The integration of solar photovoltaic (PV) into the electric vehicle (EV) charging system has been on the rise due to several factors, namely continuous reduction in the price of PV modules, rapid growth in EV and concerns over the effects of greenhouse gases.
To overcome the above challenges, charging electric vehicles using distributed solar energy would be an excellent solution, resulting in net-zero emissions. Through vehicle-to-grid (V2G) and vehicle-to-home/building (V2H/V2B), the EV can be used as storage for PV and support the grid via ancillary services.
This paper explores the performance dynamics of a solar-integrated charging system. It outlines a simulation study on harnessing solar energy as the primary Direct Current (DC) EV charging source. The approach incorporates an Energy Storage System (ESS) to address solar intermittencies and mitigate photovoltaic (PV) mismatch losses.
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in technology for PV charging and storage for electric vehicles and includes, but is not limited to, the following topics: Power electronic converter for (DC) charging of EVs from solar (with bidirectional capability to feed energy back to the grid);
The average solar PV system can generate 1 to 4 kWp, which is sufficient to fully charge a 40 kWh battery electric vehicle in just over eight hours. Nevertheless, the quantity of solar energy available to charge an electric vehicle will vary based on the season and the weather conditions.
However, solar intermittencies and photovoltaic (PV) losses are a significant challenge in embracing this technology for DC chargers. On the other hand, the Energy Storage System (ESS) has also emerged as a charging option. When ESS is paired with solar energy, it guarantees clean, reliable, and efficient charging for EVs [7, 8].
