In this project, current controlled technique is used in Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of the solar photovoltaic array to charge batteries of EV, within the safety limits and supported rating of batteries so that EV battery does not get damaged and can also increase the life of the battery. The battery is charged within the rated charging limit, under variable solar irradiance on MATLAB simulation. Charging batteries using solar photovoltaic has problems of its own as if a high output solar PV array is operating on MPPT conditions output of the solar PV is kept at the maximum power possible and when one EV battery is kept for charging it can damage the battery with very high charging current. The MPPT is used to operate the solar PV array so that maximum power can be extracted while it is in operation for these different algorithms such as NHS (Normal Harmonic Search) etc. is used. The proposed algorithm is highly robust and has good dynamic response. MATLAB/ SIMULINK based simulation study was conducted and subsequently, an experimental setup was developed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, and the results were compared with conventional PSO based MPPT algorithm, as well as the Perturb and Observe (P&O) MPPT method.
