Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of grid voltage control strategies for heavy-duty electric vehicle charging stations. The performance of three voltage control approaches - including power factor control, standardized volt-volt ampere reactive (VAR) curve control, and customized volt-VAR curve control - are investigated and evaluated for three different sizes of charging stations, including a single-port charging station, a midsized three-port charging station, and six-port travel center. The charging stations are placed on multiple locations of four different types of distribution systems to obtain a comprehensive performance analysis of the voltage control approaches under different scenarios. To quantitively compare the performance of the three voltage control approaches, a series of metrics are designed to quantify the performance and contribute to the comprehensive analysis.
