Abstract

The increased demand in transportation for plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) made the expansion of charging stations mandatory to keep up with this developing technology. The main drawback of plug-in electric vehicles (PEV) is the long charging time of the battery. The design of The DC fast-charging station (DCFCS) of electric vehicles overcomes this problem. In this proposed work different technology gaps in electric vehicle charging stations have been discussed. The control algorithms have been implemented for controlling the switching operation of the power electronic converter mitigating the harmonics in the source current. The different available multi-level power levels for charging electric vehicles are demonstrated. A DC fast charging station is implemented in power system computer-aided design and their electromagnetic transient response in DC (PSCAD)/EMTDC.
