Assessment of Performance and Characteristics of a Hybrid Charging Scheme for Electric Vehicle Battery

The primary objective of this paper is to employ a Hybrid Charging approach to optimize and enhance the efficiency of electric vehicle (EV) battery charging. This innovative technology integrates various charging methods solar-based charging, wind-based charging, and plug-in charging systems -'within a single car unit. To evaluate the performance and characteristics of this battery charging scheme, the MATLAB/SIMULINK has been opted. With the simulation results, the authors have reported different performance characteristics, including Percentage (%) State of Charge (SOC) of battery vs time, rectified voltage vs wind speed, line voltage vs wind speed, and battery discharging voltage vs time for different schemes. The plug-in charging method outperforms than others two charging scheme, adapting smartly EV battery status. This hybrid approach accelerates EV adoption, fostering eco-friendly transportation.
