Abstract

The rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs) has generated an urgent requirement for sustainable and advanced charging systems. This study delineates the design and analysis of an intelligent solar EV charging system intended to reduce dependence on the grid and optimize the utilization of renewable energy. The system incorporates a solar photovoltaic (PV) array, battery energy storage, and an IoT-enabled smart controller to optimize power delivery. A Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique is employed to optimize the energy harvesting efficiency of the photovoltaic system under fluctuating irradiance conditions. The photovoltaic system uses a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology to improve energy harvesting efficiency in a variety of environmental circumstances. This method guarantees the best possible solar energy extraction even in the face of temperature and irradiance fluctuations. In order to effectively and economically control charging operations, the smart controller continuously checks system data, such as battery health, state of charge, and real-time solar availability. This clever control method increases battery life, reduces energy loss, and enhances system reliability. The smart controller ensures optimal performance and energy economy by controlling charging operations based on battery health and real-time sun availability. The efficacy of the suggested method in providing steady and continuous charging is confirmed by modeling and validation using MATLAB/Simulink software. The system is a feasible and sustainable alternative for future EV infrastructure, as evidenced by simulation results showing enhanced energy utilization and decreased grid demand.

Keywords: Solar EV charging system, battery energy storage, Renewable Energy, MPPT, IoT, PV array.
