Megawatt Charging Multidirectional Microgrids

V2X在管理车辆、建筑物和配电网络之间的电力流动方面具有巨大潜力，电动汽车电池存储可以缓解需求。通过新兴的兆瓦级充电系统（MCS）标准对电动hgv （ehgv）进行超高功率充电，为车辆与所连接的建筑物、微电网或配电网络之间提供了相当大的电源管理机会和挑战。该项目涉及创新设备的设计和集成，包括一个本地直流微电网，该微电网将以兆瓦级的功率为ehgv提供多向充电。它将以集成能量存储为特色，利用最新一代的固态开关设备缓冲高功率流，以实现最高的效率、更小的尺寸和最低的成本。微电网将通过使其简单、可扩展和降低将电动汽车连接到配电网的成本，释放需求和供应管理的潜力。MCS预计将从2025年开始引入，以支持越来越多的ehgv正在开发。它们为V2X提供了巨大的潜力，因为车辆电池容量大，而且eHGV车队行驶的路线是预先确定的；因此，它们的动向和可用性是可以预测的。车队运营商还可以通过利用汽车电池作为储能资产，从较低的总拥有成本中获益。我们的目标是通过使大功率电动汽车与电网的接口尽可能简单和通用来实现这一点。

V2X offers great potential in managing power flows between vehicles, buildings and the electric distribution network with EV battery storage mitigating demand.Very high-power charging via the emerging megawatt charging system (MCS) standard for electric HGVs (eHGVs) offers considerable power management opportunities and challenges between the vehicle and the building, microgrid, or distribution network to which it is connected.This project involves the design and integration of innovative equipment comprising a local DC microgrid that will provide multidirectional charging with eHGVs at megawatt power levels.It will feature integral energy storage to buffer the high-power flows with equipment utilising the latest generation of solid-state switching devices to achieve the highest efficiency, reduced size, and lowest cost. Microgrids will unlock the potential for demand and supply management by making it simple, scalable and reduce the cost of connecting EVs to the electric distribution network.MCS is expected to be introduced from 2025 onwards to support the increasing number of eHGVs being developed. They offer great potential for V2X because of the large capacity of the vehicle batteries and the fact that eHGV fleets drive pre-determined routes; hence their movements and availability are predictable. Fleet operators also stand to benefit from a lower total cost of ownership by utilising their vehicle batteries as energy storage assets. Our objective is to enable this by making high-power, EV interfacing to the grid as easy and versatile as possible.
