Ultrafast charging station for electrical vehicles: Dynamic modelling, design and control strategy

The paper deals with mathematical modelling and the control system for UltraFast Charging Stations (UFCS) based on DC micro-grid concept and Energy Storage System Integration to feed new Electrical Vehicles (EVs) at 800V DC in order to reach the EVs power requirement for charge-time less than 10 min. The UFCS integrates a battery energy storage system (BESS) to reduce the peak power of AC main grid, decoupling the dynamics of the DC charging station from the AC grid by means of its dedicated control system. Designing procedure and Control Strategy, based on Load Levelling power management, are dealt with numerical simulation results in Matlab-Simulink software, presented in order to verify UFCS performance and the charging station’s dynamics.
