Simulation Study of System Operating Efficiency of EV Charging Stations with Different Power Supply Topologies

Abstract:

This paper discusses the effect of power supply and power conversion structure on system operating efficiency of an EV charging station. The system efficiencies of two EV charging stations (ECS), AC bus (ABECS) and DC bus (DBECS), are evaluated by a simulation analysis. The effect of power conversion structure is investigated by an analytical model constructed in MATLAB. Based on the battery characteristics, we build an energy loss model of various components of EV charging stations with different topologies including distribution transformer, power cable and charger with different conversion structure. Using this model, the system operation efficiencies of charging stations equipped with an AC or a DC supply bus are compared. The comparative results for both power supplies, acquired by the appropriate MATLAB/Simulink simulations, are presented.
