Abstract

Solar PV based charging of Electric vehicle (EV) charging circuit is presented in this research. To obtain the optimal performance of the solar photovoltaic system under Typical Test Circumstances, incremental conductance MPPT algorithm is employed. With a boost converter with a 400 V output, a 100 AH battery may be charged by a solar PV array. Then, the voltage is lowered to meet the needs of buck operation and a 220 V battery. Short-term storage capacity is shown to completely charge rapidly. The objective is accomplished by the appropriate application of the calculated parameters of the passive components (filter elements on the converters and inverters of the system). When power from solar photovoltaic panels is not available, electric cars are powered from the AC source. We use a PI (proportional plus integral) regulator with a 10 rad/s corner frequency. An H-bridge rectifier provides a DC–DC bidirectional converter with a 400 V dc output voltage. One thing to note is how fast the SOC of the battery is reached. The battery current and voltage are shown during charging and draining modes. During charging, it is evident that the current and voltage of grid are synchronized. It is believed that they are out of phase during discharge, signifying a opposite power movement. Power semiconducting components are controlled with switching frequency of 10 kHz PWM pulse. Electric vehicle on-board chargers are available for use in parking lots and residences. Less grid-based power needs and emission-free, quiet driving are hallmarks of solar PV connected electric vehicles (EVs).
