5. MODELLING AND ANALYSIS OF ENERGY MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AT CHARGING STATION INTEGRATED WITH PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM AND BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEM

The need for efficient and sustainable charging infrastructure has increased due to the growing popularity of electric cars (EVs ). An inventive way to lessen grid reliance and carbon emissions is to include energy storage devices (ESS), such as batteries, with renewable energy sources, including solar (PV) systems, into EV charging stations. This project focuses on the modeling and analysis of various energy management strategies for a PV-integrated EV charging station with battery storage. The study includes simulation of energy flow, load management, and battery charging-discharging cycles using MATLAB/Simulink. The effectiveness of the proposed energy management algorithms is assessed based on parameters like grid power consumption, renewable energy utilization, cost optimization, and system reliability. The outcome will contribute to the development of intelligent and eco-friendl y EV charging infrastructure.
