A Road to Wind Based PHEVs Smart Charging Station

The introduction of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) in the transportation sector has facilitated the public in terms of reducing fossil fuels consumption and pollution problems. However, the growing popularity of PHEVs create new technical problems in the power system in terms of grid stability and upgradation of distribution transformers. To balance the extra load of PHEVs, a smart charging station based on wind output power sensing is presented in this paper. The required charging of PHEVs batteries is coordinately satisfied from wind and/or grid integrated wind generation. The operation of the proposed smart charging station is effectively completed in seven possible different interactions among the PHEVs, wind and the grid via different switching modes. Matlab/Simulink results are presented to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed charging station.
