Abstract:

The home photovoltaic (HPV) system integrated with energy storages can supply power to the distribution grid which may be reliable and free from HPV intermittency effects. However, this is always associated with the high cost of energy storages. On the other hand, the growth of electric vehicles (EV) in the market has a potential to place the distribution grid in a high risk as the EV owners may charge the EV battery on demand which may cause an unexpected increase in the evening and power quality problems. This paper proposes an efficient energy management approach for the HPV systems to power the electric vehicle battery (EVB) charging facility while utilizing the EVB as an energy storage system (ESS) that can mitigate the HPV impacts and allow the growth of HPV systems in power grids. This research is aimed for electric vehicles (EVs) that are compatible with the dc fast charging CHAdeMO standard. The operation strategy of the HPV-EVB charging system is designed in such a way that the EVB is either charged efficiently by the HPV or by the distribution grid. The proposed energy management strategy will help to reduce the unexpected peak power demand, and can help in the implementation of the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to improve the stability of the
