Abstract
AbstractThis paper focuses on a grid-incorporated solar electric vehicle (EV) charging station that maximizes the acceptance of EVs in agricultural areas and reduces the over-reliance on the grid of urban cities. Since photovoltaic (PV) systems are widely available and easy to install, they are an excellent choice for EV charging applications. Hence, the aim of this work is to combine PV and EV, in order to achieve the objectives of both decarbonized energy generation and transportation. A Modified Zeta Integrated Luo Converter (MZILC), which provides a large conversion range combined with lower voltage stress, is proposed intending to increase the voltage level of the PV system. Furthermore, the converter generates a stable output devoid of fluctuations with the usage of the Grey Wolf–Grasshopper Optimized Proportional Integral (GW-GOPI) controller. Electricity for BLDC motors is generated by PV power during the day and supplied by a single-phase grid at night. The efficiency of the suggested grid-connected PV-based EV charging station is examined in MATLAB environment.
