In this study, a novel multi-port bi-directional converter is proposed to be utilized as an off-board EV charging station. Four modes of operation, high gain, and three input/output ports are the main advantages of the proposed converter.. To reduce the burden of electric vehicle (EV) charging power requirements, photovoltaic (PV) infrastructure EV charging has grown in recent years. The Z-Source Inverter (ZSI) allows tapping the boosted DC and AC by adjusting the switching shoot-through. The converter supports Grid-to-Vehicle (G2V), PV-to-Vehicle. . charging stations in a classical power network can lead to numerous consequences for energy and power systems stability. Unmanaged charging of constant power load by DC fa t charging can significantly stress the power grids and leads to stability, reliability, and operational challenges [3].. Abstract—This paper explores the potential of Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology to enhance grid stability and support sustainable mobility in Dresden's Ostra district. By enabling electric vehicles to serve as mobile energy storage units, V2X offers grid stabilization and new business. . This study examines the large-scale adoption of EVs and its implications for the power grid, with a focus on State of Charge (SOC) estimation, charging times, station availability, and various charging methods. Through simulations of integrated EV–PV charging profiles, the paper presents a.
