Renewable energy sources can decrease the energy usage of the electricity grid. Various renewable energies are being harnessed to produce electricity. Over the past few years, there has been a notable increase in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), which could enhance the integration of distributed renewable energy generation. This paper discusses the design and control of a photovoltaic system and the integration of electric vehicles into a grid-connected AC Microgrid (MG). The system includes a photovoltaic setup connected through a double-stage configuration and an electric vehicle. The paper’s objective is to feed power into the AC bus from the EV and photovoltaic sources while also sharing power with the main grid, maintaining a unity power factor.

摘要

Renewable energy sources can decrease the energy usage of the electricity grid. Various renewable energies are being harnessed to produce electricity. Over the past few years, there has been a notable increase in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), which could enhance the integration of distributed renewable energy generation. This paper discusses the design and control of a photovoltaic system and the integration of electric vehicles into a grid-connected AC Microgrid (MG). The system includes a photovoltaic setup connected through a double-stage configuration and an electric vehicle. The paper’s objective is to feed power into the AC bus from the EV and photovoltaic sources while also sharing power with the main grid, maintaining a unity power factor. Regarding grid support, the MG offers ancillary services such as frequency stabilization. The findings show that the proposed system ensures high performance in terms of power quality, stability, and tracking.
