Hybrid Renewable Energy Fed Battery Electric Vehicle Charging Station

Abstract

The demand for energy is growing much faster and perhaps the consumption from conventional resources have infected the environment conversely. Now, the electrical technology is in the microgrid generation where it supports to access the distributed energy sources practically. This paper presents the integration of renewable energy into the public ported battery electric vehicle (EV) via microgrid technology. EV charging station fuelled by the hybrid microgrid system ensures the smooth control and active power flow in the modern distributed systems. But the clumsy and heterogeneous charging of EVs in the migrogrid system leads to the ineffectual exploitation of renewable resources under some vital circumstances. The transition towards EV promotes the development in charging station via charging architecture with multiport configurations, which will impose complexity to the microgrid further. The issues associated with the utilization of renewable resources and in-line charging of EVs in the distributed microgrid systems is addressed in this paper. Solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy (WE) forms the hybrid renewable system with energy storage, EVs, power electronic interface and private loads to constitute a distributed network in this ace research. The phenomena of EV charging are analyzed briefly and the generated power is exercised in a systematic way for various load conditions respectively. The validation of the research is carried out in PSCAD/EMTDC simulation platform.
