RENEWABLE ENERGY OFF-GRID SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING

Abstrak

The increasing use of electric vehicles (EV) in society requires a power system electric network that is sufficient for charging electric vehicles at home. The duration of charging at home can be a challenge because it increases the load on electric network at home. Utilizing renewable energy can be a solution to reduce the load on the electricity network at home. Therefore, this paper aims to design an off-grid solar panel and wind turbine charging system for an integrated home charging system. The renewable energy storage system is switched on and off when the demand for grid charging increases. A demand response model program was used to monitor the off-grid system model. Results show significant cost reduction and power savings based on the flexibility of home electric vehicle charging. The demand response control system is a useful control model to accurately manage the power demanded by electric vehicle charging to reduce the cost of electrical energy consumption and grid load at home by utilizing renewable energy.
