Abstract

In recent years, the potential scarcity of fossil fuels and increasing environmental challenges have motivated widespread study on electric vehicles (EV). Plugged-in EVs use the energy available in the distribution grid to charge their batteries. This shows the inevitability of the charging element and calls for an efficient network of fast charging stations. However, the developing EV charging infrastructure poses quite a lot of challenges for the existing distribution system. In this paper a photovoltaic (PV) generator integrated, three-phase fast charging station which also facilitates vehicle-to-grid (V2G) power exchange is modelled. The battery charger station aims at the regulation of the grid voltage level by varying the reactive power flow. The renewable source integration can prove as a means to reduce the power demand on the grid. The PV generation integrated EV charging station is connected to a microgrid system and the performance and operation of the system is analyzed by simulating different operating conditions.
