How to protect an EV’s on-board charger from transient grid surges – Charged EVs

Baua Electric

In addition to the heat, voltage transients, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) in the automotive environment, the on-board charger must interface with the AC power grid, requiring protection from AC line disturbances for reliable operation. Table 1 lists maximum surge voltages up to 4kV. The IEEE C62.41.2-2002 2002 Standard 1.2/50

China’s battery storage capacity growth likely to slow in 2024 – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Grid-connected battery farms back up renewables when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing and are considered important to help integrate clean energy into power grids. This is particularly important for China, which has minimal natural gas capacity, a more flexible power source than slow-ramping coal plants.
