Experimental setup and testing of a lab-scale off-grid electric vehicle charging station
Experimental setup and testing of a lab-scale off-grid electric vehicle charging station
This work presents a lab-scale demonstrator setup to develop a grid-independent electric vehicle (EV) charging station powered fully by renewable energy. The experimental is a 1/100th scale of the required renewable generation, energy storage system and EV charging load profile estimated for on a visitor attraction location in southeast of England as a case study. The paper describes system components, discusses the approach used to emulate renewables generation and presents the model used to predict the EV charging load. The analysis shows that the system can meet the scaled EV charging load demand during the day, and that the battery mainly needs to provide energy during the first period early in the day. The results of simulating a full year of charging station operation by the lab-scale demonstrator using time-accelerated experimental analysis suggest that lower renewables generation can reduce the cost of the system without affecting the efficacy of the charging station to cover the EV load.

Abstract
This work presents a lab-scale demonstrator setup to develop a grid-independent electric vehicle (EV) charging station powered fully by renewable energy. The experimental is a 1/100th scale of the required renewable generation, energy storage system and EV charging load profile estimated for on a visitor attraction location in southeast of England as a case study. The paper describes system components, discusses the approach used to emulate renewables generation and presents the model used to predict the EV charging load. The analysis shows that the system can meet the scaled EV charging load demand during the day, and that the battery mainly needs to provide energy during the first period early in the day. The results of simulating a full year of charging station operation by the lab-scale demonstrator using time-accelerated experimental analysis suggest that lower renewables generation can reduce the cost of the system without affecting the efficacy of the charging station to cover the EV load.
