Abstract: This report presents the analysis, study, and simulation of an ultrafast charging station (UFCS) for electric vehicles (EVs) operating in steady state. The electrical architecture of the charging station uses an ac bus plus two dc buses and it is supported by a storage system based on batteries and super-capacitors. The power demand of the EVs is established taking into account the electric characteristics of their batteries and the availability of the station charging points. The analysis introduces a supervisory control based on a state machine description for different operating modes, which eventually facilitates fault detection in the electrical architecture. In addition, the study proposes different methods to handle the required energy for the charging demand and a procedure for the correct sizing of both the energy storage system and the input transformer. In laboratory experiments in a reduced-scale storage system, a SCADA supervision with CAN communication has proved successful in gathering data corresponding to modes of charge and discharge in batteries and super-capacitors, and subsequently displaying them on a computer screen.
