practical point view, the distinction between the two architectures is the bidirectional inverter, which is added to link the station to the smart grid. The technological infrastructure includes the common hardware components of every station, namely: PV array, dc-dc converter provided with MPPT control, energy storage unit, bidirectional dc charger and inverter. We investigate, compare and evaluate many valuable researches that contain the design and control of PV-EV charging system. Additionally, this concise overview reports the studies that include charging standards, the power converters topologies that focus on the adoption of Vehicle-to grid technology and the control for both PV-grid and PV standalone DC charging systems.

“…Comparison of different MPPT algorithms presented in the literature so far may be found [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Owing to their inherently generic nature and relatively simple implementation, direct non-model-based techniques, such as perturb and observe (PO) [12,13], incremental conductance [14,15] and extremum seeking or ripple correlation control [16][17][18][19][20], are probably the most widely applied MPPT methods.…”

Direct Fixed-Step Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithms with Adaptive Perturbation Frequency

Owing to the good trade-off between implementation and performance, fixed-step direct maximum power point tracking techniques (e.g., perturb and observe and incremental conductance algorithms) have gained popularity over the years. In order to optimize their performance, perturbation frequency and perturbation step size are usually determined a priori. While the first mentioned design parameter is typically dictated by the worst-case settling time of the combined energy conversion system, the latter must be high enough to both differentiate the system response from that caused by irradiation variation and match the finite resolution of the analog-to-digital converter in case of digital implementation. Well-established design guidelines, however, aim to optimize steady-state algorithm performance while leaving transients nearly untreated. To improve transient behavior while keeping the steady-state operation unaltered, variable step direct maximum power point tracking algorithms based on adaptive perturbation step size were proposed. This paper proposes a concept of utilizing adaptive perturbation frequency rather than variable step size, based on recently revised guidelines for designing fixed-step direct maximum power point tracking techniques. Preliminary results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over adaptive perturbation step size operation during transients, without compromising the steady state performance.Energies 2019, 12, 399 2 of 16 between transient and steady-state operation [21]. In order to tackle this drawback, adjustable (or adaptive) step size versions of non-model-based algorithms have been proposed [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38], in which the step size is adjusted, typically in proportion to the derivative of PVG power with respect to control variable. Indeed, such algorithms demonstrate superiority over the fixed step versions, achieved at the expense of more complex implementation. It is interesting to note that the performance similarity of fixed step direct non-model-based algorithms versions have been revealed [39,40], while the equivalence of major variable step size MPPT algorithms has been demonstrated [41].Consider, without loss of generality, a photovoltaic energy conversion operating under a single-loop direct non-model based MPPT. For example, the interfacing power converter (IPC) duty cycle is the perturbed variable (see Figure 1a). A small perturbation ∆d is injected into the system every T p seconds. Following a T ∆ -lasting transient, the corresponding change in generated power is observed either at the PVG or load side (see Figure 1b), and the next perturbation polarity (in fixed step versions) and size (in variable step versions) is determined so that the operation point is driven towards the MPP. It was shown in References [13,21] that the maximum perturbation frequency (reciprocal of T p ) is limited by settling time of the generated power transient induced by the perturbation while the minimum perturbation step size dep...

A novel hybrid traction power supply system (HTPSS) integrating PV and reversible converter (RC) is proposed. PV is introduced to reduce the energy cost and increase the reliability of power systems. A reversible converter can achieve multiple objectives including regenerative braking energy recovery, PV energy inverting, DC voltage regulation and power factor improvement. In this paper, the topology and operating modes of the HTPSS are first introduced. Three-level boost converter (TLBC) is employed in the PV system. A double closed-loop control scheme considering both maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and midpoint potential balancing (MPB) is recommended. The reversible converter adopts a multi-modular topology and the independent control for active power and reactive power has been achieved by a current decoupling control. According to the working characteristic of each device, a coordinated control strategy is designed, and four basic principles are given. A system simulation model containing a hybrid traction substation and a train was built, and comprehensive simulations under multi-scenario were carried out. The results show that the reversible converter can accomplish PV energy inversion, DC voltage regulation, regenerative braking energy recovery and power factor improvement, by which a high utilization rate and energy-saving effect can be obtained.Energies 2018, 11, 1661 2 of 24 train runs between two substations, the braking time is only 10-15 s under normal circumstances. The relatively low utilization rate, in addition to the single function (just inverting), result in a long investment payback period. It is becoming the main obstacle for the massive application of inverters.Urban rail transit is becoming a big energy consumer and has significant impacts on energy consumption at a regional scale [15]. It turns out to be more and more urgent to reduce system energy consumption through all possible means. As a clean energy, photovoltaic has had rapid development all over the world recently, and the installed capacity has been increasing year by year [16,17]. Large-scale PV plants are mainly located in the desert regions due to the high solar irradiance and vast area, but the output power is usually constrained by the transmission capacity of the grid [18]. Future development will focus on the distributed PV system, which is located as close to the user as possible [19]. Railway companies have much potential to introduce PV system around railway premises, such as the roof of platforms, substations, vehicle depots, sound walls and other buildings or openings along the line [20]. It is reported that the PV system installed on platform roof of Tokyo station generates 340 MWh electric energy annually [20]. The possibility of introducing PV technologies into traction power supply system is discussed in [21], but solar energy is just used for air conditioning and lighting. In [22], a grid-connected PV system is introduced in TPSS. However, it is not an optimal scheme for the transmission and distribution of...
