“…In case of grid connected charging stations, the impact of the charging station on the electricity distribution grid should be considered during the planning and sizing phase. Moreover, the geographical location of the charging stations should also be considered [4]. Grid connected charging stations are optimally planned by considering power loss and voltage stability in distribution networks [5].…”

In this research, a novel design and operation of solar-based charging system for battery vehicle for a 50 km run is proposed. The proposal is aimed at replacing 110 existing diesel vehicles with 39 electric buses. Several operation scenarios for the charging stations are proposed and analyzed. Scenarios include two different battery charging methodologies and one hybrid option between electric buses and diesel vehicles. An energy model of the adapted electric buses is developed first. After that, load demand and needs including number of daily trips, number of passengers per hour, and hourly energy consumption are determined based on the developed model and gathered information. Results show that a 5.7 MWp photovoltaic system is required to power this transportation line with a loss of load probability of 5% and a trip cost per passenger of 2.05 USD. The simple payback period of the system is found to be 10 years, which is 40% of the system’s lifetime. The amount of CO2 mitigated by the proposed system is estimated as 1,629,387 (kg/year). The social impact of the proposed project is found acceptable; whereas, most of the current employees will keep their jobs with higher salaries by about 145% and less working hours by 50%. Moreover, it is expected that the proposed project will significantly increase the reliability, convenience, and sustainability of the transportation process.

“…This bidirectional power flow functionality of BCCS unit is referred as Gridto-Vehicle (G2V) and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) capability [1]. The batteries of Electric Vehicles (EV) and Plug-in-Hybrid Vehicles (PHEV) can be charged and discharged through a multi-point BCCS unit present in a charging station connected with the grid [4], [5], [6]. A charging station has many charging points and is accessible to multiple EVs with additional sensing mechanism to disconnect the power when EVs are not actually charging [5], [6], [7], [8].…”

A charging station has many charging points and is accessible to multiple EVs with additional sensing mechanism to disconnect the power when EVs are not actually charging [5], [6], [7], [8]. However, the complete modeling of a multi-point BCCS unit and its coordination with EV battery system will be a challenging task from both the design and control perspectives; since EVs' batteries can have any ratings such as different nominal voltages, variable State of Charge (SOC) and Ampere-hour (Ah) ratings.…”

This paper describes a multi-point Bidirectional Contactless Charging System (BCCS) in a charging station suitable for electric vehicle and plug-in-hybrid vehicle applications. Battery modules of different ratings, together with their charging interface is connected to their respective charging points through high frequency coreless coils are described. Such type of multilevel configuration is easy to modularize and extend and allows different kinds of batteries to work together. Modeling, design and control aspects of multi-point BCCS system are addressed in detail. A multi-point BCCS system is designed and simulated for a maximum power handling capacity of 200kW and analyzed for vehicle-to-grid and grid-to-vehicle operations.Index Terms-AC bus system, bidirectional contactless charging system, electric vehicles and plug-in-hybrid vehicles.

“…As an advanced design/test method, HIL simulations allow the prototype of a novel apparatus to be investigated in a virtual system under a wide range of realistic conditions: repeatedly, safely, and economically. A substantial body of literature has been published on utilizing HIL simulations for the tests of protection relays [1], [2], power converter controllers [3], power quality regulators [4], virtual battery charging station [5] and a virtual testing facility for elevator and escalator systems [6].…”

We report on the power hardware in the loop (PHIL) interfaces with respect to a nonlinear load. The stability criteria can be affected by systems which contain highly nonlinear loads thus this paper looks into the behavior of such a system. For the power interface of the HIL, five different methods are used and the buck converter is considered as the nonlinear load which serves as the hardware under test (HUT). Two important characteristics of the PHIL are stability and accuracy which are tested on the system. In this paper four configurations are discussed for the buck converter as the HUT which results in different stability and accuracy of the output voltage. The output voltage errors of the five methods are compared in this paper. All of the analysis is done with Matlab/Simulink. Index Terms-Accuracy, buck converter, nonlinear load, power hardware in the loop (PHIL), power interface, stability.
