A Control Strategy for Improving Resiliency of an DC Fast Charging EV System

As DC fast charging electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure continues to expand, potential challenges loom. One issue is the potential for EV charger outages due to electrical grid voltage transients. Today, EV chargers are expected to disconnect under a severe voltage sag (below 70%) which reduces electric vehicle charging infrastructure resilience. This work proposes a droop-control solution to ride-through voltage sags and maintain operation. The control solution is presented in a controller hardware in the loop platform.
