When a large number of EVs are charged simultaneously at an EV charging station, problems may arise from a substantial increase in peak power demand to the grid. The integration of an Energy Storage System (ESS) in the EV charging station can not only reduce the charging time, but also reduces the stress on the grid.
One of the major challenges for EV charging stations, especially the public ones, is to decrease charging time. This can be addressed by increasing the rate of power transfer. The fast charge method, according to European Standards, corresponds to the maximum value of power (50–100 kW).
This paper presents the model of a fast electric vehicle charging station connected to the grid ensuring quality power transfer with reduced harmonic currents. The charging station consists of a converter connecting grid to a DC bus where EVs get connected through battery chargers.
The combined system along with the power output of EV fleet batteries available at the charging station reduces the net energy provided by the grid, thereby decreasing the overall load on the grid as well as minimizing the conversion losses. Number of available slots for charging of individual vehicle
EV charging stations can save money by reducing demand charges and shifting usage from peak to off-peak periods, resulting in potential savings of up to 70%. EVESCO is committed to accelerating the deployment of fast EV charging stations and offers flexible pricing models to suit every business, enabling any location to be turned into an EV charging location.
The charging demand of electric vehicles in a fast charging station can lead to a significant rise in the peak load of the network. It may lead to imbalance in voltage and frequency , . Thus, it is necessary to monitor the system continuously while charging large number of EVs, in order to ensure grid balancing.
