Power Control Strategy for an Electric Vehicle Charger Based on Virtual Synchronous Machine
摘要
With the continuous improvement of the popularity of electric vehicles (EV), EV are increasing day by day, and their charge-discharge behavior brings great challenges to the current power grid. This paper proposes a new power control strategy for EV chargers. This strategy is based on virtual synchronous machine (VSM) control technology. Through this strategy, the grid-side converter of the EV charger can simulate the operating characteristics of the active frequency regulation and reactive voltage regulation of the synchronous machine. At the same time, this paper develops a platform model using MATLAB/Simulink, and simulates and verifies its performance. When multiple EV are connected, the operating power of the EV charger can be allocated according to the condition of the battery. It can still operate when there is a frequency deviation in the system, improving battery life, safety, and system stability.
