Abstract:
Inhabited islands are isolated energy microsystems, with challenges such as cost, pollution, robustness, and external dependency. Consequently, new solutions are needed to face climate change and the penetration of electric vehicles. The paper describes a real use-case in Madeira Island, where a modular and multi-protocol fully-SiC 50-kW V2G charging station has been designed and developed. On the one hand, a 4-leg AC/DC converter provides at the same time a V2G charging point, and a grid stabilizer with balancing capabilities. On the other hand, modular DC/DC resonant converters are used to cover a wide range of voltage and power possibilities, while adding high frequency galvanic isolation.
