1.1 INTRODUCTION
The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) has led to an increasing demand for
innovative and sustainable charging solutions. While traditional charging
methods require physical connections to the grid, wireless charging using
renewable energy sources is becoming an increasingly popular option.
The Solar Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging System (SWEVCS) is a
revolutionary solution that enables EV owners to charge their vehicles
wirelessly using solar energy. The SWEVCS utilizes several components to
provide a seamless and efficient charging experience. microcontroller is the
core of the system, providing control and coordination of the charging process.
The coils are used to wirelessly transfer the energy from the charging system to
the EV's battery. The LCD display provides clear indications of the charging
progress, including the battery charge level, charging speed, and time remaining
for a full charge. The rechargeable battery stores the solar energy, and the boost
converter ensures efficient transfer of the energy to the EV's battery.
The SWEVCS system operates by harnessing solar energy through solar
panels and converting it into electrical energy that is stored in a rechargeable
battery. The stored energy is then transferred wirelessly to the EV's battery,
providing an eco-friendly and sustainable solution. The wireless charging
system eliminates the need for physical connections and cables, providing a
convenient and hassle-free charging experience.
The SWEVCS offers several advantages over traditional EV charging
solutions. Firstly, the system reduces the reliance on the power grid, providing a
sustainable and independent charging option. Additionally, wireless charging
eliminates the need for physical connections, reducing the risk of damage or
wear and tear.

radiation into electricity. In the stage of conversion into thermodynamic from is
absent. The photo-voltaic effect is defined as the generation of an electromotive
force as a result of the absorption of ionizing radiation. Energy conversion
devices, which are used to convert sunlight to electricity by use of the photo-
voltaic effect, are called solar cells.
Like other energy system this system also has some disadvantages

out of the semi-conductor to do useful work. A junction of materials, which
have different electrical properties, provides the electric field in most solar cells.
11
To obtain a useful power output from photon interaction in a
semiconductor, three processes are required.
1) The photon has to be absorbed in the active part of the material and
result in electrons being excited to a higher energy potential.
2) The electron hole charge carriers created by the absorption must be
physically separated and moved to the edge of the cell.
12
3) The charge carriers must be removed from the cell and delivered to
useful load before they loose extra potential.

3.4 . COMMISSIONING
The panel is mounted over the top the pole with a help of a clamp at an
angular distance 11º south of equator, so it is able to collect the solar energy at
the maximum level then the frame with light is mounted at a height of 125º
from the pole. Then a metal box with the LDR control and a charge controller
and with the 24V battery is mounted over the pole, at a height of 2m from the
ground level.
The connections are made as per, first the panel is connected to charge
controller and then to the battery and to an inverter, then the connection is given
to the light with LDR control.

3.5 SOLAR PANEL COMMISSIONING:
During the day time the battery gets charged and when the intensity of
light decreases, the LDR makes the light to gets ON and the light glows by
using the stored charge in the battery.
If electrical contacts are made with the two semiconductor materials and
the contacts the connected through an external electrical conductor, the free
electrons will flow from the n-type material through the conductor to the p-type
material (figure 2). Here the free electrons will enter the holes and holes and
become bound electrons thus both free electrons and hole will be removed. The
flow of electrons through the external conductor constitutes an electric current,
which will continue as long as move free electrons and holes are being formed
by the solar radiation. This is the basis of photo-voltaic conversion that is the
conversion of solar energy into electrical energy. The combination of n-type
and p-type semiconductors thus constitutes a photo-voltaic cell or solar cell. All
such cells some rate direct current that can be converted into alternating current

5.HARDWARE REQUIREMENT
A block diagram containing the parts of a typical power supply and the
voltage at various points in the unit is shown in fig 19.1. The ac voltage, typically
120 V rms, is connected to a transformer, which steps that ac voltage down to the
level for the desired dc output. A diode rectifier then provides a full-wave rectified
voltage that is initially filtered by a simple capacitor filter to produce a dc voltage.
This resulting dc voltage usually has some ripple or ac voltage variation. A
regulator circuit can use this dc input to provide a dc voltage that not only has
much less ripple voltage but also remains the same dc value even if the input dc
voltage varies somewhat, or the load connected to the output dc voltage changes.
This voltage regulation is usually obtained using one of a number of popular
voltage regulator IC units.

