Integrated EV Charging System with Renewable Energy Sources and Grid Connectivity

Abstract

The configuration of a grid-connected EV charging station that is integrated with a renewable energy system is explained in this study. It reduces grid stress by serving as a contingency plan for supplying the power needed for An electric vehicle charging station and is a solar PV rooftop installation. Renewable energy sources are the best option for energy production because they generate power locally, which helps charging stations operate more economically. They work with grid-connected charging stations, which use the grid's power during off-peak hours to operate. During these times, The sun photovoltaic system charges the backup batteries that are connected to the station to provide power to charge EVs during peak hours. Additionally, EV batteries may be switched out for a backup battery bank that uses a solar PV system to charge all day. The renewable energy-powered EV charging station that is linked to the grid is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK, which aids in the simulation model's output.
