Resumen
This article presents a photovoltaic (PV)-powered charging station for electric vehicles with power management that integrates vehicle-to-grid (V2G). Based on a DC microgrid integrating PV sources, the charging station is controlled by a searching peak and valley algorithm. Following the description and the validation simulation, a PV-powered charging station for electric vehicles represents a high potential for application because it can be easily implemented as a project pilot in urban areas.
