Simulation of electric vehicle charging station and harmonic treatment

Because of less pollution and low consumption, electric vehicles play an important role in solving the energy shortage and environmental degradation problems. But harmonics will be generated during the charging process of electric vehicles because of the existence of nonlinear equipments, it will affect the power quality and system operating seriously. In this paper, the simulation model of electric vehicle charging station is built and the characteristic of harmonics generated during charging process are analyzed, then passive filters are added to the model.
