EV Charging Adapter to Operate With Isolated Pillar Top Solar Panels in Remote Locations

Each electric vehicle (EV) has a finite amount of energy storage capacity. The EV batteries need to be recharged after a certain amount of driving, and cities make good locations for charging facilities. However, finding a charging infrastructure can be difficult in isolated areas. Large countries including Canada, China, the US, India, Australia, Russia, and a few Arab states are proposing to install pillar top solar panels in remote places for emergency EV charging. This condition requires a specific charging adaptor to monitor the charging current, securely conclude the charging process, and extract the maximum power from the panel utilising MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking). This EV study proposes a sensor-based low-cost charging adapter. MPPT operation and battery charge monitoring should be completed using SIAFL-DO. Only one current sensor-based charging adapters are inexpensive and fast. Furthermore, the SIAFL-DO algorithm accurately executes MPPT and charging management thanks to its excellent condition estimation and decision-making capabilities. This work uses a hardware prototype to assess the adapter's compatibility with the SIAFL-DO algorithm. Additionally, comparison investigations using cutting-edge methods are carried out. The created technique is put to the test against the European Standard EN50530 in order to determine its applicability to the sector.
