Smart Charging

Abstract This paper presents a concept of smart charging station using bidirectional half bridge converter for an electric vehicle. This battery charging station is useful for charging applications along with harmonics and reactive power compensation in a distribution system. A filter which is adaptive to the supply voltage frequency is used for the estimation of the 50 Hz component of load current. Due to additional features of vehicle charger, associated with the power quality improvement, there will be a drastic reduction in the current drawn from utility to meet the same load demand. The charging station presented in this paper is termed as smart with several function. The proposed smart charger is able to improve power quality of residential loads or other loads, not only during charging/discharging of the vehicle battery, but also in the absence of the vehicle. The Simulink model is developed with MATLAB software and its simulation results are presented. The level of current distortion during charging and and discharging mode is recorded 1.6 % and 2.4 % respectively with unity supply power factor during experiments. The performance of converter is evaluated during charging modes both in constant current (CC) and constant voltage (CV) modes.

In this paper, one on-board charger in the charging station will be used to test its charging process. We screen the data which has the typical characteristics of power parameters from test data, and compared with the national power quality standards. We can get the following conclusions: (1) The electric car battery is capacitive load, it may transfer the reactive power to grid in the process of charging;(2) The test data imply that frequency deviation, power factor and VTHD e.g. indexes are qualified;(3) On-board charger is mainly produced the odd harmonics in the process of charging, with the increase of harmonic frequency, harmonic contain lower rate;(4) In practice, harmonic mainly reflects on the current, voltage only has a small distortion.
