| Abstract: | In developing technologies of ultrafast (within 5 min) electric vehicle charging, problems occur related to the power supply. The charging station, an analog of a refueling station, should have an extremely irregular load with a high peak power. It might be located far from the possible point of connection to the power grid and should represent an object of decentralized power generation by means of an electrical energy storage system. We consider and compare an autonomous gas-turbine facility and a lead-acid battery as the possible power supply. We found an averaged statistically optimal relation between the gas turbine power (or the contracted power) and the battery capacity providing for minimum expenses, reduced to the service life, for creation and exploitation of the station of ultrafast charging of a given number of electric vehicles per day. |
