Distributed Generation Approach with Helping of Charging Stations

Abstract

This study addresses the optimization difficulties created by the combination of distributed generation (DG) and charging stations (CS), with the key difference that charging stations not only permit electric vehicle charging but also actively contribute to power supply. Using Convex Optimization (CVX) methods, the study formulates and solves optimization issues for coordinating and controlling DG units, taking into account charging stations' dual roles as power suppliers. The findings indicate that EVs can significantly contribute to grid stability, but challenges such as battery degradation and the need for advanced battery management systems (BMS) must be addressed to optimize these benefits. Simulation results show a potential improvement in grid stability the promise and the practical considerations of this innovative approach.

Şarj İstasyonlarının Yardımıyla Dağıtık Üretim Yaklaşımı

Abstract

Bu makale, dağıtık enerji üretimi (DG) ve şarj istasyonlarının entegrasyonundan kaynaklanan optimizasyon zorluklarına odaklanmaktadır. Özel bir nokta ise şarj istasyonlarının yalnızca elektrikli araç şarjını kolaylaştırmakla kalmayıp aynı zamanda aktif bir şekilde enerji tedarik etmeleridir. Convex Optimization (CVX) yöntemlerini kullanarak, çalışma, şarj istasyonlarını enerji tedarikçisi olarak dikkate alarak DG birimlerini koordine etmek ve kontrol etmek için optimizasyon problemlerini formüle etmekte ve çözmektedir. Bu yaklaşımın amacı, şebeke istikrarını artırmak ve enerji dağıtımını optimize etmektir. Bulgular, EV'lerin şebeke istikrarına önemli ölçüde katkıda bulunabileceğini, ancak bu faydaları optimize etmek için pilin bozulması ve gelişmiş pil yönetim sistemlerine (BMS) duyulan ihtiyaç gibi zorlukların ele alınması gerektiğini gösteriyor. Simülasyon sonuçları, şebeke istikrarında potansiyel bir iyileşme olduğunu, bu yenilikçi yaklaşımın vaadini ve pratik hususlarını göstermektedir.
