Summary:Several efforts need to be performed in transportation and energy production to mitigate the current environmental issues that are related to fossil fuel use. The implementation of DC microgrids and the use of electric vehicles seem to be an adequate solution. However, various technical challenges have to be addressed, like grid stability issues. Thus, this case report assesses the impact of an electric vehicle load in a DC microgrid, subject to nonlinear control theory. The EV battery pack is modeled and simulated. Subsequently, it is included as a load in an available model of nonlinear control of DC microgrids. The results demonstrate high stability with this new load and the feasibility of its implementation.
