The ongoing research in the field of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) and the growing global awareness for a pollution free environment, will lead to an increase in the number of PEVs in the near future. The proliferation of these PEVs will add stress to the already overloaded power grid creating new challenges for the distribution network. To mitigate this issue several researchers have proposed the idea of charging PEVs using renewables coupled with smart charging strategies. This chapter reviews the current literature on the state of the art infrastructure proposed for PEV charging facilities integrated with photovoltaic system. The proposed control algorithms, various smart charging techniques and different power electronic topologies for photovoltaic charging facilities (PCFs) are reviewed. Studies assessing the ability of photovoltaic charging stations to minimize the loading on distribution transformers are assessed. Finally, a simple and unique energy management algorithm for a PV based workplace charging facility based on dc link voltage sensing is presented. The power needed to charge the plug-in electric vehicles comes from grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) generation or the utility or both. The efficacy of the proposed algorithm is validated through simulation and experimental results.

“…There are two possible approaches to charge the EV using the PV, namely the PV-grid and the PV-standalone. The PV-grid charging has the advantage that during insufficient solar irradiance, the charging can be carried out using the grid [51]. It is also more flexible because in the absence of the EV (to be charged), the PV power can be injected to the grid.…”

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.

“…An inherent advantage of boost converters is that the output voltage is not inverted [6]. In addition, boost converters are also used in plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) charging stations [7]. However, boost converters are non-minimum phase systems and when such converters are used to supply CPLs, the control of such a system becomes a challenging problem.…”

Constant power loads may form a major proportion of the system loads in automotive power systems. Without proper control the presence of constant power loads in a multi-converter environment can cause system instability. In this paper, the concept of autonomous control of a dc microgrid is extended to automotive power systems. An autonomous control law is derived for an automotive power system which consists of system of parallel connected boost converters supplying a constant power load. The control law derived using the passivity based approach consists of two stages. The first, primary stage involves a non-linear droop of the microgrid voltage with respect to the current supplied by each of the converters thereby enabling current sharing. The primary controller also damps the oscillations in the dc microgrid caused by the presence of the constant power load. The secondary controller adjusts for the voltage deviations due to the primary controller without affecting the current sharing. The conditions to ensure the asymptotic stability of the equilibrium points are derived. Experimental results are presented to verify the proposed control law.
