A Reliable Power Management Strategy of a PV-Based Electric Scooters Charging Station

International audienceThe charging infrastructure is one of the most important incentives for widespread electric vehicles adoption. This paper presents an example of an off-grid photovoltaic-based charging infrastructure for e-scooters with six chargers installed at Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakesh, Morocco. The principal configuration of the station has been introduced. Moreover, a power management strategy has been proposed. Specifically, an efficient distribution of the energy between PV array, battery storage and loads under different operating conditions, has been developed and simulated under MATLAB/Simulink
