Also Available Domains Electrical Vehicles

Project Code :TEMAPS840

Objective

The main objective of this project is to simulate an electric vehicle (EV) charging station powered by photovoltaic (PV) energy in MATLAB, aiming to optimize energy usage, enhance charging efficiency, and ensure reliable integration with the storage systems.

Abstract

This paper proposes a MATLAB Simulation of a Standalone Electric Vehicle Charging Station Supplied by Photovoltaic Energy. A system has been proposed that consists of a PV array with a boost converter, an energy storage system buck controller to regulate the charging process in the electric vehicle, bidirectional controller to keep the stability of DC bus voltage. The results show that the charging process of the electric vehicle battery is exactly steady for all the PV variations. In addition, the charging/discharging of the energy storage battery responds perfectly to store and recover for PV energy variations.
