Abstract

The recent proliferation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations has a serious impact on the power quality of the electricity distribution network. This issue cannot be ignored, as EV chargers are a type of non-linear load. With the increasing presence of non-linear loads in modern power systems due to the influence of EV charging, harmonic distortion, both THD and TDD, will become a significant problem, especially for distribution transformers that supply power to EVs. The increasing number of high-power electric vehicle batteries being charged at DC fast-charging stations, especially those with large load capacities, and when parallel with other vehicles, can cause overloads during peak hours, sudden power gaps, and voltage drops, all of which contribute to power quality issues, particularly in the surrounding electricity grid. Harmonic distortion, particularly due to the access of EV power supplies to the distribution network, which causes increased power quality disturbances, must be eliminated because the resulting odd harmonics will impact the performance of electrical equipment due to the suboptimal P and Q power in the distribution line. To understand the impact of charging electric vehicles, high-efficiency chargers are required in the power grid. Simulations revealed a high harmonic spectrum approaching 25%, but this was reduced to a much lower and safer level using passive filters.

Abstract

Electrical control capacity or quality control capacity in electrical systems has always been very vital. However, the main attention should be focused on the characteristics of the supply voltage, especially in the modern era. A major constraint in the electrical structure is low voltage. Low voltage is a source of disturbance in the electrical system that affects the agility of related electrical equipment and can shorten the life of equipment, including battery components in DC energy systems such as solar panels. To anticipate the situation, low voltage circuit breaker hardware is used to protect batteries and DC devices from low voltage conditions, using a potentiometer as a voltage regulator, IC 7809 as a battery input voltage reducer, a switch to disconnect the battery, a power source, and a voltage display on the LCD screen and microcontroller control using Arduino Nano. The strategy applied can be a growth strategy or a research and development strategy. This approach is the foundation for planning and building the Moo voltage circuit breaker to protect batteries and DC devices. In the voltage test, Moo was able to disconnect the DC battery with ±99.795% accuracy. Standard tests for low voltage circuit breakers at 12 V and 24 V showed a difference of ±0.096 V and an error of ±0.554%.
