<span lang="EN-US">This paper investigates the performance of conventional boost converter, <br /> 2-phase interleaved boost converter and 3-phase interleaved boost converter for renewable energy applications especially for solar-powered energy. The advantages of using coupled inductors in interleaved boost converters include increased system efficiency, reduced core size, and also reduced overall current and voltage ripples which increases the lifetime of renewable energy resources. In this paper, the uses of boost converters have been focused explicitly on the interleaved DC-DC charging from a solar-powered battery into electric vehicle (EV) battery storage. Hence, this paper aims to investigate a suitable charging process mechanism from a photovoltaic (PV) battery storage system into EV powered battery system. Using the application of a boost converter with reduced ripple current and ripple voltage decreases switching losses and increases conversion efficiency. The simulation is carried out by using Simulink/MATLAB to evaluate the performance of each boost converter. The results successfully demonstrate the ability of the proposed charging system with an energy efficiency of 90%.</span>

Renewable energy is the only known source that can suffice the global demand in a sustainable way while preserving human and environmental health. Fossil fuels offer an unparalleled ability to robustly transform simple ideas into lucrative businesses and operations despite its inherent devastation imposed to the ecosystem and energy security. Together, fossil fuels, renewable energy and battery storage technology, offer great promise for an improved quality of life inclusive of global access to environmentally pristine, uninterrupted energy. Hybrid systems can be designed to deliver clean, portable energy cost-effectively, efficiently and reliably while minimizing present-day economic and environmental impact. An improvement in battery storage technology is of paramount importance to design an optimal hybrid system necessary to meet peak demands and compensate for intermittency within renewable energy resources. Various battery types have been developed as the technology of choice for renewable energy applications but compatibility issues of different battery systems to renewable energy sources remain. This study provides a comparative analysis of battery storage systems and introduces a mathematical model for a photovoltaic-wind-diesel hybrid system integrating optimization and performance techniques along with an economic analysis that will be used for further study and future simulation.

This paper describes design of solar powered charging station for charging of electric vehicle that solves the key downside of fuel and pollution. While EV charging has traditionally been grid-based, use of solar powered chargers has emerged as an interesting opportunity. As worlds resources are diminishing, government agencies and non-government organization are pushing greener solution through the use of renewable energy sources. In order to reduce the pollution through the motor vehicles, there is a large scope of increase in electric vehicles all over the world. To run the electric vehicle the fuel required is the electricity which can be storable through the use of solar energy. Electric vehicles that run on the Electric vehicle smart charging station which is the promising alternative and environmentally sustainable solution to meet up the energy crisis. This paper investigates the possibility of charging the battery of electric vehicles at a various working place like offices, colleges, hospitals, universities etc in India using solar energy. In this paper, the charging station successfully developed as desired features for electric vehicle from renewable energy resources with solar panel, solar charge controller, batteries storage and DC-DC converter. A laboratory-scale experimental prototype was also developed, and the performance of the proposed charging station was investigated.
