Design of Residential Plug-in Electric Vehicle Charging Station with Time of Use Tariff and IoT Technology

Electric vehicles (EVs) pull in around the globe because it has a benefit of energy saving and environmental protection. High Penetration of Electric Vehicles in the world makes an additional demand on the power system at peak time. To overcome this problem, Smart Charging Station is designed for residential. At peak time the power required to charge Electric Vehicles is effectively handled by Grid connected PV generation and also Electric Vehicles acted as an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) based on Time of Use (TOU) Tariff. All control functions are done by the Raspberry Pi controller. The whole process monitored and controlled by using Internet of Things (IoT). The proposed control system and their control functions are done in MATLAB/SIMULINK.
