Charging Stations

Electric vehicle charging station have become an urgent need in many communities around the world, due to the increase of using electric vehicles over conventional vehicles. In addition, establishment of charging stations, and the grid impact of household photovoltaic power generation would reduce the feed-in tariff. These two factors are considered to propose setting up charging stations at convenience stores, which would enable the electric energy to be shared between locations. Charging stations could collect excess photovoltaic energy from homes and market it to electric vehicles. This article examines vehicle travel time, basic household energy demand, and the electricity consumption status of Okinawa city as a whole to model the operation of an electric vehicle charging station for a year. The entire program is optimized using MATLAB mixed integer linear programming (MILP) toolbox. The findings demonstrate that a profit could be achieved under the principle of ensuring the charging station’s stable service. Household photovoltaic power generation and electric vehicles are highly dependent on energy sharing between regions. The convenience store charging station service strategy suggested gives a solution to the future issues.

Vehicle Charging

The connection of electric vehicles to distribution networks has been an emerging issue of paramount importance for power systems. On one hand, it provides new opportunities for climate change mitigation, if electric energy used for charging is produced from zero emission sources. On the other hand, it stresses networks that are now required to accommodate, in addition to the loads and production from distributed generation they are initially designed for, loads from electric vehicles charging. In order to achieve maximum use of the grid without substantially affecting its performance, these issues have to be addressed in a coordinated manner, which requires adequate knowledge of the system under consideration. It is advantageous that electric vehicle charging can be controlled to a certain degree. This research provides better understanding of real distribution networks’ operation, proposing specific operational points through minimizing electric vehicle charging effects. The probabilistic Monte Carlo method on high performance computers is used for the calculations.

Vehicle Charging

Battery electric vehicles provide an opportunity to balance supply and demand in future power systems with high shares of fluctuating renewable energy. Compared to other storage systems such as pumped-storage hydroelectricity, electric vehicle energy demand is highly dependent on charging and connection choices of vehicle users. We present a model framework of a utility-based stock and flow model, a utility-based microsimulation of charging decisions, and an energy system model including respective interfaces to assess how the representation of battery electric vehicle charging affects energy system optimization results. We then apply the framework to a scenario study for controlled charging of nine million electric vehicles in Germany in 2030. Assuming a respective fleet power demand of 27 TWh, we analyze the difference between power-system-based and vehicle user-based charging decisions in two respective scenarios. Our results show that taking into account vehicle users’ charging and connection decisions significantly decreases the load shifting potential of controlled charging. The analysis of marginal values of equations and variables of the optimization problem yields valuable insights on the importance of specific constraints and optimization variables. In particular, state-of-charge assumptions and representing fast charging drive curtailment of renewable energy feed-in and required gas power plant flexibility. A detailed representation of fleet charge connection is less important. Peak load can be significantly reduced by 5% and 3% in both scenarios, respectively. Shifted load is very robust across sensitivity analyses while other model results such as curtailment are more sensitive to factors such as underlying data years. Analyzing the importance of increased BEV fleet battery availability for power systems with different weather and electricity demand characteristics should be further scrutinized.

The electric vehicle (EV) charging stake is widely used for recharging the electric car batteries. The charging stake generally adopts switching power supply technology. It will cause serious harmonic pollution to power systems and consume lots of reactive power. Therefore, this dissertation focuses on the active power filter (APF) for the EV charging stake. Firstly, the principle of the APF are briefly introduced. Secondly, the main design and the technical difficulties are illustrated in detail. The controller of the APF is based on the DSP and the model is TMS320F2812. At last, this study is simulated in Matlab and a prototype is constructed. The simulation and the experimental results prove that the APF can functions well for the electric vehicle charging stake. It has achieved the national power quality standard.

Assumptions on fleet battery availability and a detailed representation of fast charging are found to have a strong impact on wind curtailment, renewable energy feed-in, and required gas power plant flexibility. A representation of fleet connection to the grid in high temporal detail is less important. Peak load can be reduced by 5% and 3% in both scenarios, respectively. Shifted load is robust across sensitivity analyses while other model results such as curtailment are more sensitive to factors such as underlying data years.
