Özet

Concerns over fossil fuel depletion, fluctuating fuel prices, and CO2 emissions have accelerated the development of electric vehicle (EV) technologies. This article reviews advancements in EV fast charging technology and explores the development of battery-assisted DC fast charging stations to address the limitations of traditional chargers. Our proposed approach integrates battery storage, allowing chargers to operate independently of the electric grid by storing electrical energy during off-peak hours and releasing it during peak times. This reduces dependence on grid power and enhances grid stability. Moreover, the transformer-less, modular design of the proposed solution offers greater flexibility, scalability, and reduced installation costs. Additionally, the use of smart energy management systems, incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques to dynamically adjust charging rates, will be discussed to optimize efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
