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,...
