Chapter Abstract:
This paper presents a practical work, which builds a stand-alone electric vehicles (EVs) charging station utilizing solar panels to produce the DC power. This form of power is later converted to AC power that will be used to charge the EVs. The operation of the stand-alone charging station is run in such way that it is supplied by photovoltaic (PV) power produced by the solar panels installed. The DC power obtained by the PV cells is then taken to a DC/DC converter for regulation and boosting purposes, this high voltage will then be taken to a controlled DC/DC bidirectional converter to step up the voltage to a level suitable for charging the electric vehicle. The stand-alone EV charging station is firstly modeled and built through a hardware-in-the-loop with Compact RIO and LabView. Then, the experimental prototype is implemented to verify the operation of this charging station.
