Abstract

This paper presents a multi-layer control framework that can improve resilience of an electric vehicle (EV) charging system when a device fault occurs in an EV charger power converter. The multi-layer framework built in a hierarchical structure allows fast protection and device fault ride through (DFRT), active status monitoring, and control optimization to improve the charging resilience. The feasibility and the effectiveness of the DFRT response and the control optimization are verified through controller hardware-in-the-loop demonstration.
