The EVGI management strategies incorporating both charging and discharging is one of the most common research problem in this area. It becomes more complicated when renewable energy is added as a source and implemented in commercial scale. In this article, a community based commercial electric vehicle (EV) fast charging station with vehicle to grid (V2G) power supply capability is proposed. The charging station load is supplied by photovoltaic (PV), energy storage system (ESS), EV discharge power and the grid. Dynamic pricing, user behavior based EV load model and grid loading conditions are considered in the model. For optimum sizing of the components, HOMER software provided by National Renewable Energy Laboratory is used. A non cooperative Stackelberg game theory is proposed for energy management. The results are compared with a conventional sequence based control algorithm.The proposed algorithm shows lower cost of energy (COE) for EV charging, and have surplus income from system to grid (X2G) energy sales. Thus, from the charging station perspective it can generate profit, also it can be beneficial for EV owners if they can manage their charging and discharging time according to the announced charging/discharging prices.","PeriodicalId":6768,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon)","volume":"36 1","pages":"344-349"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80644348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The understudy paper sheds the idea of quick charging of PEV integrated with energy storage stacks, photovoltaic systems and at the least demand with the power grid subject to constraints scenarios.

Optimum tilt angle helps the solar panels tap the highest solar irradiance, consequently, provides maximum PV electricity. In this work, a method of determining optimum tilt angle is presented, which is implemented in MATLAB environment. Eight sites of Okinawa prefecture of Japan are selected to measure the optimum tilt angles, which render the highest incident global solar radiation over the year. Results show that optimum tilt angle ranges from 1 degree to 58 degrees in Okinawa. It is also observed that optimum tilt angle based PV panel orientation obtains a significant increase in solar radiation on its tilted surface.","PeriodicalId":6768,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon)","volume":"13 1","pages":"219-223"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86724784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed APF utilizes a bidirectional voltage source inverter (VSI). Herein, two different control techniques are implemented to enhance the robustness and effectiveness of the system. First, an effective hysteresis controller is developed to provide the necessary switching pulses for driving the VSI. Then, a hybrid fuzzy proportional-integral (PI) controller is designed to regulate the DC link voltage of the VSI. Furthermore, a positive-sequence synchronous reference frame controller and a low-pass filter are used to estimate and extract the harmonics content injected by the EV chargers at the point of common coupling. Subsequently, various case studies are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed harmonics mitigation technique. The simulation results show that the fuzzy PI-based DC link regulation method provides enhanced dynamic control of the DC link capacitor voltage under various operating conditions when compared with those provided by a conventional PI controller. Furthermore, the total harmonic distortion (current) at the source side under various operating conditions can be limited well below the IEEE 5191992 harmonic standard.","PeriodicalId":6768,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Conference on Power and Energy (PECon)","volume":"117 1","pages":"13-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79367543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The formulation of the circuit starts from a single rectifier focusing on its flow-angle equation. The DC output voltage and current formulas are derived in terms of the RF input power and load resistance. We then consider twin rectifiers connected in parallel at the DC output port. When the twins are excited with different RF amplitudes, a specific input power ratio exists whereby the weaker rectifier goes to sleep. We name this behavior rectifier's current cutoff, and the specific cutoff power ratio is theoretically predicted as –13.3 dB. A harmonic-balance simulation and proof experiment are performed at an input frequency 6.78 MHz and power up to 100 W in total.

Two different aging conditions were considered, namely, unaged (as a reference) and aged at 140 °C. The evaluated samples were then characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for thermal analysis. Meanwhile, the dielectric strength was determined based on DC electrical breakdown tests. The experimental results show that, aging the samples at 140 °C changed the thermal behavior of all evaluated samples. Specifically, the melting temperature (Tm) increased when the samples were aged at 140 °C.

For the appropriate device design, the effect of doping concentration, thickness, length, and position of the p-islands on the breakdown voltage and the threshold voltage is studied. Using optimized parameters for the P-island, the hardened PI-UMOS obtains unchanged electrical characteristics from the standard UMOSFET. The outcome of the SEB simulations shows that the electrical field in the hardened structure is decreased by 60.12% relative to a standard structure and that the survivability of the SEB has also improved substantially by about 30.1%.
