This project presents a hardware-based hybrid electric vehicle (EV) charging system that integrates solar energy and AC grid supply with efficient energy utilization for street lighting. In the initial stage, solar photovoltaic (PV) panels generate DC power, which is regulated using a DC-DC boost converter with MPPT to charge the EV battery. When solar energy is insufficient, an AC charger converts grid power from AC to DC to ensure continuous charging. A microcontroller-based system with voltage and current sensors is used to monitor real-time power parameters, and the measured values are displayed on an LCD. The stored energy in the EV battery is utilized to operate the vehicle. Additionally, an energy management strategy is implemented to utilize excess battery power. When the battery charge exceeds a predefined threshold, the controller activates a relay to divert surplus energy for operating street lights. This approach minimizes energy wastage and enhances system efficiency. The proposed system demonstrates a sustainable and intelligent solution by combining renewable energy, backup grid supply, and smart load management. It is suitable for real-time applications in smart cities, promoting energy conservation and efficient utilization of available power resources.
KEYWORDS
The proposed solar and AC-based EV charging system with excess energy utilization demonstrates an efficient and sustainable solution for modern energy demands. By integrating solar energy as the primary source and AC grid supply as a backup, the system ensures reliable and uninterrupted EV charging. The inclusion of a DC-DC boost converter with MPPT enhances energy extraction, while the AC charger maintains charging during low solar availability. Real-time monitoring using voltage and current sensors, along with a microcontroller, enables accurate power measurement and intelligent control. A key contribution of this system is the effective utilization of surplus battery energy for operating street lights, reducing energy wastage and improving overall efficiency. The hardware-based implementation proves the practicality of the system for real-world applications. This approach supports smart energy management, reduces dependency on conventional power sources, and promotes the use of renewable energy, making it suitable for smart cities and sustainable transportation infrastructure.
