Optimal Battery Energy Storage System Sizing for Demand Charge Management in EV Fast Charging Stations

The high pulsating demand of fast charging stations (FCS) may cause monthly demand charges to account for a significant fraction of a station's electric bill. To reduce these costs, demand charge management can be applied to suppress peak power demands at FCSs, also using battery energy storage systems (BESS). This paper proposes a multi...

Optimal Battery Energy Storage System Sizing in EV Fast Charging Applications: A Multi-objective Framework for Demand Charge Management at Fast Charging Stations using Genetic Algorithms

The need for proper fast charging infrastructures is one of the key challenges for the wide adoption of elec- trical vehicles (EV). The high pulsating demand of fast charging stations (FCS) together with high demand tariffs can cause monthly DSO demand charges to account for a significant fraction of a station’s electric bill. Therefore,...

Design of a Bi-directional Flyback DC/DC converter: For a stand-alone solar-powered eBike charging station

This document is the bachelor graduation thesis of BAP Group B2. Together with BAP Group<br/>B1 the objective of this project was to create a control network and DC/DC converter implementation<br/>capable of fast, analog power management with active, remote-control and -interfacing of<br/>multiple converter’s energy flows. The system will be...
