Abstract


Due to the possible shortage of oil and gas, increasing the number of cars, global warming, air pollution, and outages, there is a special need for renewable energy sources and electric vehicles (EVs). The new battery-electric vehicles BEVs can be charged by the power grid. However, the existing fossil fuel power plant cannot provide enough power for this purpose, and the only choice is renewable energy sources (RECs). Comparing RECs, solar energy is abundant and accessible in any part of the world. Needless to state that a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system is required in order to extract maximum power from solar modules. In this paper, a charging strategy is proposed via using a solar system, a boost converter, and a fuzzy tracking algorithm. The main research contribution of the presented paper is to charge an EV without putting stress on the power grid. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated by the MATLAB Simulink and LTSPICE results.
