The vehicle to grid (V2G) system can provide frequency regulation for grid and stable electricity network. Several pilot projects are ongoing in the United States. The stable electricity network is important for national security. Fluctuating frequency can be balanced by stabilising generation and load to equal. Power stations transfer electricity through substations to military bases. In network...
Plug in electric vehicles (PEVs) are innovative solution to tackle environmental issues. Effective integration of parking lots into the grid and expansion of distribution system to meet loads of these lots are two main steps towards sustainable developments. An innovative concept for integration of parking lots in distribution system planning (DSP) is presented. In the proposed approach storage capability...
The PSC Solar EV Charger Project is exploring the value proposition that ‘Commuting in electric vehicles charged from PSC's own distributed solar arrays will be more economical for us and will result in less emissions than commuting in petrol vehicles’. The Solar EV Charger will continually monitor the power and energy production at our own rooftop solar arrays scattered around the globe. The charger...
Most of the solar photovoltaic (SPV) installations are connected to distribution networks. The majority of these systems are represented by single-phase rooftop SPVs connected to residential low voltage (LV) grids. The large SPV shares lead to grid integration issues such as voltage rise, overloading of the network components, voltage phase unbalance etc. A rapid expansion of Electric Vehicles (EVs)...
This paper presents an optimized configuration of a bidirectional single-phase vehicle to grid (V2G) system which consisted of a DC/AC inverter and a full-bridge isolated DC/DC converter. An optimized current controller is designed for the DC/AC converter that improves the system operation in terms of reducing switching losses whereby increasing the efficiency of power-flow. It regulates the DC-link...
Widespread acceptance of Plug-in Electric Vehicles depends on the presence of charging infrastructures with filling times close to those of petrol stations. On the other hand, the roll out of fast charging stations which have significant power demand would cause several issues in the power grid such as overload, voltage drop and power loss. Therefore, to avoid costly upgrades in the existing power...
Wireless charging technology is one of the upcoming technologies for a mobile phone to Electric Vehicles (EVs). The application of this invention in EVs is extremely challenging from an Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) perspective, as the charging process will require high currents and in turn generate strong magnetic flux between the primary and secondary coils. Poor considerations of leakage...
