Solar-Based Wireless Charging System for Electric Vehicles: A Sustainable Approach

Abstract

The need for effective and environmentally friendly charging infrastructure has grown as the number of electric cars (EVs) on the road continues to increase. In order to enable contactless EV charging, this work presents a solar-powered wireless charging system that smoothly combines photovoltaic (PV) and wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies. Through the reduction of dependency on traditional grid electricity, the suggested solution offers a sustainable way to reduce fuel consumption, reduce emissions, and get around current infrastructure limitations.The solar PV array, energy storage device, inverter circuit, inductive coupling coils for wireless energy transmission, rectifier stage, microprocessor, and LCD module for real-time data visualisation make up the system design. High power transfer efficiency and a significant reduction in charging time are confirmed by experimental validation, establishing this technology as a workable alternative to traditional plug-in charging options. The findings demonstrate how this strategy might increase EV adoption by reducing gearbox losses, fostering the integration of renewable energy sources, and providing increased convenience. In order to maximise power distribution and system efficiency, future developments will concentrate on integrating smart grid technologies and putting dynamic charging capabilities into practice.
