Microgrid Design For EV Fast Charging Station Using Interleaved DC-DC Converter

Abstract

The development of a microgrid for an electric vehicle charging station that makes use of a variety of renewable energy sources is the major objective of this project (utility grid, solar PV plant, wind energy system). In this instance, the solar array is anticipated to produce 15 kWp, while the wind turbines are anticipated to produce 5 kWp. A distributed energy system’s efficiency and performance may be significantly improved by the use of a dc-dc converter and the perturb and observe method of maximum power point tracking (mppt). Both of these techniques are part of the maximum power point tracking (mppt) protocol. The configuration that has been proposed is helpful for constructing a locally characterized microgrid that is not only functional but also cost-effective. This is a novel component that has been included to this research since it would reduce the need for the electric grid during peak demand periods, which is a significant challenge faced by contemporary megacities.
