Solar Energy based EV Charging Station With Added Battery Storage System

Abstract

The concern of environmental pollution pushes to go for the electrification of vehicles. Certainly, the conversion of fossil fuels to electric energy and fed it to electric vehicles (EV) will not help to reduce air pollution, rather it's just the conversion of energy from one form to another. So, it's better to fed energies (in form of electricity) to EV which are environment-friendly, sustainable, and renewable.The main idea behind this project is to use Solar Photo-Voltaic (PV) panel to convert solar energy into electric energy and fed it to a DC microgrid-based EV charging station. Integration of an additional battery is proposed as a buffer to store or deliver the generated energy. It is also suggested that the charging station will be grid-connected so that energy can be imported for or exported according to the demand because all day will not be sunny.
