The coupled photovoltaic-energy storage-charging station (PV-ES-CS) is an important approach of promoting the transition from fossil energy consumption to low-carbon energy use. However, the integrated charging station is underdeveloped. One of the key reasons for this is that there lacks the evaluation of its economic and environmental benefits.
Solar-and-energy storage-integrated charging stations typically encompass several essential components: solar panels, energy storage systems, inverters, and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). Moreover, the energy management system (EMS) is integrated within the converters, serving to regulate the power output.
For energy storage inside the fast-charging station, it was shown that high demand on cycle life and other requirements, such as short storage time, high power and long targeted service life clearly favor flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) over supercapcitors or batteries.
Using energy storage with less capacity can save cost and weight. For the example considered, a BOL capacity of 90 kWh (80% reduction in respect to the previous example) is assumed. Given the recharge power of 540 kW, this corresponds in a charging C-rate of 6, too high for a ‘high energy’ optimized battery.
Fig. A1. Local optimal solution and global optimal solution. In order to make the integer variables (the number of charging piles) optimizable in an effective way, the charging demand of EVs in the PV-ES-CS is calculated under different numbers of charging piles at first, then the demand is called in the optimization program directly.
According to the system design, the energy storage device has a capacity of 300 kW/800 kWh. Taking into account the depth of discharge (DoD) of the lithium-ion battery, the SOC is set to be between 20% and 90%.
