HYBRID CHARGING STATION

The increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) has created the need for reliable and sustainable charging infrastructure. Traditional charging stations mainly depend on grid electricity which is mostly generated using fossil fuels. This leads to environmental pollution and high operational costs. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy provide an eco-friendly for EV charging. This paper presents the design and concept of a solution Solar and Wind Hybrid Charging Station for electric vehicles. The proposed system combines solar photovoltaic panels and wind turbines to generate electricity. Solar energy is available during daytime while wind energy can be generated both during day and night depending on wind conditions. The energy generated from both sources is stored in a battery bank and used for charging electric vehicles. The hybrid system increases reliability because if one energy source is not available the other source can continue generating power.
