Smart Charging and V2G: Enhancing a Hybrid Energy Storage
This paper introduces a novel testing environment that integrates unidirectional and bidirectional charging infrastructures into an existing hybrid energy storage system.
The typical case of using a bidirectional charger is the most beneficial in photovoltaic generation with connected battery storage. If we are able to power the vehicles at cheaper rates or use the car battery to store excess energy from a photovoltaic installation, this energy can be used at times when energy is more expensive.
In addition, with the proposed strategies, the bidirectional charging/discharging capability of the battery is able to achieve the maximum PV power utilization. All the proposed strategies can be realized by the digital signal processor without adding any additional circuit, component, and communication mechanism.
This paper presents the design and simulation of a bi-directional battery charging and discharging converter capable of interacting with the grid.
Therefore, bidirectional power flow control strategies are proposed to achieve the maximum PV power utilization as well as to realize the hybrid charging methods. In addition, with the proposed strategies, the bidirectional charging/discharging capability of the battery is able to achieve the maximum PV power utilization.
