Improved Control Strategies of Electric Vehicles Charging Station based on Grid Tied PV/Battery System

In this paper, improved control strategies of a smart topology of EVs charging station (CS) based on grid tied PV/Battery system are designed and analyzed. The proposed strategies consist of three operating modes i.e. Pv2B; charging a battery storage buffer (BSB) of the CS from solar energy, V2G; discharging an EV battery via grid, and Pv2G; injecting the produced power from PV system into the energy distribution system. However, the BSB is connected to the PV system through a single ended primary inductor converter, the V2G operating mode is emulated by an EV lithium-ion battery tied to the grid via a high frequency full bridge inverter and a bidirectional dc/dc converter. The aim of this work is to improve the energy efficiency of the CS by using a hybrid energy system. Simulation studies are performed in Matlab/Simulink in order to operate the proposed solar CS with multiple control strategies of each case scenario based on a CS management algorithm (CSMA). To provide credible findings of this research, a low power prototype is developed in order to validate the proposed CSMA and its associated controls.
