Abstract

Abstract: Batteries from electric vehicles (EVs) can be used as potential energy storage systems in micro-grids. By storing energy when there is an excess (grid-to-vehicle) and supplying energy back to the grid (vehicle-to-grid), they can aid in micro-grid energy management. It is necessary to establish appropriate infrastructure and control mechanisms in order to implement this idea. This study presents an architecture for level-3 EV quick charging in a Vehicle to Grid-Grid to Vehicle system on a microgrid. A DC rapid charging station is modelled as part of a test micro-grid system for connecting EVs. Vehicle to Grid-Grid to Vehicle power transfer is demonstrated through simulation research. According to test results, EV batteries actively regulate power in the micro-grid using Grid to Vehicle and Vehicle to Grid operating modes. The controller provides good dynamic performance in terms of dc bus voltage stability, and the charging station design ensures minimal harmonic distortion of gridinjected current.
