Toward a practical solution for residential RES based EV charging system

The world population depends highly on fossil fuels (for power generation, transportation, etc), this leads to oil price increases because of the depletion of fossil fuels. This paper is dealing with the use of RES in transportation. Pollution from the today transportation means, based on ICE (burning gas) especially in urban conglomerates and is off great concern. The renewable energy sources (RES) based microgrids (MGs) with energy storage facilities, can contribute to charge the future electric vehicles (EVs) based transportation system. Renewable energy charging stations can play a key role in the successful development and deployment of EVs contributing to pollution reduction, too. The proposed charging station is powered by renewable energy sources such as wind and photovoltaic used in hybrid configuration with energy storage system. The target of it is the residential application in future Smart cities. The storage system can contribute to V2G peak shaving and power quality functions. This study focused on a practical solution for residential RES based EV charging station.
