Abstract
The paper presents a novel and futuristic architecture for a megawatt charging system (MCS) capable of charging light, medium, and heavy-duty vehicles. The station architecture consists of multiport systems with each multiport interfacing the grid, EV, PV, and energy storage system through an intermediate DC bus. The station being a “system of systems” requires a complex software layer with intelligence, control, and communication for effective coordination and utilization of the power electronic interfaces and the assets. The paper elaborates on the station architecture and the associated software layer used for control and coordination. Additionally, the paper provides an approach to utilize hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) capabilities to validate such architectures.
