Abstract
The paper proposes the adaptation of the industrial plant’s power network to supply electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging converters (above 300 kW) using renewable energy sources (RESs). A 600 V DC microgrid was used to supply energy from RESs for the needs of variable speed motor drives and charging of EV batteries. It has been shown that it is possible to support the supply of drive voltage frequency converters (VFCs) and charging of EV batteries converters with renewable energy from a 600 V DC microgrid, which improves the power quality indicators in the power system. The possibility of implementing the fast EV batteries charging station to the industrial plant’s power system in such a way that the system energy demand is not increased has also been shown. The EV battery charging station using the drive converter has been presented, as well as the results of simulation and laboratory tests of the proposed solution.
