Megawatt Charging Multidirectional Microgrids

V2X在管理车辆、建筑物和配电网络之间的电力流方面具有巨大潜力，电动汽车电池存储可缓解需求。通过新兴的兆瓦级充电系统（MCS）标准为电动HGV（eHGV）提供极高功率充电，为车辆和建筑物、微电网、该项目涉及创新设备的设计和集成，包括本地直流微电网，该微电网将在兆瓦级功率水平上提供多方向的eHGV充电。它将具有整体储能功能，以缓冲高-功率流与利用最新一代固态开关器件的设备一起实现最高效率、减小尺寸和最低成本。微电网将通过简化、可扩展并降低将电动汽车连接到配电网的成本来释放需求和供应管理的潜力。MCS预计将从2025年开始引入，以支持越来越多的正在开发的eHGV。它们为V2X提供了巨大的潜力，因为车辆电池容量大，而且eHGV车队行驶预定的路线;因此它们的移动和可用性是可预测的。车队运营商也将受益于较低的总拥有成本，将其车辆电池用作储能资产。我们的目标是通过使大功率电动汽车尽可能简单和通用地连接到电网来实现这一目标。

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.
