Solar PV Array Powered ON Board Electric Vehicle Charging with Charging Current Protection Scheme

In this paper, a three-sensors based Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) scheme with charging current protection facility has been proposed for Solar PV powered ON board Electric Vehicles (EV) applications. Therefore, this scheme is capable of charging the different types of EVs with current within the rated limit of the EV. Solar PV array can be directly attached for charging the EV without any external required circuitry. Therefore, any Solar panel array can be attached to charge the EV safely. The Above strategy is Simulated and tested in MAT LAB Simulink under variable irradiance of solar energy, which optimal SOC, charging current, and voltage shows satisfactory performance.
