Investigation of on-board renewable solar PV and wireless EV charging
station integration is studied in this paper. Integration of on-board solar PV
power with EV charger power will reduce the stress on the grid without the
need for extra ground for solar plant installation. A dual-input buck-boost
converter (DIBBC) is used to integrate the two power sources and charge
the EV battery. A small-signal model of the converter is used to design the
controller for three switches of the DIBBC. The simulation model of the inte-
grated solar PV system and wireless power transfer (WPT) system is designed
for charging a battery of 120V/165Ah at 130V. The hardware prototype of
the proposed EV battery charging system is designed for 1.5kW to verify the
simulation results. WPT system is developed for circular spiral-shaped coils,
which are series-series compensated for 85kHz resonance frequency. Solar
PV is replaced by a solar simulator programmed to operate with the same
specifications used in the simulation. Results and analysis of the DIBBC
based charger with charging voltage 130V showed higher efficiency up to 92% when both the sources are supplying power to DIBBC. The proposed
charging system gives better efficiency with higher source voltages and when
the difference in power supplied by the two sources is less. Thus, higher
voltage sources are beneficial for improving the efficiency of the integrated
charging system. Further, loss analysis in major components of the converter
is discussed.
