Conceptual Framework of a Solar PV Based High Voltage Battery Charging Strategyfor PHEVs and Evs

Abstract

With the emergence of plugin hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and electric vehicles (EVs) in the automotive market, the rate of the demand for electric power supply may be higher than the projected level. Distributed power generation is a feasible solution to balance the demand and supply of the power industry. In this work, a conceptual model of a solar photovoltaic (PV) based distributed generation system is proposed for charging the PHEVs and EVs. Outline of the overall system is developed with details of the background and feasibility analysis through hardware in the loop experiment of the proposed strategy.
