Hybrid Charging Station for Multiple EVs through RES Performing V2G and G2V Operations*

The Electric Power crisis and environmental aspects promoted the choice of electric vehicles (EVs) as a substitute transportation option over typical internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV). Now a viable source of modernizing the advancement of the Electric vehicles charging stations is the integration of renewable energy sources such as PV with battery bank to perform both charging of vehicles and interchange of power between vehicle to grid (V2G) and grid to vehicle. The proposed model optimizes a two-way energy interchange between EVs and the grid by providing a V2G and G2V operations, which provides various benefits such as peak load reduction, backup power, and load balancing to the grid. Furthermore, an increase in eco-friendly renewable energy sources (RES) i.e., photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy, is rising the power network and their infrequent power output is the source of various difficulties in the functioning, control, and planning of power system infrastructure. The proposed model successfully demonstrate the utilization of all available sources that are being used in the designing of electric vehicle charging station.
