Abstract
In this paper, we are proposing currentcontrolled hill-climbing strategy used in Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of the solar photovoltaic array to Charge OFF Board Electric vehicle lithium-ion batteries within the safety limits and supported rating of batteries so that EV battery does not get damaged and can also increase the life of the battery. Here, a current sensor and potential difference sensor-based electric vehicle off-board battery charging by hill-climbing strategy is tested on MATLAB simulation. The satisfactory steady-state battery is charging within the rated charging limit, under variable solar irradiance.
INTRODUCTION
The transportation sector has seen a major shift towards electric vehicles as it not only stops our dependence on fossil fuels and stop pollution from these vehicles that vehicles release. Hence, we are moving towards cleaner sources of energy. Also, photovoltaic resources are increasing in demand as they are the source of clean energy and don’t emit carbon dioxide
Two types of charging method are there ON Board charging and OFF Board charging. ON Board charging is when Battery is kept in the Electric vehicle and charging circuit is not on the vehicle itself but near the charging station. And the battery is charged directly through the DC supply.
