Fast Charging Station

Electric vehicles will play a dominant role in future transportation due to their friendliness towards the present day environment. The battery which drives the vehicle can be refilled using battery charging and battery swapping techniques. Fast charging stations provide faster service to the customers. Though battery swapping method outperforms battery charging in many ways, the heavy infrastructure requirement of the former requires time in integrating with the real world. Queuing models are used to depict the real-time behavior of service stations. The aspiration level model provides the optimal value of charging piles for the given system capacity in a fast-charging station. The parameters in the aspiration level model can be formulated to an optimization problem. In the present work, the optimal planning for an fast charging station in Beijing is carried out using genetic algorithm. The simulation work is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink.

Partial Power Processing

This paper focuses on the design of a charging unit for an electric vehicle fast charging station. With this purpose, in first place, different solutions that exist for fast charging stations are described through a brief introduction. Then, partial power processing architectures are introduced and proposed as attractive strategies to improve the performance of this type of applications. Furthermore, through a series of simulations, it is observed that partial power processing based converters obtain reduced processed power ratio and efficiency results compared to conventional full power converters. So, with the aim of verifying the conclusions obtained through the simulations, two downscaled prototypes are assembled and tested. Finally, it is concluded that, in case galvanic isolation is not required for the charging unit converter, partial power converters are smaller and more efficient alternatives than conventional full power converters.

AbstractRoad transport electrification is essential for meeting the European Union's goals of decarbonization and climate change. In this context, an Ultra-Fast Charging (UFC) system is deemed necessary to facilitate the massive penetration of Electric Vehicles (EVs) on the market; particularly as medium-long distance travels are concerned. Anyway, an ultra-fast charging infrastructure represents the most critical point as regards hardware technology, grid-related issues, and financial sustainability. Thus far, this paper presents an impact analysis of a fast-charging station on the grid in terms of power consumption, obtained by the Monte Carlo simulation. Simulation results show that it is not economical convenient size the assumed ultra-fast charging station for the maximum possible power also considering its high impact on the grid. In view of the results obtained from the impact analysis, the last part of the paper focuses on finding a method to reduce the power installed for the DC/DC stage while keeping the possibility for the electric vehicle to charge at their maximum power. To achieve this goal a modular approach is proposed. Finally, two different modular architectures are presented and compared. In both the solutions, the probability of having EVs charging at limited power is less than 5%.
