Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati have developed optimised control schemes for active power distribution networks that can enable coordinated operation of photovoltaic power generation and electric vehicle charging stations. The research was recently published in the prestigious journal ‘Sustainable Energy, Grids and Networks’ and will help regulate voltages generated by intermittent photovoltaic (PV) systems while also paving the way for electric vehicles to participate in the active power distribution scheme.
According to officials, electric vehicles (EVs) are being increasingly considered as the solution to carbon emissions from the transportation sector.
