Do EV charging stations really need energy storage?
EV charging stations do need energy storage. With the increase in the number of electric vehicles, the impact and burden of charging stations on the power grid are increasing, and adding energy storage systems has become a necessary solution. Energy storage systems can alleviate the impact of charging stations on the power grid and improve its stability and economy.
Energy storage charging station is an intelligent charging infrastructure that integrates photovoltaic power generation, energy storage system and electric vehicle charging piles. Its main function is to achieve efficient use of clean energy and stability of power supply through energy storage and optimized configuration.
Compared with traditional single charging stations, this power station has significant advantages such as multi-energy complementarity, energy saving and environmental protection, and peak load reduction. In actual operation, it can maximize economic and social benefits through optimized configuration and dispatching management.
Benefits of Deploying Energy Storage
1 EV charging stations with solar PV and BESS achieve energy self-sufficiency under appropriate conditions. They generate electricity through solar energy during the day and use the stored electricity at night, reducing dependence on the traditional power grid and playing the role of peak-shaving and valley-filling.
2 In the long run, integrated photovoltaic storage and charging systems reduce energy costs, especially when there is no solar energy. Moreover, integrated photovoltaic storage and charging stations can reduce operating costs and improve economic benefits through peak-valley electricity price arbitrage. They store electricity during periods of low electricity prices and use or sell electricity during peak periods to maximize financial benefits.
3 As new energy vehicles increase, the demand for charging piles is also rising. The integrated system usually includes electric vehicle charging equipment, and users connect electric vehicles to the system for charging. This allows electric vehicles to be charged through solar power generation, thereby reducing dependence on traditional power grids.
Integrated photovoltaic, energy storage and charging systems can provide more stable and reliable charging services, meet the rapidly growing charging demand, improve the charging experience of car owners, and help improve the market acceptance of new energy vehicles.
4 The integration of photovoltaic, energy storage, and charging provides a new model for commercial operations. For example, combined with new power market services such as demand response and virtual power plants, it will drive the development of photovoltaic, energy storage, charging equipment, and related industrial chains, and promote economic growth and employment.
