Abstract

Electric vehicles are in vogue nowadays and it has been gaining some ground in India after Tesla entered into the Indian automobile market. Electric vehicles do not require conventional fuel sources such as fuel, oil, etc., so they do not pollute the environment. BLDC motors are used as the motor of electric vehicles, as they provide a higher speed as well as higher efficiency as compared to other motors. Since the vehicles are powered electrically, it is imperative for us to charge the vehicles just like cell phones. Just like fuel cars have fuel stations for filling up fuel for the operation of vehicles, there must also be battery charging or swapping stations for charging the battery of electric vehicles. This paper would determine how we must charge the electric vehicle using solar along with the traditional grid charging architecture. These two must work in tandem to provide the necessary electrical power to assuring the sufficiently charged battery at the swapping station for uninterrupted use of electric vehicles even in emergency cases. Here, the solar PV along with the traditional grid (Renewable and Conventional both respectively) is used to charge the battery at the swapping station, so it is named a hybrid battery swapping station (HBSS). Also, the concept of charging the battery packs in batches with scheduling is used which reduces the installation cost and the area requirement for the swapping stations compared to other existing battery swapping stations (BSS) or battery charging stations (BCS).
