Hybrid Renewable Power Infrastructure for Sustainable Electric Vehicle Development (eng)

This book provides extensive coverage of recent development in the areas of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructures and its grid integration, power converters, use of power electronics and its control. This book presents how hybrid renewable power infrastructure for sustainable EV development integrates renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, with hydrogen fuel cells, enabling efficient energy generation and storage to support electric vehicle (EV) development and enhance microgrid performance. It also discusses advanced power management techniques which ensure optimal energy distribution between the renewable sources, fuel cells, and EV charging stations, maximizing system efficiency and reliability while minimizing costs and environmental impact. The teachers, students, and practising engineers can take some insight for their work from this book.
