Researchers Propose PV-Assisted EV Charging System with Vehicle-to-Grid Integration

The authors find that an optimally integrated V2G system improves peak power demand management and reliability for emerging smart grids. Smart grid architectures that include V2G-enabled EVs are also being considered in IEEE 2030 standards for modernization of the grid.

Electric cars are charging at a charging station.

This article presents a charging scheme combining photovoltaic and grid energy sources, offering a clean and dependable charging plan to sustain green transport.

The proposed system involves the modelling and controlling of a 10 kW EV charging/discharging framework integrating PV and grid. This work has multi-fold objectives: i) the development of an intelligent hybrid maximum power point tracking (MPPT) strategy, ii) the design of a fuzzy logic controlled bidirectional charger, iii) the setup of a PV-grid integrated charging system, and iv) the implementation of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) operation.

The authors find that the designed bidirectional charging system maximizes solar energy collection, minimizes charging cost, and improves grid stability through demand balancing. The overall system is validated in a hardware-in-loop real-time environment through FPGA-based OPAL-RT.
