PV to PEV Power Transfer for Standalone Solar Power System
Published by Burak AKIN, Yıldız Technical University Abstract. In this paper, efficient PV to PEV’s li–ion battery power transfer is investigated. Dual-interleaved boost topology is applied to the PV to PEV direct power transfer system as DC-DC converter. Proposed dual interleaved boost topology is reached 97 % total efficiency with inversely coupled input boost inductances.Continue reading “PV to PEV Power Transfer for Standalone Solar Power System”

Electrical Vehicle Impact on Distribution Network Power Quality
Published by Sampsa KUPARI, Metropolia, Helsinki University of Applied Sciences Abstract: The electrical vehicle form a huge load (and occasionally a generator as well) that is not resistive but possibly of nonlinear character. This may have an effect on distribution network power quality and possibly disturb seriously other consumers. If this is not taken careContinue reading “Electrical Vehicle Impact on Distribution Network Power Quality”
