The Study integrates photovoltaic (PV) generation, battery energy storage, and electric-vehicle (EV) charging demand into a unified power-balance model intended to evaluate the technical feasibility of advanced PV-assisted charging stations. Three static operating cases and two dynamic cases with time-varying PV profiles were analyzed to capture surplus, balanced, and deficit operating conditions. The results show that PV generation alone cannot guarantee reliable charging in all conditions. At the same time, the inclusion of battery storage enables the station to maintain balanced operation across a wider range of scenarios. The dynamic cases further demonstrate that station operation is highly sensitive to renewable variability and that storage dispatch plays a central role in absorbing surpluses and compensating for deficits. The framework provides a clear, interpretable basis for the design, evaluation, and future deployment of PV-assisted EV charging stations and is particularly relevant to the Saudi Arabian context, where abundant solar resources, an expanding EV sector, and active Vision 2030 initiatives make this topic both timely and strategically significant.

We cordially invite all faculty members and students to attend this important event. The defense will take place on Monday, June 15, 2026, at 2 :30 PM. in Room B15-3-1-012 at the College of Engineering, University City of Fara’a. Your presence and participation will not only support Khalid but also foster an engaging academic discussion.

We look forward to seeing you there!
