Abstract |
Charging of electric vehicles, in particular fast charging, in cities is major challenge for the existing AC infrastructure. Even charging multiple vehicles overnight quickly overloads the low-voltage distribution grid. In addition, as the automotive industry launches the proposition that fast charging up to 350 kW is a customer requirement, offering fast-charging stations could become a business opportunity. In this presentation, solid state solutions are presented that build on existing AC infrastructure to accommodate high-power charging. |
