Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructures and its Challenges

The book presents basic terminologies of charging infrastructures such as types, levels, and suitable power converters applications. Various energy storage technologies, such as lithium-ion batteries charging strategies and battery management system (BMS) and battery swapping, are discussed in the book. In this book, some guidelines by the Ministry of Power and Ministry of Housing (Government of India) are discussed which can help an individual to set up a charging infrastructure at their end. Also, the novel idea and concepts developed by the researchers/academia and practicing engineers working in the domain of the EV charging infrastructures are incorporated. The active and reactive power control strategy along with other parameters estimation and control are also included to make this book popular among the readers.
