Abstract

Hybrid grids with low voltage direct current (LVdc) distribution are an attractive opportunity for the integration of electric vehicle charging stations and photovoltaic power plants. With dc connectivity reduced power losses are possible, however, multiple conversion stages can impair an efficient operation. A solution can be the use of an “interconnected” architecture that allows the integration of multiple insulated dc and ac grids. The reconfiguration of this modular topology allows optimization for different design objectives. This work investigates the system efficiency-optimized reconfiguration. Two approaches for deriving the reconfiguration of the hybrid grid connecting converter architecture based on mission profiles are proposed. A validation of the analysis via laboratory results is given.
