Advanced Management of Electric Vehicle Charging Conditions Utilizing a Photovoltaic-Based Multi-Mode Converter System

The surging popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) as an environmentally friendly mode of transportation has heightened the need for conveniently situated charging stations, since EVs have limited range on their internal batteries. Fast charging stations, especially super-fast charging stations, may strain the power infrastructure owing to the risk of overload during peak hours, sudden power interruptions, and voltage drops. This work examines the detailed modeling of a direct current (DC) power generation and battery energy storage system integrated into a multiport converter-based electric vehicle (EV) charging station. This project assesses the feasibility of utilizing Plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in Vehicle to Home (V2H) scenarios as a means of residential battery storage or backup generator during power outages or distribution system faults, which are typically of shorter duration. Both the simulated and experimental results validate the feasibility of PCMM and demonstrate its capacity to accomplish the design objective. The charger has been designed and its operation validated using a space vector modulation technique and a simulation analysis. The simulation findings indicate that the proposed charger and a compatible autonomous EMS would interact well in a typical residential setting.
