Executive Summary : | The Indian government is implementing the FAME scheme, which aims to incentivize electric vehicle buyers and charging stations. This initiative has led to a 1.32% market share of electric vehicles in the 2021-22 financial year, with 7,59,182 registered EVs by september 2022. However, the rise in electric vehicles may increase grid power demand. To achieve zero emission operation, renewable energy-based charging is suggested. A smart home powered by renewable energy can be used to charge electric vehicles and export power to the grid when local loads are unavailable. The proposal focuses on EV charging development in smart homes using renewable power generation. It addresses three challenges in the smart home with EVs: developing an EV charging facility using a multi-port converter from renewable power generation, developing a siC-MOsFET-based fault-tolerant reduced switch multilevel inverter to ensure continuous power supply between the grid, home, and EV, and developing a coordinated control scheme to maintain continuous power flow in the smart home. The proposed system may shut down when a fault is identified, highlighting the need for sustainable energy solutions in the smart home industry. |
