The Mathematical Model

In order to improve the power quality problems caused by electric vehicle charging equipment, this paper put forward the research on Application of Unified Power Quality Controller (UPQC) in the charging field. Based on the mathematical model of UPQC, current control unit with state feedback single loop PI controller and voltage control unit based on dual PI loop controller are designed. Based on the mathematical model, the design reference parameters are derived. Finally, a UPQC prototype is developed and experiment is carried out, results show that UPQC has good application prospect in the field of electric vehicle charging.

Distribution Grids

With the recent proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs), maintaining power quality within acceptable limits in future distribution grids will become a challenging task. A specific concern is the spread of Supraharmonics in the range from 2 to 150 kHz, generated by modern power electronic devices. In this paper, the long term Supraharmonic distortion from three differently sized electric vehicle charging infrastructures is analyzed in frequency and time domain. At the monitored sites several interruptions of EV charging processes were observed due to poor power quality. It was found that vehicles disconnect when exposed to high levels of harmonic distortion. Moreover, the impact of the charging EVs on the Supraharmonic distortion and the interaction with the background distortion for the individual sites is discussed. Results show that a general increase in Supraharmonics emission can be expected due to the rising number of EVs. However, measurements also indicate that damping effects can occur for certain load configurations.
