System design for PV-driven hybrid EV charging stations

Researchers in India have simulated a 4 kW solar power-based hybrid electric vehicle (EV) charging station using a three-stage charging strategy and found that the station is capable of charging 10-12 EVs with 48 V 30 Ah lithium-ion batteries. Charging EVs with the help of on-site solar arrays and battery energy storage systems (BESS) is an attractive proposition as it reduces reliance on fossil fuels, optimizes self-consumption, and minimizes grid overload. Therefore, the interest in solar-plus-BESS-powered charging stations has been on the rise. Now, a group of researchers led by the J. C. Bose ...
