Fast charging emulation system for electric vehicles

Current implantation of electric mobility systems requires the use of fast charge stations. It is necessary to establish a methodology and some test standards in order to characterize the quality of the energy transferred by these stations to the vehicle, and the impact caused by them in the supply grid. To achieve this goal, a methodology is proposed, using a flexible power electronics system which allows simulating the behavior of an electric vehicle (EV) while it is being charged. By using this system it is possible to verify the proper operation of the charge equipment, facing it to different charge profiles during an unlimited number of operations, in a safe way, and not having the need for an actual vehicle.
