Abstract - Renewable energy and electric cars have
recently received more attention in the smart grid. Charging
stations in India must be able to keep up with the rapid
increase of electric cars. A hybrid solar-wind charging station
is created to generate electricity for electric vehicles based on
wind and sun conditions. Less number of Charging Station
make it difficult for electric vehicle users to charge their
electric vehicles remotely. Tracking them through the a
mobile application, being able to travel there with direction,
knowing the availability of slots and being able to know the
power available at a particular charging station would be a
great help.
Key Words: solar-wind energy, charging station, application
1. INTRODUCTION
Because fossil fuels are running short, people are
scrambling to find new sources of energy and ways to provide
them. Using electric cars might be the answer to reducing
fossil fuel use while simultaneously reducing CO2 emissions,
which is a distinct issue. Electric automobiles are really handy,
yet they do not appear to be widely used. Because of two
factors: cost and pricing. Electric vehicles (EVs) are
prohibitively costly for the general public, and locating a
charging station is nearly impossible. The value of the car
cannot be lowered, but establishing an EV charging point
reception will make charging the vehicle easier.
For many individuals, the cost is one of the most
fundamental obstacles prohibiting them from using electric
vehicles. The value of an electric automobile is primarily
determined by its battery. Large "fuel tanks" are expensive,
but the larger the battery, the longer the EV can go on a single
charge. They don't require any employees or cashiers, and
they take up very little space. As a result, electric cars have a
brighter future than gasoline-powered automobiles.
Solar and wind power generation, as well as
enhanced infrastructure for electric vehicles, are now the most
realistic methods for achieving this shift. These are both
critical measures towards lowering carbon emissions. Solar
power may be used with charging stations to create energy,
reducing fossil fuel consumption.
2. PROPOSED METHODOLOGY
Electric cars (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular,
resulting in a tremendous increase in demand for electric
energy around the world. The global market for electric
vehicles has exploded. In 2010, there were only a few number
of electric vehicles; by 2017, that number had risen to around
three million, and by early 2019, it had risen to almost six
million. Electric vehicles are fascinating alternatives to
traditional automobiles (CVs). The EV has the potential to
drastically reduce total climate effect and pollution emissions
by emitting zero carbon during operation. The demand for
biofuels would decrease if fossil fuels were phased out to a
greater extent. EVs are also an important part of modern
transportation because they combine a number of
technologies.
The Solar panels and wind turbine are connected to a
Charge controller which in turn is connected to the battery.
The battery stores the energy produced by wind and solar.
There are two batteries connected in parallel to act like one.
The positive end of the batter is connected to one of the
resistors connected in parallel and the negative end is
connected to the other resistor. We are dividing the power of
the battery using resistor and a wire is connected from
between the resistors to the analog pin of the Node MCU
ESP8266. The ESP8266 is connected to the 16X2 display to
display the battery percentage of energy stored. The DC to DC
converted is used to connect to the EV and charge it.
