Objective

The main objective of this project is the power quality improvement in a solar photovoltaic (PV) array generation based EV (Electrical Vehicle) charging station.

Abstract

In this project, the power quality improvement in a solar photovoltaic (PV) array generation based EV (Electrical Vehicle) charging station. This charging station is capable of operating in standalone mode and charging the EV battery with the power generated by a PV array. Moreover, it also interfaces with the utility and feeds it the remaining power. Another advantage of the charging station is the compensation of the reactive power for the improvement of the grid power quality. The charging station serves the following purposes (i) harmonics current compensation, (ii) EV battery charging/discharging control, (iii) simultaneous EV battery charging and harmonics current compensation and (iv) simultaneous discharging and harmonics current compensation. The charging station is controlled in such a manner that it operates satisfactorily even under the unbalance grid voltages and total harmonics distortion of the grid currents is reduced below 5%. The control strategy is designed in such a manner that the charging station operates in grid connected mode. However, if the charging station loses the synchronism, then it operates in standalone mode and PV array charges the EV battery. A synchronization control is also developed to connect the system to the grid, when it is available. The simulation results can be evaluated by using Matlab/Simulink Software.

Keywords: EV charging station, DC-DC bidirectional converter, power quality, solar photovoltaic, VSC.
