Electric Vehicle Charging Station Based on Photovoltaic Energy with or without the Support of a Fuel Cell–Electrolyzer Unit

The transport sector generates more than 35% of total CO2 emissions. Electric vehicles are the future transportation systems, and demand for electric has grown considerably in last few years due to government support. Companies worldwide investing heavily car charging stations based on renewable energy. This research study presents a complete design (including an appropriate energy management strategy) photovoltaic energy-based vehicle station (EVCS) with or without support fuel cell electrolyzer system. parameters considered designing necessary capacity battery pack required load relative location-specific solar radiation (using RETScreen® Clean Energy Management Software, Version 9.0, Government Canada, Toronto, Canada), efficiency panel, used strategy, etc. EVCS power-following strategy is about 20 times smaller that resulting reference design. Additionally, cost almost half An analysis was carried out according three operating scenarios.
