4. Can you briefly describe your final year project or any practical work you have done?
"For my final year project, I worked on [Offboard EV battery charger using PV array], where
My project focused on developing an off-board electric vehicle battery charger using a
photovoltaic array.
The primary objective was to create a sustainable and efficient charging solution for electric
vehicles that utilizes solar energy. The system comprises several key components: a
photovoltaic array, an Converter, a charge controller, and, optionally, an energy storage system.

how it works: The PV array captures sunlight and converts it into direct current (DC)
electricity. This electricity is then sent to the inverter, which converts it to alternating current
(AC) if necessary for the EV's charging system. The charge controller manages the energy flow
to ensure the battery charges safely and efficiently. Additionally, the energy storage system can
store any excess solar energy for use during cloudy days or at night.

The project aimed to demonstrate the feasibility of using renewable energy for EV charging,
promoting sustainability and reducing reliance on conventional energy sources. I also
conducted a cost-benefit analysis, showing potential savings for users over time. Overall, this
