Developing a Photovoltaic (PV) Based Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station with Fuzzy Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) in MATLAB involves creating a comprehensive simulation model. This model integrates PV panels, EV charging infrastructure, and a fuzzy logic-based MPPT algorithm.
The simulation enables analysis of various parameters such as solar irradiance, PV panel characteristics, EV charging demand, and fuzzy MPPT control performance. By simulating the charging station in MATLAB, engineers can evaluate the effectiveness of the fuzzy MPPT algorithm in maximizing PV power extraction under varying weather conditions and shading effects.
Furthermore, they can optimize the charging station's operation to meet EV charging demand efficiently while minimizing grid dependency and reducing environmental impact. This approach facilitates the design and implementation of sustainable EV charging infrastructure that utilizes renewable energy sources effectively, contributing to energy conservation and carbon emissions reduction.
