Hybrid EV Charging Solutions
Hybrid charging system (HCS) refers to combining a utility grid with the OGCS to form a complete charging system. As we move toward Smart Grid, the roles of communication and power are prominent.
There are several advantages associated with combining a utility grid with OGCS. The most important benefit is that it makes the charging ecosystem more reliable and robust. The utility grid can be utilized to power EVs during any unforeseen situations when lack of a power supply from renewable energy sources occurs. The interconnection with the utility grid also facilitates transfer of power to the utility grid when there is an excess generation of power from renewable energy source (RES).
The other advantage is a smaller investment in energy storage solutions (ESS). With HCS we optimize the cost and offer an effective way of maintaining and running the charging ecosystem.
