Can wind power EV charging stations?

This paper investigates the feasibility of using wind as a direct energy source to power electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Matching the variability of wind energy generation with EV demand could potentially minimize the need for energy storage technologies.

Can wind energy be used for electric vehicle battery charging?

The objective of this paper is to develop a generic electric vehicle battery charging framework using wind energy as the direct energy source. A robust model for a small vertical axis wind turbine based on an artificial neural network algorithm is used for predicting its performance over a wide range of operating conditions.

Can a small vertical axis wind turbine charge an EV?

In this paper, the feasibility of charging an EV is proposed based on a robust experimental model for small vertical axis wind turbine VAWT based on the ANN algorithm (unlike previous studies that implemented simulated energy system analysis) (Chellaswamy et al., 2018; Kou et al. 2015).

Does energy storage support large-scale wind farms & charging stations for electric vehicles?

The integration of large-scale wind farms and large-scale charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) into electricity grids necessitates energy storage support for both technologies.

How does the charging station convert wind energy?

The charging station maximally converts wind energy into electric energy by using a novel fast and highly accurate MPPT technique. This technique has the highest MPPT efficiency and the shortest tracking convergence time compared to other methods, as demonstrated by experimental and simulation verifications.

What is the charging current of a wind turbine?

The charging current reached the desired value of 60 A in a settling time of 4.5 s and the state of charge (SOC) reached 22.75% in 100 s with an initial SOC of 20%. The model ensured a sufficient estimation of the generated power from the wind turbine at any wind speed and maintained a constant charging current stage at the charging process.