The series 78 regulators provide fixed regulated voltages from 5 to 24 V.
Figure 19.26 shows how one such IC, a 7812, is connected to provide voltage
regulation with output from this unit of +12V dc. An unregulated input voltage
Vi is filtered by capacitor C1 and connected to the IC’s IN terminal. The IC’s
OUT terminal provides a regulated + 12V which is filtered by capacitor C2
(mostly for any high-frequency noise). The third IC terminal is connected to
ground (GND). While the input voltage may vary over some permissible
voltage range, and the output load may vary over some acceptable range, the
output voltage remains constant within specified voltage variation limits. These
limitations are spelled out in the manufacturer’s specification sheets. A table of
positive voltage regulated ICs is provided in table

5.4 LCD DISPLAY
The most commonly used Character based LCDs are based on Hitachi's
HD44780 controller or other which are compatible with HD44580. In this
project document, we will discuss about character based LCDs, their interfacing
with various microcontrollers, various interfaces (8-bit/4-bit), programming,
special stuff and tricks you can do with these simple looking LCDs which can
give a new look to your application.
Usually these days single controller LCD modules are used more in the
market. So in the project document we will discuss more about the single
controller LCD, the operation and everything else is same for the double
controller too.

5.6CURRENT SENSOR:

In practice a current transformer can be used as acurrent sensor. The
current sensor is to be connected inseries with the transmission lines. When
current in acircuit is too high to directly apply to measuringinstruments, a
current transformer produces a reducedcurrent accurately proportional to the
current in thecircuit, which can be conveniently connected tomeasuring and
recording instruments. A currenttransformer also isolates the measuring
instrumentsfrom what may be very high voltage in the monitoredcircuit.
These current sensors are offered with full scale values of 5A, 20A and 30A.
Pay attention to the polarity at the load end of the device. If you are
connected as illustrated below, the output will raise. If you connect it opposite
of this picture, the output will decrease from the 2.5 volt offset.
5.7VOLTAGE SENSOR:
25
In practice a voltage transformer can be used as avoltage sensor. The
voltage transformer must beconnected across the transmission lines. The
primaryof the transformer must be connected to thetransmission lines and the
secondary must be given tothe microcontroller. A step down voltage
transformeris used.
Sensors are basically a device which can sense or identify and react to
certain types of electrical or some optical signals. Implementation of voltage
sensor and current sensor techniques have become an excellent choice to the
conventional current and voltage measurement methods.

A solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electrical energy
using photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells are made of semiconductor materials
such as silicon, and when exposed to sunlight, they generate a flow of electrons
which can be harnessed as electrical power. A solar panel typically consists of
multiple PV cells arranged in a grid-like pattern and enclosed in a frame. The
most common type of solar panel is the flat-plate PV module, which is made up
of a layer of PV cells, a layer of glass or plastic, and a layer of protective
material on the back. When sunlight hits a solar panel, the photons in the
sunlight interact with the electrons in the PV cells, causing them to move and
create a flow of electrical current. This current is then sent to an inverter, which
converts the DC current into AC current that can be used to power homes or
businesses. The amount of electricity generated by a solar panel depends on
several factors, including the efficiency of the PV cells, the amount of sunlight
available, and the temperature. To maximize the amount of electricity
generated, solar panels are usually installed on rooftops or in areas that receive a
lot of direct sunlight. Solar panels are a renewable energy source and produce
no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, making them a clean and
sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuels. They have become increasingly
popular in recent years due to their falling costs, improved efficiency, and
government incentives and policies that support their adoption.

5.7 BATTERIES
The batteries are used in order to store the electricity that is produced
from wind and solar energy. The capacity of battery may vary depending on the
size of wind turbine or solar power plant. Battery should be having low
maintenance and charge leakage should also be low.
Lead-acid batteries are a type of rechargeable battery that has been used
for over a century and remains one of the most common types of batteries in use
today. They are known for their reliability, relatively low cost, and ability to
deliver high surge currents, making them suitable for a wide range of
applications, from automotive starting batteries to uninterruptible power
supplies (UPS) for data centers.
