Investigation of the Effects of DC Fast Charging Units on Network Infrastructure (Power Quality) in Electric Vehicles
Developments in the transportation sector are rapidly increasing day by day. The biggest impact on this sector is the rapid development of electric vehicles and their adaptation to the market. This impact emerges as a result of the integration of electric vehicles into the grid infrastructure. The effects of electric vehicles on the grid infrastructure create problems in the demand for electric energy. In this study, analyses were made as a result of the simulation of charging units/stations, which are the connection points of electric vehicles to the grid infrastructure. A solution was produced and implemented to obtain better results by eliminating the disruptive effects that emerged. The effects before and after the applied solution were examined.

Modeling and Control of DC Fast Charging Station for Electric Vehicles in MATLAB-Simulink Environment
The need for electric vehicles is increasing due to environmental problems experienced in the world. While the transition to electric vehicles continues, the acceleration of this process plays an important role in reducing environmental problems. In order to accelerate this transition, charging units need to become widespread and charging time needs to be reduced. Higher power charging units are needed to reduce charging time. This is where DC (Direct Current) fast charging units come into play. In this study, the charging process of electric vehicles, the behavior of the DC fast charging unit on the battery and control systems are modeled in the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The designed model represents the electric power system that will charge electric vehicles and is suitable for more than one electric vehicle to be included in the DC fast charging system. The simulation is integrated according to DC level-2 charging conditions. The system model consists of 1 AC (AC Current)/DC converter, 1 DC bus, 2 DC/DC converters for charging electric vehicles and more than one EV battery. The system model includes design methods (AC/DC-DC/DC design and different control strategies) and descriptions of these components. The simulation result shows that the filter and control system integrations in the electric power system exhibit a more stable behavior by correcting the negative effects on the power system. Thus, it provides positive outputs about the integration of DC fast charging units, which will increase rapidly in the future, into the power system and how this process should be established.

Hybrid Energy System Modeling and Optimization for Gökçeada's Energy Needs Using HOMER
In this study, technical and economic analyses of hybrid electric energy systems that can be established to meet all the electricity needs of Gökçeada were made. PVSYST and HOMER programs were used for the analyses. This study was carried out to support subsequent and current studies. It was aimed to be an incentive by emphasizing the importance of moving away from fossil fuel sources by focusing on renewable energy sources.
