Energy Storage Solutions for Efficient Management of Fast EV Charging Stations

Abstract

The proposed invention introduces an energy storage solution for fast electric vehicle (EV) charging stations designed to optimize energy management, reduce operational costs, and improve grid stability. The system includes a battery storage unit that stores energy during off-peak times and releases it during peak demand, helping to prevent grid overloads and enabling cost savings by utilizing cheaper off-peak electricity. The energy management system (EMS) dynamically controls energy flow to EV chargers based on real-time demand, grid conditions, and renewable energy availability. Additionally, the system supports vehicle-to-grid (V2G) integration, allowing stored energy to be returned to the grid when needed. The energy storage solution is scalable, modular, and designed to integrate with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind. This invention offers a sustainable, cost-effective, and reliable way to meet the growing demand for fast EV charging while contributing to cleaner energy usage and supporti

Specification

Description:The proposed system falls within the field of energy storage solutions for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. Specifically, it addresses the need for efficient and sustainable energy management in fast EV charging stations. As the demand for EVs grows, the need for high-speed charging infrastructure is becoming critical. Fast charging stations require substantial amounts of electrical power, which can strain local electrical grids, lead to peak demand spikes, and result in increased operational costs. The invention focuses on integrating advanced energy storage technologies, such as lithium-ion or solid-state batteries, into charging stations to store electricity during periods of low demand and release it when demand is high. This not only optimizes grid usage but also ensures a more stable power supply for rapid vehicle charging. The system enables peak shaving, load leveling, and improves charging station efficiency, contributing to both cost savings and a greener energy ecosystem. It also prom , Claims:1.
