“…To frame this restriction, a distribution transformer (DT) would represent the grid, it is tied to the CS in which instantaneous power flow data would be sensed and analysed by the main controller. Recent researchers have proposed optimization methods to treat all the potential deficiencies, for instance, applying a smart scheduling of power on the supply system control to support all the charging operations based on priority levels [8][9][10][11].…”

In this paper, improved control strategies of a smart topology of EVs charging station (CS) based on grid tied PV/Battery system are designed and analyzed. The proposed strategies consist of three operating modes i.e. Pv2B; charging a battery storage buffer (BSB) of the CS from solar energy, V2G; discharging an EV battery via grid, and Pv2G; injecting the produced power from PV system into the energy distribution system. However, the BSB is connected to the PV system through a single ended primary inductor converter, the V2G operating mode is emulated by an EV lithium-ion battery tied to the grid via a high frequency full bridge inverter and a bidirectional dc/dc converter. The aim of this work is to improve the energy efficiency of the CS by using a hybrid energy system. Simulation studies are performed in Matlab/Simulink in order to operate the proposed solar CS with multiple control strategies of each case scenario based on a CS management algorithm (CSMA). To provide credible findings of this research, a low power prototype is developed in order to validate the proposed CSMA and its associated controls.

This work presents the design of a control law based on the average model of a shunt active power filter considering an H-bridge neutral point clamped topology and its experimental validation. Therefore, the proposed controller is formed by three control loops, namely current (inner), regulation (outer), and balance control loops. The current loop aims to compensate both the displacement power factor and the harmonic distortion produced by nonlinear loads connected to the point of common coupling. To deal with harmonic current distortion, the current loop involves an adaptive mechanism based on a bank of resonant filters tuned at odd harmonics of the fundamental grid frequency. The regulation and balance loops are aimed to maintain the voltage of the capacitors forming the DC-link at a desired constant level. For this, proportional-integral controllers are designed. The design of all three loops considers the average model of the system. The performance of the proposed multi-loop control law is evaluated through numerical results and real-time experimental implementation, both considering a 2 kW academic benchmark with a constant switching frequency of 7 kHz. In order to provide harmonic distortion, a nonlinear load based on an uncontrolled diode bridge rectifier is considered. Additionally, step-load changes from 0.5 kW to 1 kW are considered for the nonlinear load. As a result, a suitable current tracking, voltage regulation, and balance are observed despite parametric uncertainties, load variations, and harmonic distortion. As a consequence, in steady state, simulation results indicate that the compensated grid current THD is 1.75%; meanwhile, the nonlinear load current THD is 52.5%. Experimental results indicate that the compensated grid current THD is 2.32%; meanwhile, the nonlinear load current THD is 53.8%.

“…This operation, classified as grid-to-vehicle (G2V), is controlled only by the on-board EV charger, without considering the grid constraints. As a consequence, the massive and uncontrolled introduction of EVs may bring several critical drawbacks in the operation of the grid, both in terms of efficiency and power quality [3][4][5][6][7], as exemplified in [8], which presents a power quality analysis for the smart grid (SG) in view of the inclusion of EVs.…”

This paper presents an innovative off-board electric vehicle home charging station (EV-HCS) operating as a smart home (SH) enabler. The present status and the proposed perspectives in terms of operation modes are comprehensively addressed along the paper showing the contextualization of the addressed research topic. Comparing with the existing solution, the main motivations and advantages of the off-board EV-HCS are: (a) Off-board dc EV charger, faster than a classical on-board EV charger; (b) Flexible operating power value, aiming an optimized power management in the home; (c) Operation as an active conditioner for the home or the grid, with or without an EV plugged-in, which represents an attractive functionality for enhancing the operation of SHs and smart grids; (d) Bidirectional operation with an EV. The methods used to describe these advantages are validated using computer simulations. The control algorithm is succinctly described, demonstrating its adaptability to the power electronics topology presented for the EV-HCS hardware. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed EV-HCS presents attractive functionalities for enhancing the EV integration into SHs and smart grids.
