Power Quality Enhancement in Integrated Grid for EVs Charging Stations Using Active Filter

The concern over greenhouse gas emissions and their role in global warming is one of the main drivers behind the introduction of electric cars into the market. There are several reasons for users to prefer electric cars (EVs), such as improved performance, reduced environmental impact from zero carbon emissions, and other benefits. Energy sustainability requires consumers to be aware of the environment and to have a vision for renewable energy. This article is related to the designing of charging station with active filter for mitigation of total harmonic distortion. The purpose of this article is to reduce the total harmonic distortion and improving power quality. The results are obtained in terms of output voltage waveform, output current waveform, active and reactive output power, SOC of battery system using FFT analysis for THD with and without active filter. The methodology proposed uses simulink on MATLAB environment.
