Abstract
This paper presents a comprehensive study on the design and implementation of a Photovoltaic (PV) powered Electric vehicle (EV) charging station for residential parking lots in the UAE. The research focuses on three primary objectives: the design and modeling of the photovoltaic (PV) system, the development of an EV battery model and EV battery charging control system using MATLAB Simulink. This design includes the selection of appropriate PV panels, inverters, and other essential components. The EV charging control system is then designed to manage the charging process, optimizing the battery charging cycles and ensuring efficient energy usage. The control system is tested within the MATLAB Simulink environment to validate its effectiveness and reliability. The results indicate that the proposed PV powered EV charging station can efficiently meet the energy needs of residential EVs while minimizing reliance on the grid. The study demonstrates the feasibility and benefits of integrating renewable energy sources with EV charging infrastructure, contributing to sustainable energy solutions in the UAE.
