Management and Control of a Bidirectional Electric Station in DC Microgrids

Overview and Future Challenges on the Connection of Electric Vehicles into Modern Distribution Power Systems

“…Encouraging the use and implantation of generation from renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic (PVs) generation in residential units, can cause problems in the distribution networks, such as overvoltage. Aiming to allow PVs to always operate at their maximum power point, which benefits the consumer and reduces the investment payback time, the authors of [22][23][24]26] present an alternative Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology. Vol.64: e21010158, 2021 www.scielo.br/babt management method entitled charge-discharge management scheme, to balance the voltage of the distribution network, using the connection with the EVs.…”

“…They mostly deal with the charging station's management and studies of their implementation and impacts. In [25][26], the authors present strategies to manage EVs' fast charging in charging stations at peak times, reducing the battery charge speed and, consequently, reducing the cost of energy during the process. Through the use of such strategies it is observed a relief in the electrical grid during peak times.…”
