This paper represents as Global warming has led to the massive adoption of electrical Vehicles(EVs) which appear to be the simplest replacement to IC engines. Due to increased number of EVs within the road, charging of the vehicles with conventional fuel based grid isn't economical and efficient. Thus, a renewable energy based charging station finds immense potential and control for electric vehicle charging. An electric vehicle charging station integrating solar power and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is designed for the current scenario. For uninterrupted power within the charging station a further grid support is additionally considered without becoming an additional burden to the grid. An efficient design of charging station with MPPT, PID and current control strategy is developed for the optimal power management between solar, BESS, grid with the EVs within the charging station. By taking dynamic charging needs of EVs, the planning of charging station is formulated and validated in MATLAB/Simulink.
