Customer challenges
in electric vehicle charging stations

The increasing number of electric vehicles (EV) and their charging stations have been pushing the industry towards a more energy-efficient and sustainable era. However, this electrification of transport can pose significant technical challenges to the electric grid. Charging a large number of electric cars at once can overload the grid and may even disturb other loads connected to the same grid as well. Battery energy storage systems are highly recommended to use next to the charging stations to stabilize the grid and help the integration of renewable energy.

EV charging systems are highly non-linear systems, therefor they are also prone to current and voltage harmonics as well as poor power factor. These all shorten the lifetime of batteries and cause premature failure of the charging system. With a suitable filter, poor power factor can be avoided, and the lifetime of sensitive equipment can be preserved.
