Design Consideration Regarding a Residential Renewable-Based Microgrid with EV Charging Station Capabilities

Electric Vehicles (EVs) will be a key component of sustainable e-transportation systems. It is important to provide charging infrastructure for EVs. EVs are “zero” polluting and highly efficient, but these qualities valid only if the EV supplied from renewable energy sources (RES). In urban areas, there lot unused space such as roofs residential enterprise buildings, parking lots, building facades, etc. cities, PV small wind turbines RES should able supply with clean energy. Such solution has many advantages. an EU-financed research project, team developed Residential Charging Station (RCS), design being implemented equipment available on market. this paper, considerations some challenges raised by it presented. Improvements existing better suit future needs further discussed. The proposed solves matter optimally implementing offer Smart Cities RCS public access several useful properties.
