Simulation of Solar-Based Fast Charging Station for Electric Vehicle

Goyal, Vishnu / Kanwar, Neeraj / Grover, Shubhangi

Electric vehicles (EVs) are mostly used to charge from the grid but unplanned charging of EVs can be a severe problem for the grid. In today’s scenario the charging of electric vehicle from the grid is not an absolute solution for the environment. Hence, green energy is required to extract from the renewable energy sources for charging EVs. Out of many renewable sources the solar energy is found most prominent hence solar-based EVs charging stations become essential to develop for better environment. A boost converter is utilized to increase the generated voltage level up to the dc bus voltage. Moreover, boost converter is controlled through the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique to optimize the power generation from the solar irradiation. However, the solar-based fast charging station is required to maintain constant voltage at the dc bus with the help of Energy Storage System (ESS). A bidirectional dc-dc converter is utilized for maintaining the dc bus voltage through the ESS. Presently, the vehicle manufacturers are developing electric vehicle with different variants in which vehicles have different levels of charging voltage and current. Therefore, decentralized control of individual charger is mandatory to control the power flow from the dc bus to electric vehicle in charging station. Hence, a buck converter is utilized to control the charging of vehicle battery with Constant Voltage Constant Current (CVCC) technique. In this paper solar-based fast charging system and its optimized control technique is presented using Matlab/Simulink/ R2019 b.
