High Gain Luo Converter for PV based Electric Vehicle Charging Station

Due to various causes, including continual price reductions in PV modules, significant development in electric vehicles (EVs), and worries about greenhouse gas emissions, the incorporation of solar photovoltaic (PV) and the EV charging system is highly demanding. As these types of systems become more common in today's era, the improvement of updated technology, like highly efficacious batteries or solar panels, necessitates additional research. Henceforth the PV system is incorporated with Luo converter in this research which develops output voltage gain of the PV system. Maximum power point is monitored by a converter using a Proportional Integral (PI) controller and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), which also improves overall device performance. A three phase Voltage Source Inverter (VSI) is adopted for inverting an input DC voltage along with a three phase induction motor and resulting harmonics are minimized by LC filter. Simulation is performed by Matlab and Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) obtained is a minimal value of 2.56 %.
