Integrating solar and wind power in a DC microgrid for electric vehicle charging

The primary goal of this method is to replace conventional power generation based on fossil fuels with green energy sources, hence reducing greenhouse gases and environmental hazards connected with transportation. The goal is to optimize the performance of renewable energy sources such as wind turbines (WT), solar energy (PV) panels, and battery systems in order to guarantee a consistent and dependable supply of power to the electric vehicle (EV) charging station. The optimization process involves fine-tuning the operation of each component within the renewable energy system to maximize their efficiency and output. This includes maximizing the power generation of the WT and PV panels by implementing advanced control algorithms and strategies, such as maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Furthermore, the lithium-ion battery system is critical in storing additional energy during peak generating periods and delivering it to the charging station for electric vehicles during demand spikes, ensuring an uninterrupted supply of electricity. Moreover, ongoing research efforts in this field continue to explore and develop various renewable energy solutions aimed at further enhancing the performance and efficiency of EV charging stations. These efforts include advancements in renewable energy technologies, energy storage systems, and control strategies. By continually refining and improving these solutions, the goal is to optimize the overall performance of the DC microgrid-powered EV charging stations, ensuring reliable and sustainable power supply while minimizing environmental impact. This research presents an original energy management and control strategy that focuses on efficiently managing the power supply to EV charging stations within a DC microgrid. By leveraging renewable energy sources and employing advanced control algorithms, the aim is to optimize the performance and reliability of the system while reducing carbon emissions. Ongoing research in this field aims to further enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of EV charging stations through advancements in renewable energy technologies and energy management strategies.
