Innovative Solar Battery System Integration for Eco-Friendly Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

Global concerns about climate change require an immediate shift toward sustainable transportation systems, which has led to a surge in the use of electric vehicles (EVs). The surge in electric vehicle usage poses unprecedented challenges to the grid infrastructure, necessitating a radical shift toward renewable energy-based charging solutions. To address this pressing issue, this study presents a fresh proposal for an electric vehicle charging station that integrates solar energy and battery storage system technology (BESS). Despite low solar energy generation, the use of a grid support system guarantees uninterrupted power supply and ensures its continued operation. Optimal power management is achieved using advanced control strategies like MPPT and PID techniques. The utilization of stored solar energy, fast electric vehicle charging, and efficient energy storage in BESS are made possible by these measures for future use. We utilized the powerful computational framework provided by Matlab/Simulink to extensively simulate the feasibility and performance of our solar BESS charging station, which is specifically designed for electric vehicles (EVs). Our system's simulation outcomes demonstrate its remarkable ability to significantly decrease CO2 emissions, aligning with the global demand for environmentally friendly transportation solutions that maintain the sustainability of charging operations.
