Abstract

Battery energy storage systems (BESSs) are known as a potential solution to integrate renewables and electric vehicle (EV) charging in the power system. This article compares the direct grid installation of ultra-fast chargers (UFCs) with a hybrid system inclusive of a reconfigurable BESS, a photovoltaic (PV) unit, two UFCs and a grid connection. The hybrid system is simulated with an optimization model, which reveals that the overall efficiency of the system plays a major role in determining the power grid exchange. Results show that the hybrid system can increase the local PV consumption while reducing the grid impact of EV charging. Based on yearly results, the hybrid system shows potential for further improving the utilization of the BESS and unlocking new revenue streams.
