8. SMART EV CHARGING STATION CONTROLLER DESIGN AND ANALYSIS USING MATLAB

With the push to move to electric mobility at a national scale, and with the government being very enthusiastic about deployment of electric vehicles, the electronic industry can expect to see a lot of activity about production and development carried out by native people. Major automakers are working on electric vehicles, but an ecosystem for software and cloud services, chargers, and charging stations is also being developed st eadily.Results are beginning to emerge from the work that established businesses and several start- ups have been doing in these sectors. On the other hand, there are still plenty of opportunities to improve the ele ctronics component. Technical specifications for charging stations have already been released by the government with assistance from BIS, ARAI, EESL, and other organisations. The AC-001 and DC- 001 specifications, for example, already been developed and charging stations have been deployed at select locations. The newer guidelines require the charging stations to be equipped with multi standard chargers, viz. AC Type 2, the CCS and the CHADEMO, in addition to the lower power AC and DC -001. However, these systems are reliant entirely on the grid, are subject to real estate availability at prime urban and semi -urban locations, and the question of the grid being ready and equipped for these added loads, still remains. This is where, solar energy and storage comes into picture to not only supplement the grid but to also work standalone at feasible locations across the country. I. INTRODUCT ION One essential component for the maintenance of life's contents is electricity. Its appropriate usage necessitates its c areful application.However, there are many places in our nation where there is an abundance of power, while many other lo
