“…Table 4 depicts the battery capacity comparison of the proposed system over the existing techniques: Reduced Grid Impact Charging (RGIC) and Extended Gradient Boosting Algorithm (EGBA). 31,8 When compared to the existing niques, the proposed SSS monitoring technique provides an exact level of the battery and also increases the battery charge lifetime. This is owing to the execution of the battery capacity monitoring process in the proposed SSS monitoring system.…”

In today's world, electric vehicles (EVs) play a significant role in transportation automation systems, and these vehicles are the replacement for fossil fuel usage vehicles. An EV generally depends on electric charges where the appropriate usage, charging, and energy management are the key constraints in EVs. To overcome these issues, proper energy management is essential in current EV management. In this paper, a novel blockchain-based secure energy management has been proposed to provide efficient energy management in transportation automation. Primarily, the EVs have connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) sensors for collecting information like charging level, distance to be traveled, and location of the EVs. This information has been processed by an information center and transferred to the random forest classifier to identify the price of charging. Afterward, it can be transferred to the power scheduling algorithm for finding the nearest charging location (shortest distance) and time of charging to a specific EV. Finally, this information is stored in blocks to mitigate the misleading of EVs and to offer secure price transactions between the users and charging stations. The results manifest that the proposed scheme provides improved EV management with 94.5% of accuracy and maintains 10% lesser communication overhead as compared with existing state-of-the-art techniques.

“…Exploiting solar power for charging EVs is an important notion and has gained ground in the last decade [4]. But, EVs have been in the market since the 1990s, and the studies focussed on the charging station infrastructure reveals the concern for grid accessibility while scheming and setting EVCS [5,6]. Recently, several studies attempt to utilise solar power for EVCS to enable energy sovereignty and decrease carbon discharges.…”

Photovoltaic‐powered electric transportation systems are gaining global momentum owing to their superior enactment and zero carbon emissions. With a growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the road, implementation of efficient and well‐organised charging stations is extremely indispensable. The authors investigate the feasibility of creating a charging station for plug‐in‐hybrid EVs at an educational institution, E.G.S. Pillay Engineering College, Nagapattinam, Tamil Nadu, India (10°48.2′N, 79°50.1′E). The statistics related to the solar radiations of the Nagapattinam region are employed to find out the energy availability for the EV charging station (EVCS) and the requirement for grid connection. The authors use a hybrid optimisation model for an electric renewable (HOMER) simulator to determine the optimum specification of the proposed EVCS. Also, the authors carry out a techno‐economic study against the specified load requirement to evaluate the potential of the charging station. The solar irradiance data obtained from NASA ground climatology and the solar power dataset of the designated site are used to realise the precise fallouts. The optimisation results provide minimum annual system cost and reliable power to the EVs. Based on these results, an EVCS is erected in the college campus to charge plug‐in hybrid electric vehicles. The established EVCS contains 3 kW EV charger operating as a microgrid and includes nine solar panels with 335 W each, 48 V, 150 Ah specification. The authors use solar photovoltaic (PV) panels using Copper Indium Selenide‐Zinc sulfide (CISZS) quantum dots for maximising energy yield from the EVCS. The authors consider that eight different charging profiles for different months are employed for estimating the solar irradiance probability density in the designated site. From this study, the authors can conclude that Gaussian mixer model (G4) profile is optimum for the Nagapattinam region to install a potential and reliable EVCS.

“…Utilizing solar energy for charging electric vehicles is an evolving idea and has taken ground over the past few years [12]. However, EVs have been in the market since the 1990s, and the literature related to charging station designs indicates the concern for grid availability while designing and siting charging stations [5,7,13,14]. Over the past ten years, researchers have tried to include solar energy for charging stations to ensure energy autonomy and reduced emissions.…”

Due to depleting fossil fuel reserves coupled with a climate crisis, sustainability is gaining ground, and electric vehicles (EVs) are emerging to be the new face of this field. However, the idea of EVs will be genuinely sustainable only if they are charged using renewable energy. This paper presents results from the design of a solar-powered EV charging station for an Indian context. PVsyst 7.2 software has been used for the system design. The analysis, based on the number of cars charged annually, the monthly variation in energy generation, the investment cost, and the decrease in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions using different module technologies for six Indian cities, has been deliberated. The results indicate that an off-grid 8.1 kWp system with two days of battery autonomy has the fewest unused energy losses, with a good performance ratio (PR). It can completely charge around 414 vehicles of 30 kWh battery capacity annually. This would help to reduce annual CO2 emissions by approximately 7950 kg. For cities near the equator, maximum energy is produced during March or January, and for cities near the Tropic of Cancer, energy production maximizes during May–June. The overall system has better energy generation and economy when monocrystalline modules are used.
