Study of electric vehicle charging infrastructure planning and rollout for Bengaluru

2021

Author(s): Singh A, Kumar A, Balasubramanyam K, Murugesan N, Suri R, Pillai R K, Sharma S

This study looks at the network of the Bengaluru Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM, Karnataka) to assess the capacity of the distribution grid to accommodate the EV load. It then provides holistic guidelines for interventions and business models for BESCOM to adopt and roll out charging infrastructure within its jurisdiction.

ATC- based (available transfer capability) CM (congestion management) has been used in this thesis to relieve the congestion of the system. To enhance the ATC value, the integration of a wind battery system has also been used. Technical challenges i.e., selection of critical zones, optimum location for WPG and BESS, ATC enhancement using proper charging/discharging of battery in a wind battery system, and CM have been considered.

An efficient wireless topology for electric vehicle battery charging

2021

Author(s): Nama, J K

Recent studies on the topological framework of IWPT system declines required adapt ability and performance for regularly updating EV battery technology. Some of the identified regions include variations of the battery voltage, capacity, and management system for the light load (personal) to heavy load (passenger vehicle); adopted topology for on-board operation; topological limitations for control and gating scheme. These reasons have promoted academia and industry-wide efforts to acquire a flexible and adoptable IWPT technology for future EVs.

Electric vehicle sales are rising fast in Europe and a growing number of governments have set targets for phasing out new internal combustion vehicle sales. A fundamental input in deciding the feasibility of such policies is how quickly battery electric vehicles can reach price parity with their internal combustion counterparts. Further improvements in lithium-ion batteries will be critical and manufacturing strategy will also play a role. This report shows trajectories of cost developments for the production of battery electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles, and the implications for the adoption of electric vehicles in Europe.

Solar energy–based EV charging: a pilot and techno-economic study

2021

Author(s): Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP)

The report outlines an intelligent bi-directional converter (PCU) that interfaces with SRTPV and battery systems (with DC coupling) to manage the energy flow with EV chargers and the grid. The prioritisation of solar energy for local consumption before feeding it to the grid, deployment of a novel charging algorithm where the EV charging load is made to follow and the solar energy generation profile. Such a method reduces the need for costly battery energy.
