“…For the scenario described in the section before an energy of 8,4 kWh is required per day. In an earlier work we have found out, that we can expect from a 1 kWp-PV-system at our location during the summer months as an average 4 kWh energy per day [6]. So theoretically a PV- system of 2 kWp could be sufficient for our scenario.…”

Electric vehicles (EVs) today in general are operated with energy from the electric grid. So energy for the EVs is basically available at almost each place on the world. If the energy for the grids however is produced to a big extent from fossil fuels the EVs are not much more eco-friendly than conventional cars. In this paper a field of application is investigated where EVs can be operated very eco-friendly by renewable energy. EVs which are used mainly for home-to-work and home-to-education transports can be charged at the placesof-work respectively at the places of education directly from PVsystems. In a field test with six electric scooters, which were used by students for their travels from their homes to our university, the characteristics of these EVs at a charging station at our university was analyzed. Based on these results the charging of the EVs during typical days was analyzed. The results are showing that the EVs can be charged to a big extent from a very limited PV-system.

“…It is also more flexible because in the absence of the EV (to be charged), the PV power can be injected to the grid. On the other hand, the PV-standalone is more beneficial in remote areas where utility supply is not available or too costly [52,53]. Its configuration is simpler because of the less power conversion stages needed.…”

SUMMARYThe application of renewable sources such as solar photovoltaic (PV) to charge electric vehicle (EV) is an interesting option that offers numerous technical and economic opportunities. By combining the emission-free EV with the low carbon PV power generation, the problems related to the greenhouse gases due to the internal combustion engines can be reduced. Over the years, numerous papers, including several review work, have been published on EV charging using the grid electricity. However, there seems to be an absence of a review paper on EV charging using the PV as one of the energy sources. With growing interest in this topic, this review summarizes and updates some of the important aspects of the PV-EV charging. For the benefit of a wider audience, it provides the background on the EV fundamentals, batteries and a brief overview on the PV systems. Two types of PV-EV charging, namely the PV-grid and the PV-standalone, are comprehensively covered. Moreover, a case study is carried out in comparison to the grid-only charging to critically analyse the technical and the economical feasibilities of both types using Matlab simulation. At the end, recommendations and future directions are presented. It is envisaged that the material gathered in this paper will be a valuable source of information for the researchers working on this topic.

“…Among the existing RE, the solar energy is the most abundant and much more than is needed. It is expected that the photovoltaic system conversion will achieve in the future a very significant importance in term of efficiency [1][2][3]. Regarding the conventional vehicle s problems, the electrification of transport is coming up and more vehicles will be integrated with electrical power systems for their charging taking advantage of cheaper rates from the grid during off-peak hours.…”

This paper deals on control strategy and analyzing power flow between home integrated photovoltaic system (PVS), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) and distribution network. The neutral point clamp (NPC) multilevel inverter is the main element that allows interfacing between the different energy sources and receptors. The combination of synchronous reference frames (SRF) and indirect control algorithms applied to NPC, has allowed the system working in On and Off-grid condition for providing a continuous and uninterruptible power supply, for minimizing losses and managing effectively the power flow. The integrated PVS is supposed to satisfy a power load demand in the normal condition of solar irradiation. A PHEV is charging from PVS or grid and could supply power in case of offgrid emergency situation. An onboard bidirectional charger is modeled and controlled by sliding mode algorithm in order to ensure a secure charging and discharging of PHEV batteries. The system is tested for power factor correction and voltage regulation along with harmonic elimination. The performance of the system is validated using MATLAB software with its Simulink and power system blockset toolboxes.
