Abstract

The increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) is putting a strain on the power grid. One way to mitigate this strain is to use photovoltaic (PV) solar panels to generate electricity for EV charging. However, the intermittent nature of solar power can make it difficult to ensure a reliable supply of electricity for charging EVs. This paper presents the design and simulation of an on-grid PV-fed EV charging station with battery energy storage system (BESS) backup. The PV system is sized to meet the average daily demand for EV charging, while the BESS is used to store excess solar energy and provide power during periods of low solar irradiance. The simulation results show that the proposed system is able to provide a reliable supply of electricity for EV charging, even under varying solar irradiance conditions. The system also has the potential to reduce the peak demand for electricity from the grid, which can help to improve grid reliability
