Design of a Zeta Boost Converter for Grid Tied PV Fed EV Charging with an Improved GWO Optimized Controller

The increasing need for power and the depletion of fossil fuels, the electric vehicle (EV) and renewable energy production have advanced significantly. In addition, when EVs are grouped together at a charging station, it consumes a tremendous quantity of power, which might have an adverse effect on the grid's ability to function. Consequently, it is thought that implementing renewable energy on the charging facility's end offers an intriguing a mutually beneficial outcome. Charge stations may significantly lower the amount of energy they need from the electrical grid and hence lower the amount of grid capacity that is needed by incorporating renewable energy. Therefore, this study proposes a Novel Integrated Improved GWO (IGWO) (shows less settling time of 0.15 secs) optimized Zeta-Boost Converter (ZBC) for Grid Tied PV Charging Station Uses. While photovoltaic panels offer many benefits, they also have several drawbacks, such as their reliance on certain environmental factors. A PI controller built around optimization techniques was implemented to address this. At first, solar power and the smart grid are used to charge lithium-ion batteries. Utilizing an inbuilt DC/DC ZBC with a high voltage gain of 1:12, surplus power is sent to the grid via a single-phase inverter. Simulink and MATLAB 2021a are used to simulate and evaluate the suggested approach.
