Investments in grid upgrades are required to deliver the significant power demand of the charging stations which can exceed 100 kW for a single charger. Yet the energy demand of the charging stations is highly intermittent. Both of these issues can be resolved by energy storage systems (ESS).
Battery storage systems investigated ranged in size from 65 kWh/5 kW to 18MWh/3.6 MW (where the capacity of the line connecting the microgrid to the grid is 10 MW), naturally depending on the size of the microgrid.
Battery energy storage system sizing criteria There are a range of performance indicators for determining the size of BESS, which can be used either individually or combined to optimise the system. Studies on sizing BESS in terms of optimisation criteria can be divided into three classifications: financial, technical and hybrid criteria.
Batteries as a storage system have the power capacity to charge or discharge at a fast rate, and energy capacity to absorb and release energy in the longer-term to reduce electricity costs to the consumers.
Both of these issues can be resolved by energy storage systems (ESS). The required connection power of an EV charging plaza, i.e., peak load, can be decreased by levelling the power demand by an ESS: the ESS is charged during low EV charging power demand and discharged during high power demand.
The total EV charging energy is 22.3 MWh per station per year. The results show that as the PL and the charging plaza size increase, the relative ESS power and energy requirements and the utilization rate of the ESS decrease. This decrease is faster with low PLs and small plaza sizes and slows down with the increasing PL and charging plaza size.
