  • Abstract:
  • The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates sustainable charging solutions to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. This project presents a MATLAB-based simulation of a hybrid renewable energy-powered EV charging system integrated with grid backup. The system utilizes photovoltaic (PV) solar energy as the primary power source while relying on the utility grid as a secondary supply to ensure uninterrupted charging. The simulation models PV array characteristics under varying irradiance and temperature conditions, an EV battery charging profile with constant-current-constant-voltage (CC-CV) control, and bidirectional power flow between the PV system, EV battery, and grid. A power management algorithm prioritizes solar energy usage, minimizes grid dependency, and supports vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capabilities when feasible. The results demonstrate the feasibility of solar-powered EV charging while maintaining grid stability. The MATLAB implementation provides a scalable and customizable framework for optimizing renewable energy integration in EV charging infrastructure.
