Utilization of Electric Vehicles (EVs) have been growing popularity in recent years due to increment in fuel price and lack of natural resources. Random unexpected charging by home EV charger in distribution is predicted in the future. The power quality problems such as fluctuation of power factor in a residential distribution network was explored with random EV chargers. This paper proposes a high-performance nonlinear sliding mode controller (SMC) for an EV charging system to compensate voltage distortions and to enhance the power factor against the unbalanced EV chargers. For the verification of the proposed scheme, MATLAB-Simulink simulations are performed on 22.9-kV grid. The results show that the proposed scheme can improve the power factor of a smart grid due to the EV chargers on the grid.

This study proposes an electric vehicle (EV) smart panel board and its control method on the basis of charging scheduling. The proposed system consists of batteries, a three-phase battery charger, three single-phase inverters, transfer switches for electric power distribution, and a controller. The three-phase battery charger usually charges the batteries at midnight when electric rates are cheap and in light load. When the electric power consumption of the EV standard chargers connected to one phase of the power line is relatively large or when a blackout occurs, the electric power stored in the battery is supplied by discharging through the inverters to the EV standard chargers. As a result, the value of peak load and the charging electric power quantity supplied from a utility grid are reduced, and the current unbalance is improved. The usefulness of the proposed system is confirmed through simulations, experiments, and case studies.

Recently, many studies have suggested that an electric vehicle (EV) is one of the means for increasing the reliability of power systems in new energy environments. EVs can make a contribution to improving reliability by providing frequency regulation in power systems in which the Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology has been implemented and, if economically viable, can be helpful in increasing power system reliability. This paper presents a stochastic method for optimal coordination of charging and frequency regulation decisions for an EV aggregator using the Least Square Monte-Carlo (LSMC) with modeling of electricity price uncertainty. The LSMC can be used to assess the value of options based on electricity price uncertainty in order to simultaneously optimize the scheduling of EV charging and regulation service for the EV aggregator. The results of a numerical example show that the proposed method can significantly improve the expected profits of an EV aggregator.

In this paper, proposed a multi-channel charging control strategy for electric vehicle. This control strategy can adjust the charging power according to the calculated state-of-charge (SOC). Electric vehicle (EV) charging system using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed. A stochastic optimization algorithm technique such as PSO in the time-of-use (TOU) price used for the energy cost minimization. Simulation results show that the energy cost can be reduced using proposed method.

As wireless power transfer (WPT) technology using strongly coupled electromagnetic resonators is a recently explored technique to realize the large power delivery and storage without any cable or wire, this technique is required for diffusion of electric vehicles (EVs) since it makes possible a convenient charging system. Typically, since the normal conducting coils are used as a transmitting coil in the CPT system, there is limited to deliver the large power promptly in the contactless EV charging system. From this reason, we proposed the combination CPT technology with HTS transmitting antenna, it is called as, superconducting contactless power transfer for EV (SUWPT4EV) system. As the HTS coil has an enough current density, it can deliver a mass amount of electric energy in spite of a small scale antenna. The SUCPT4EV system has been expected as a noble option to improve the transfer efficiency of large electric power. Such a system consists of two resonator coils; HTS transmitting antenna (Tx) coil and normal conducting receiver (Rx) coil. Especially, the impedance matching for each resonator is a sensitive and plays an important role to improve transfer efficiency as well as delivery distance. In this study, we examined the improvement of transmission efficiency and properties for HTS and copper antennas, respectively, within 45 cm distance. Thus, we obtained improved transfer efficiency with HTS antenna over 15% compared with copper antenna. In addition, we achieved effective impedance matching conditions between HTS antenna and copper receiver at radio frequency (RF) power of 370 kHz.

OPC UA로 명명된 국제 표준 IEC62541은 스마트 그리드(Smart Grid)와 스마트 팩토리(Smart Factory)의 응용 플랫폼을 위한 통신 프로토콜이다. 2011년 IEC TC57 그룹에서 표준화되었으며, 다른 표준들과의 협업을 통해 점차 사용범위를 넓히고 있다. 전기자동차 보급을 위한 정부 차원의 노력("전기차 충전인프라 확산 캠페인")으로 인해 스마트 팩토리에서 충전을 시도하는 전기자동차의 수는 점차적으로 증가할 것을 예상된다. 제어되지 않는 무분별한 전기자동차 충전으로 인해 스마트 팩토리의 최대수요전력을 초과하는 문제를 발생시킬 수 있다. 그러므로 스마트 팩토리 내에 전기자동차 충전 시 피크부하를 관리할 필요성이 있다. 그러나 현재의 전기자동차 충전을 위한 표준은 스마트 팩토리의 통신 프로토콜과 다르다. 다시 말해서, 편의성을 높이고, 부담을 줄 일 수 있는 프로토콜의 개발 또는 호환성 제공에 관한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문은 스마트 팩토리에 설치되는 전기자동차 충전 시스템을 스마트 팩토리 관리시스템과 통합 관리하기 위한 플랫폼에 관한 것이다. 본 논문에서는 IEC61851과 IEC62541에 기반을 둔 전기자동차 충전기 관리 시스템을 구현한다.

The charging methods of electric vehicles are divided into wired charging and wireless charging. Restrictions on the use of charging infrastructure for wireless charging vehicles currently exist because most charging infrastructure uses the wired charging method. Thus, wired and wireless integrated charging system has been studied. In this system, a wireless charging system especially requires a control method for high-efficiency operation in consideration of a change in a coupling coefficient. Therefore, this paper introduces two control methods for the high-efficiency operation of wireless charging that can be applied to wired and wireless integrated charging systems. In addition, loss analysis is performed through PSIM simulation to select a more advantageous method for high-efficiency operation among the two control methods. To verify the simulation-based loss analysis result, the two control methods are applied to the actual wireless charging system, and the efficiency is compared through the experiments Based on the experimental results, a control method suitable for high-efficiency operation of the wireless charging method is selected.

기존의 고정형 EV(electric vehicle) 충전기는 이용률이 증가하게 되면 충전 인프라 설비 부족으로 인해 사용자의 충전 대기시간이 길어지는 불편함이 발생할 수 있고, EV 충전기를 증설하는 경우, 배전선로(지중) 증설비용 및 선로의 전압강하로 인한 전력품질 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 상기의 문제점을 해결하고, EV 충전기 부족으로 인한 불편함을 해결할 수 있는 EV용 이동형 전원공급장치(movable power supply device, MPSD)를 제안한다. 제안한 MPSD는 태양광전원부, 에너지저장부, EV용 충전기부, 감시제어부로 구성되고, 사용자의 환경요소에 따라 MPSD를 유연하게 이용할 수 있도록 3가지 운용모드로 나눌 수 있다. 또한, 경제성 평가 모델링을 비용요소와 편익요소로 구분한다. 여기서, MPSD의 비용요소로는 태양광전원부, 에너지저장부, EV 충전기부, 감시제어부의 설비비용과 기존의 EV 충전기 설비비용, 배전선로 증설비용, 기존의 EV 충전기 운용비용등의 편익요소로 구성되며, 이를 바탕으로 현재 가치 환산법을 사용하여 경제성을 평가한 결과, MPSD가 기존의 고정형 EV 충전기보다 유리함을 알 수 있었고, 설치지점의 거리에 따라 편익이 크게 좌우함을 확인하였다.
