Abstract
This study is a part of the smart grid initiative providing electric vehicle charging infrastructure. It is a refueling structure, an energy generating photovoltaic system and charge point electric vehicle charging station. The system will utilize advanced design and technology allowing electricity to flow from the site's normal electric service to the charging stations or for the solar system to provide available electricity to fuel the cars reducing the cost of the driver's fuel bills. In case where the charging station do not need the electricity produced by the solar system, the excess electricity will be given back for use in the host facility or net metered back to the utility and credited to the meter owner's monthly electric bill. Therefore our proposed system is capable of providing frequency and regulation services, harnessing renewable source of energy, providing both AC and DC charging options to the electric vehicle owners, in addition to be able to function as a micro-grid.Keywords
