Modular Approach to Ultra-fast Charging Stations

Carola Leone et al.

Summary: Research indicates that ultra-fast charging infrastructure poses challenges in terms of grid, technology, and finance. Simulation results suggest that setting the maximum power for ultra-fast charging station is not economical due to its high impact on the grid. The study proposes a modular approach to reduce power installed for the DC/DC stage while maintaining the possibility for electric vehicles to charge at their maximum power.

Electric Vehicle Ultra-Fast Battery Chargers: A Boost for Power System Stability?

Fabio Mandrile et al.

Summary: The exponential growth of the electric vehicle market has led to a rapid deployment of DC fast-charging infrastructure worldwide. However, challenges arise from the high peak power demand and discontinuous operation of ultra-fast charging stations, which can be addressed through the installation of local energy storage and the implementation of a virtual synchronous compensator control algorithm.
