Development of a Photovoltaic-Based Charging Infra-structure for Electric Vehicles: Design and Performance Analysis
摘要
More people using electric vehicles (EVs) is influencing the transportation industry while placing higher demands on ordinary energy networks. The use of photovoltaic (PV) technology for charging vehicles ensures a stable and local option for clean energy, allowing people to use environmentally friendly vehicles. In this research, a photovoltaic-driven charging system for EVs is shared with analysis of its performance. The system contains solar modules, a system to supply electricity, storage batteries and the ability to charge numerous EVs at the same time, whatever the weather. The method covers detailed descriptions of the PV modules, DC-DC converter, MPPT functions, BESS and power management strategy. The system’s actions are examined by using a simulation in real time, mainly focusing on the amount of energy produced, keeping the battery’s level full and measuring efficiency as irradiance and temperature change. The findings of simulations are tested by building a prototype and the total output is checked for solar-only, grid-only and hybrid situations. There was a clear increase in how autonomous the system was, how much energy it saved and how much carbon dioxide was offset with the solar-powered system. Besides lowering use of grid electricity powered by fossil fuels, it allows for adjustments to different needs, keeps the grid working independently in case of emergency and matches smart-grid systems. Also, charging time, the strength of the return journey and the quality of electricity are checked to judge the system’s solidity. This design follows worldwide moves toward cleaner mobility and using energy from many sources. Expectations are that outcomes will shape future sustainable development of transportation, blending renewable energy with new vehicle innovations in smart cities.
