Grid connection considerations for DC fast charging infrastructure

Setec Powerr

This depends on the number of DC and AC chargers you plan to install and their capacity. DC chargers provide a higher amount of power to electric vehicles, hence requiring more from the grid. Is There Local Grid Supply Competition? All these influence the cost and complexity of the grid connection.

Researchers developing DC micro smart grid for charging EV fleets; Li-ion, redox flow batteries and renewables

Green Car Congress

The aim of charge@work is to design a micro smart grid (MSG) capable of supplying the EV fleet with electricity produced exclusively from renewable sources. The MSG can be run in island mode in parallel to the grid operated by the local energy provider. The MSG is designed as a direct current (DC) grid.
