        abstract = {The rapid growth of Electric Vehicles (EVs) has increased the demand for reliable and sustainable charging infrastructure, especially in regions with limited grid connectivity. Conventional grid-based charging adds pressure to existing power networks, highlighting the need for renewable, off- grid alternatives. This study proposes a Super-Twisting Sliding Mode Controller (ST-SMC)-based Photovoltaic (PV) Off-Grid Charging Station (OGCS) to deliver stable and efficient EV charging under variable solar conditions. The system integrates a PV array, boost converter, and bidirectional converters (BDCs) for managing the charging and discharging of the Energy Storage System (ESS) and the EV battery.
The ST-SMC provides robust and precise control of power conversion stages, minimizing chattering and enhancing voltage regulation compared to traditional controllers. The ESS ensures a continuous energy supply during low irradiance, improving overall system reliability. Simulation results in MATLAB/Simulink demonstrate enhanced voltage stability, faster dynamic response, and higher efficiency. The proposed ST-SMC-based PV OGCS offers an eco-friendly, stable, and efficient charging solution for remote and grid-independent applications.},
