Impacts of Electrical Vehicle Charging Stations (EVs) On Renewable Energy Based Microgrid

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

Electric vehicles and renewable energy-based generation are a promising solution to rising GHG
emissions. Further, EVs can act as a dynamic energy storage system through the technology of V2G,
thereby, facilitating RES integration in the smart grid. Also, well to wheel emissions from EVs depend
upon the charging source. Therefore, RES based EV charging is desired for the overall reduction
in emissions and getting the best of both technologies. Thus, this research area is quite popular
and needs further exploration for worldwide implementation. This paper presents a state-of-the-art
comprehensive review of the modelling of grid-connected EV-PV charging systems. A general
framework of designing the grid-connected EV-PV system is described along with a focus on smart
charging algorithms. The modelling techniques for associated uncertainties with the grid-connected
EV-PV system, i.e., EV demand, electrical load, and PV generation are also intensely reviewed.
The study reveals that although the research in this area is plentiful, few gaps need to be investigated.

Project Objectives

Research Objectives:

1. To Develop a Renewable Energy based Microgrid and Electric Vehicle Charging Station in MATLAB/Simulink.
2. To see the performance  of  Grid Connected and Islanded modes of Microgrid On Matlab/Simulink With Normal Load And Electric Vehicle Charging.
3. Comparative Analysis Of  Normal Load and Electric Vehicle Charging Station on Microgird  And Suggestions to solve the Fault conditions

Project Implementation Method

This project is divided in to 3 main phases. The first phase is to obtain skeleton and depth data from  Renewable energy  Based microgird system, these data are then implemented on Matlab. In this research, the  renewable energy based microgrid system consisting of Three renewable   sources: wind,Batteris and photovoltaic solar, is modeled and simulated using MATLAB. Secondly, PV solar will be boosted by DC/DC booster and wind turbine output will be rectified by AC/DC converter. both outputs will be collectively given to dc bus as input. In third phase  Normal  load and Electric Vehicle Charging Station load will be given and We analyse results for improvement of power quality.

With rising gas prices and increased concern over environmental impact, electric vehicles are continuing to ramp up in popularity across the nation. As electric vehicles (EV) have also started to become more affordable, it seems they could potentially account for almost a third of new car sales before the next decade is over.

Property owners are at a unique advantage, in their ability to be among the first to install EV charging at their locations. Several programs currently exist to help businesses install DC charging, which may not be available in several years once charging capacity has caught up to the number of vehicles in most markets.

 For EV charging specifically, microgrids paired with a solar + storage solution can solve problems such as utility interconnect delays, infrastructure upgrades, and potential demand costs.

 Energy from the attached solar panels can power both EV charging stations as well as paired battery storage. With an appropriately sized solar array, a business can rely on the majority of its energy coming from this microgrid solution, cutting energy costs significantly. With better utilization data and an upgraded infrastructure, grid interconnection in the future is feasible as well.    

 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

This project will be implemented on MATLAB software for the Improvement of power quality . Solar PV and wind plant will be coupled on the dc bus in the proposed system. We analyse the load on Grid Connected and Islanded with Electric Charging  and without Electric Vhicle Charging   The types of loads are used such as  Normal and Electric Vehicle charging station load and then a comparative study will be made on the basis of reslut obtained on Matlab
