Abstract
The coordinated development of charging points reveals to be crucial in supporting the envisaged diffusion of electric vehicles, along with their proper design to ensure smart and fast charging performances and economic advantages for drivers. The integration of charging points with local generation and storage can enhance this process. In this paper, the structure of a modular electric vehicle supply infrastructure is proposed. It is based on the integration of photovoltaic rooftops, energy storage and electric vehicle stations in a DC microgrid, enabling coordination and control as well as the functions of bidirectional charging and the possibility to provide grid services at connection point. The main features of the technical demonstrator are described, along with the targeted innovations for system manager and final user, and the possible control functions involving operation planning, real time control and ancillary service market inclusion.Keywords
