A Comprehensive Analysis: Integrating Renewable Energy Sources With Wire/Wireless EV Charging Systems for Green Mobility

Abstract

Integrating renewable energy resources into the existing generation capacity can handle the additional load resulting from the EV charging system, even when the majority of the EVs are charged during off-peak hours. This paper comprehensively analyzes EV charging methods with a particular focus on both grid-based direct charging and the utilization of renewable energy sources. However, the most practical approach for EV charging is through large-scale grid-based renewable energy stations. This study outlines the significant challenges facing the application of EV chargers. Overcoming these challenges is vital for the widespread adoption of new technologies such as Wireless power transfer charging systems in the EV sector. Wireless charging technology still faces several issues, such as energy loss during transmission, alignment between the coils, and quick and safe power delivery. One of the significant challenges facing wireless chargers is the need to optimize efficiency while ensuring convenient and reliable charging as outlined in this study. Different wireless charger configurations are presented for stationary EV charging systems by incorporating photovoltaic systems into charging stations and supervisory bases. The application of series-series wireless charger system as an emerging technology for EV chargers is analyzed and simulated as a recommended solution for EV wireless chargers. The system overall efficiency is approximately 98%. The charging system can operate reliably by mitigating the effects of load and grid disturbances.
