Design and Control of Power Management in a PV-BESS-Based Grid-Energized EV Charging Station
摘要
This chapter introduces a power flow control for a photovoltaic (PV)-battery energy storage system (BESS)-based grid-energized EV charging station in microgrid applications to generate continuous power supply during peak load demand. A bidirectional buck-boost converter with a battery backup eliminates PV array intermittency due to changes in the climate. To reduce the impact of oscillations around the maximum power point tracking from the PV and loss of tracking direction, an incremental conductance plus integral regulator strategy controlled the boost converter. A three-level Voltage source converter (VSC) serves as a grid-forming inverter, feeding power to the and electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) when the PV-BESS is unable to produce electricity, and it also regulates DC link voltage to keep it within 1.5 kV limitations. Moreover, DC-AC microgrids with electric vehicle charging stations fulfill power balancing, peak shaving, and load valley filling to improve the efficacy of the power grids. The proposed PV-BESS-EVC system is modeled and simulated with the MATLAB/Simulink software, as well as the controller design of various power electronic converters, to proven the effectiveness of the system at various climatic events.
