Abstract

This talk will present development strategies for hybrid energy systems and transportation charging stations and their integration within energy and transportation infrastructures. The design and control strategies of hybrid energy systems and integrations with fast charging stations will be presented with hybrid energy storage. Modeling and simulation approaches will be discussed and utilized in case studies. Hardware-in-the-loop and real-time simulations are used to evaluate the proposed design and implementation scenarios. Integrated nuclear-renewable hybrid energy systems using Small Modular Reactors (SMR) or Micro Modular Reactors (MMR) within micro energy grids are used to achieve resilient energy supply within charging stations. Integration between hydrogen and fuel cell systems is demonstrated to achieve hybrid charging stations and support the transition to clean transportation. Transactive mobility will be discussed to support the deployment of charging stations within energy and transportation infrastructures, as integrated with community applications in city, urban, and remote communities. Performance measures are modelled and evaluated for different design and operation strategies. Resiliency and performance measures will be discussed in view of a number of operation and control strategies to meet user requirements.
