dc.description.abstract | A solar charging station is meant so that vehicles are fully charged and are
environmentally safe. This technique transforms solar power into electricity and
stores it in a battery bank. If electric vehicles must be truly imperishable, it's
essential to charge them from sustainable sources of electricity, like solar or wind
energy. In this paper, the solar charging station gives the electricity to charge the
battery. The charging station has integrated battery storage that allows for off-grid
operation. The DC charging uses the DC power from the photovoltaic panels
directly for charging the battery of the vehicle without the utilization of an AC
charging adapter. Solar energy is converted to electrical energy by photo-voltaic
cells. PV systems are not linear therefore special methods are used to extract the
maximum available power. We aim to obtain maximum power at the load side from
the solar panel. So basic network theorem is applied called the maximum power
point theorem. Various MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) techniques are
utilized for the tracking of MPPT but here we have the P&O technique. The MPPT
algorithm is an important process to ensure the best utilization of PV panels.
Maximum power point tracking of solar module aiming to improve the conversion
efficiency of the solar module. Various tracking algorithms are available for this
purpose. Implementing these techniques required sensing the panel voltage, panel
current, battery voltage, and battery current. Sensing the voltage is easy and can be
made at a very less cost. For the current sensing standard, Hall-Effect current sensor
is generally used in the MPPT algorithm | en_US |
