Modelling and Simulation of Charging Based on Solar/Grid Powered Electric Vehicle

Electric vehicles (EV) have many advantages including decreasing carbon emissions. The major issue in Electric vehicle is excessive loading of main grid & availability of enough charging stations. This paper is mainly focused about charging of EV system. The working of solar tied electric vehicle is to utilize energy that is accumulated in battery to power up the motor and move the vehicle in any desired direction. Electric vehicle charging calculation of one unit with the help of required solar panel and capacity of solar panel is estimated. Another important constraint for EV is type of converter, Battery and controller required to control the charging of battery. This paper comprises of three parts, firstly modeling of required parameters for electric vehicle and then secondly simulate the model and then finally results from evaluation and simulation are explained. PI controller is used to manage the charging based on solar/Grid, in the present work. The necessity of suggested PI control method is tested by experimental results.
