Optimization of EV Charging Systems Using Hybrid GWO-PSO MPPT for PV Source

Resumen

Electricity is produced from variety of fossil and renewable sources and it is crucial that EVs have to be powered from renewables. With Electric Vehicle penetration, the combination of PV with EV drastically reduce our dependence on fossil fuel based electricity plants. The day to day power demand needed and anyone with a solar power system is likely to install a solar power charging station in their home in upcoming years. Solar power is variable as irradiance is changing during the day so to accommodate the changing irradiance MPPT algorithm has to switch or reach the maximum power point quickly. A GWO-PSO based MPPT is proposed in this paper and compared with P&O, PSO and GWO MPPTs and the hybrid GWO-PSO MPPT is used to charge the Electric Vehicle.
