Title: Application of Instantaneous Phasor Components Theory and Development of Comprehensive EV Charging Station

Abstract :

In this work, a novel Instantaneous Phasor Components Theory (IPCT) is used for controlling single-phase DSTATCOM to achieve improved power quality. Further, the theory is used to interpret the Instantaneous Symmetrical Components Theory for controlling three-phase DSTATCOM. This is used for designing a comprehensive EV charging station which serves as an active compensator, making the grid currents balanced, sinusoidal and having a unity power factor. Additionally, it features adaptive droop-based grid frequency regulation with changing load demands. Furthermore, it has a unique power-sharing algorithm for the connected EVs, considering the safe limits for charging and discharging currents. The algorithm allows EV owners to choose between strictly charging mode or V2G mode with the ability to decide the minimum SoC level desired for their EV as a reserve for contingencies. The single-phase DSTATCOM application of IPCT is shown using experimental studies, and the validation of the EV charging station has been shown with the help of different scenarios simulated in MATLAB-Simulink.
