Abstract

The shift towards sustainable energy solutions, particularly renewable energy sources and electric vehicles (EVs), has led to a need for efficient and convenient charging infrastructure. Traditional plug-in charging stations have limitations in accessibility, convenience, and user experience. Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology offers a promising alternative by enabling contactless energy transfer, enhancing user convenience and potentially increasing charging efficiency. This study investigates the performance of renewable energy charging stations for EVs integrated with WPT systems. These stations aim to reduce dependency on fossil fuels, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to a more sustainable transportation ecosystem. The integration of WPT technology further enhances the potential of these stations by providing seamless and efficient charging solutions for EV users. The research aims to evaluate the efficiency, reliability, and practicality of renewable energy-powered WPT charging stations. The results of the test show that the inductive method is more effective and has an impressive power transfer efficiency of 91.1%.

Yenilenebilir Enerji ile Elektrikli Araçlar için Kablosuz Şarj İstasyonlarının Performansı

Abstract

Sürdürülebilir enerji çözümlerine, özellikle yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına ve elektrikli araçlara (EV'ler) yönelik kayma, verimli ve kullanışlı şarj altyapısına olan ihtiyacı artırmaktadır. Geleneksel fişli şarj istasyonları, erişilebilirlik, kullanım kolaylığı ve kullanıcı deneyimi açısından sınırlamalara sahiptir. Kablosuz enerji transferi (WPT) teknolojisi, temassız enerji aktarımını mümkün kılarak kullanıcı konforunu artırmakta ve potansiyel olarak şarj verimliliğini artırmaktadır. Bu çalışma, WPT sistemleriyle entegre edilmiş yenilenebilir enerji şarj istasyonlarının performansını araştırmaktadır. Bu istasyonlar, fosil yakıtlara bağımlılığı azaltmayı, sera gazı emisyonlarını düşürmeyi ve daha sürdürülebilir bir ulaşım ekosistemine katkıda bulunmayı hedeflemektedir. WPT teknolojisinin entegrasyonu, EV kullanıcıları için kesintisiz ve verimli şarj çözümleri sağlayarak bu istasyonların potansiyelini daha da artırmaktadır. Araştırma, yenilenebilir enerjiyle çalışan WPT şarj istasyonlarının verimliliğini, güvenilirliğini ve pratikliğini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Test sonuçları, indüktif yöntemin daha etkili olduğunu ve etkileyici bir enerji transfer verimliliği olan %91.1'e sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.
