Abstract
Electric cars (EVs) are becoming more and more common, hence there is a need to increase the number of charging stations. The rise in oil prices and environmental concerns have stoked interest in the creation of electric automobiles. Electric vehicles typically require batteries that are recharged by an external power source, however solar photovoltaic (PV) modules can charge batteries by receiving solar radiation and converting it to electrical power. Additionally, one of the renewable energy sources with the greatest growth is wind power, which harnesses the kinetic energy of moving air to generate electricity. The electricity for charging the battery packs of electric vehicles is produced in the current work using a charging system based on solar and wind energy. The solar photovoltaic modules and the wind generator make up the renewable charging station. An additional MPPT algorithm is utilised to compensate for the solar panel's maximum power. Perturb & Observe (P&O) approaches are utilised with various MPPT Algorithms. The solar PV panel's DC voltage is decreased using a DC-DC converter. An AC power output from the wind is converted to DC power using a three-phase rectifier. MATLABSimulink is used to simulate, design, and validate the proposed system's outcomes.
