Mobility has been changing precipitously in recent years. With the increasing number of electric vehicles (EV), travel-sharing continues to grow, and ultimately, autonomous vehicles (AV) move into municipal fleets. These changes require a new, distributed, digitalised energy system, maintenance, and growing electrification in transportation. This paper proposes the designing of an Electric Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS) by using hybrid energy sources such as solar PV, wind, and diesel generator. The proposed system is mathematically modelled and designed using the Hybrid Optimization Model for Multiple Energy Resources (HOMER). The system is analysed and assessed in both autonomous mode and grid-connected mode of operation. The optimum sizing, energy yields of the system in each case is elaborated, and the best configuration is found for design. The variations in Levelized Cost Of the Energy (LCOE), Net Present Cost (NPC), initial cost, and operating cost of the various configuration are presented. From the results, it is observed that the grid-connected EVCS is more economical than the autonomous EVCS. Further, a sensitivity analysis of the EVCS is also performed.

The popularity of the eBus has been increasing rapidly in recent years due to its low greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions and its low dependence on fossil fuels. This incremental use of the eBus increases the burden to the power grid for its charging. Charging eBus requires a high amount of power for a feasible amount of time. Therefore, developing a fast-charging station (FCS) integrated with Micro Energy Grid (MEG) and hybrid energy storage is crucial for charging eBuses. This paper presents a design of FCS for eBus that integrates MEG with hybrid energy storage with the energy management system. To reduce the dependency on the main utility grid, a hybrid micro energy grid based on a renewable source (i.e., PV) have been included. In addition, hybrid energy storage of batteries and flywheels has also been developed to mitigate the power demand of the fast-charging station during peak time. Furthermore, a multiple-input DC-DC converter has been developed for managing the DC power transfer between the common DC bus and the multiple energy sources. Finally, an energy management system and the controller has been designed to achieve an extensive performance from the fast charging station. MATLAB Simulink has been used for the simulation work of the overall design. Different test case scenarios are tested for evaluating the performance parameters of the proposed FCS and also for evaluating its performance.

In this paper, the design and application of smart wheelchair and charging station for disabled citizen is realized. The first stage of the paper is to make the wheelchair used by our disabled citizens able to access smart home technology via the vehicle via touch screen. The ability of citizens with disabilities to call with direct access via touch screen is also in the wheelchair designed. Thanks to the touch screen placed on the vehicle, disabled citizens are provided with the control of smart automation to control many objects such as curtains and doors in the home. In the second part of the paper, a solar powered charging station is designed and installed in order to charge battery powered wheelchairs. In the charging station made a special card reader system and has the charger to charge the card with disabilities to actively and means are provided.
