In this project, a new concept for flexible electric vehicles charging stations will be developed using emerging technologies and control methods deployed in distributed generation systems and microgrids. To that end, a novel distributed coordination strategy between the grid and dedicated energy storage systems converters will be implemented, providing seamless expandability and robustness of the
system. Theoretical analysis of grid performance indicators in the case of high HEV penetration will be conducted. Dynamic system model of fast hybrid electric vehicles charging station based on different energy storage systems technologies will be developed. Real time simulation study and assessment of operation will be conducted on a laboratory experimental rig on reduced scale model located in Denmark, Aalborg university. Finally, conceptualization of ancillary management service to balance charging needs with grid/market demands will be done.
