Abstract

This work proposes a modeling framework for avoiding overloading of the power grid by charging electric vehicles, by using discrete controller synthesis. These models are systematically built by using synchronous data-flow languages, as symbolically. In this work, the following problems are detailed. The first phase is to identify the steps to avoid power overload to the grid. And, it is revealed how the plant is handled as a discrete event control problem. Then, the use of the resulted controller as a power-grid charging manager for electric vehicles is presented. Finally, the modeling and synthesis algorithms presented in the study are validated with an experimental application.

Elektrikli Araçların Şarjı ile Güç Şebekesine Aşırı Yüklenilmesinin Ayrık Denetleyici Sentezi ile Önlenilmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışma elektrikli araçların şarjı ile güç şebekesine aşırı yüklenilmesinin önlenebilmesi için ayrık denetleyici sentezi yöntemi ile bir modelleme çerçevesi önermektedir; burada, modeller senkron veri akış dilleri ailesi ile sembolik olarak sistematik bir şekilde inşa edilmiştir. Çalışmada, şebekeye aşırı güç yüklenilmesinin önüne geçecek adımların nasıl belirlendiği, belirtilen mevcut sorunun nasıl ayrık olayların kontrol problemi olarak ele alındığı ve nihayetinde ortaya çıkan sentezlenen bir denetleyicinin elektrikli araçlar şebeke şarj yöneticisi olarak nasıl kullanıldığı detaylandırılır. Son olarak, çalışma kapsamında sunulan modelleme ve sentez algoritmaları deneysel bir uygulama ile doğrulanır.
