Structures and Topologies for Realization of Charging Station for EVs

In the current paper basic structures and topologies for implementation in charging stations for electric vehicles are presented. The main purpose of the manuscript is to consider, describe and classify the different types of power supply, energy storage elements and electronic converter in charging stations and in hybrid and electric vehicles. An intelligent methodology for energy management is presented to ensure the necessary power when charging electric vehicles. AC and DC powered architectures for building charging stations are presented. The main advantages and disadvantages of different topologies are described and discussed.
