 ABSTRACT
• The an advanced modular photovoltaic system designed for Plug-in
Small Electric Vehicles (PsEV) electricity supply in remote
applications.
• The concept is based on the modularity of the photovoltaic (PV)
power supply system(PVbox) that can be multiplied in order to fully
cover the electricity demand of each application.
• Based on that the interconnection between multiple PVboxes is done
via an Intelligent Connection System (ICS) specially designed for this
application.
• During the design phase the adaptability of the system was the primary
focus that determined the PVbox to work as an off-grid system with
the battery storage capacity included and an on-grid back-up.
 INTRODUCTION
• Electric small vehicles continue to be the highest selling on the planet.
• Improving lithium ion (Li-ion) battery technology is resulting in plug-
in small electric vehicles (PsEV) that are lighter, lower in cost, and
remarkably similar to traditional ones.
• Additionally, increasing urbanization and a desire to move away from
cars for motorized transportation are opening up more opportunities
for alternative mobility devices.
• Annual sales of total PsEV in the world’s largest market,China, are
expected to grow considerably over the forecast period due to strong
development in Li-ion battery technology and decreasing costs.

 IMPACT
• The impact of plug-in small electric vehicles (PsEV) on the power
system requires to keep a balance between demands and distributed
consumption points.
• The bulk of electric small vehicles charging is expected to occur at
homes and businesses or in public charging facilities. Rising PsEV
penetration is thus likely to have an impact on low-voltage distribution
grids in residential or commercial areas first.
• In addition, PsEVs, in contrast with other loads on distribution networks,
are not stationary. A greater understanding of PsEV charging patterns and
technologies will thus be necessary to ensure their appropriate integration
into distribution grids.
• When new loads are incorporated into the grid, this translates into
guaranteeing both sufficient energy and capacity are available on
demand.

 TECHNOLOGY
• The technology behind the advanced modular photovoltaic system is
based on converting the energy from the sun to power plug-in small
electric vehicles (PsEV) in urban environment.
• The system will integrate a PV production system, a dc-dc charger
controller and dc-ac inverter in order to create a 3 phase electric
network to power the PsEVs

 System modularity based on the Intelligent Connection System(ICS) developed for the PV system

• The idea was to go beyond actual monitoring systems that rely on each
equipment / system individual communication protocol and create a
unified system in order to have a singularmonitoring and control web
interface accessible at local or remote level.
• The integration of “internet of things” concept to this system is quite a
challenge done by developing a custom web integrated server platform
specific for this application.
 DESIGN AND SPECIFICATIONS
• The concept of the advanced modular system (PVbox) for PsEV is based
on a PV energy conversion system that will be mounted on the box /
container with the conversion equipment and necessary protection
mounted inside.
• This setup will enable the PVbox to be more flexible and easy to move /
setup were the energy is required.
• The solar generator consists of 24 panels with a total power of 6.0 kWp.
• The dc solar panels are connected to the charge controller for dc charge
in the battery pack and to the inverter for dc-ac energy conversion in
order cover the necessary loads detailed in figure.

• The battery pack designed in the PVbox was designed to have the
possibility to charge PsEV also in the periods without sun or cloudy
days when the PV production is limited.
• The battery pack will have 16 batteries at 12V with 4000 Ah total
storage capacity that can cover only a part of the energy demand in a
specific location.
• The battery pack configuration will be at 48V with a total of 1000 Ah
storage capacity.
• Based on the intelligent control algorithm the load distribution will be
done automatically to improve the charge time of each an individual
device.
 PERFORMANCE AND DIAGNOSTICS
• Starting from the design of the PVbox, due to the technical limitations
of the solar systems, one of the most important aspect was to ensure
maximum of performance from the system which translates into
number of PsEV charged by one Pvbox per day.
• Based on this hypothesis and using special PV simulation software
(PVSol) a series of simulation wore done to optimize hardware
configuration of the PVbox.
• As an input for simulation the photovoltaic system components were
added and detailed a simulated load in order to determine the limits of
the system.
• Based on the utility of this system the winter period was not simulated,
only from March –October.

 CONCLUSION
• The results presented in this article provide a solid base for further
development of the PVbox system in order to provide an ecofriendly
and reliable solution for PsEV charging in remote locations.
• The performance of the PVbox, more than justify the development of
this type of RES supply system with the added value given by the
extended autonomy provided by the battery pack installed.
• The PVbox system can be easily used in parks or public places, at
different events, in parking lots and even in local public institutions or
schools, due to its compact design and intelligent load management
system.
