DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nDecarbonizing the transportation sector translates 
 into an increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVS). The increased penet
 ration of electric vehicles (EVs) requires charging infrastructure\, which
  places a burden on the aging power grid. EV charging\, specifically DC fa
 st charging and ultra-fast charging\, enables the user experience to be on
  par with that of its Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) counterparts by min
 imizing the charging time required to refuel the vehicles. However\, as EV
  penetration increases\, the simultaneous charging of EVs based on DC fast
  charging and ultra-fast charging can potentially overload the distributio
 n infrastructure. This increased energy demand necessitates rapid capacity
  upgrades. Integrating local Distributed Energy Resources (DERs)\, includi
 ng energy storage systems (ESSs)\, with a coordinated energy management sy
 stem (EMS) to meet the load locally while deferring the required capacity 
 upgrades. The thesis examines the possibility of a centralized EMS for cha
 rging station operation in a low-voltage distribution grid (a) without any
  back-up of renewable energy resources or ESS (b) with DERs with the abili
 ty to control and limit the power demand of the DC fast charging station a
 nd ultra-fast charging station\, leveraging on-site DERs. The thesis provi
 des a detailed overview of the challenges posed by EV charging infrastruct
 ure on the power system\, a summary of the existing state-of-the-art EMS s
 olutions\, as well as challenges of including DERs such as solar Photovolt
 aic (PV) generation and ESS to meet the demand due to EV fast charging sta
 tions mentioned earlier. Various EMS approaches have been investigated\, i
 ncluding rule-based EMS that integrate the DERs. Several EMS strategies ha
 ve been proposed to achieve multiple objectives\, including minimizing the
  energy and power imported from the grid and associated costs. A modeling 
 framework for integrating key components\, such as electric vehicles (EVs)
 \, multiple fast charging units\, and distributed energy resources (DERs)\
 , is also proposed. Case studies and scenario analyses were performed to c
 ompare the proposed EMS with the rule-based EMS benchmark\, demonstrating 
 the improved performance of the charging station in terms of limiting ener
 gy consumption during network congestion while delivering cost savings to 
 the charging station operator.\n
