Design of PV Power for Electric Vehicle with Battery Storage Facilities

Abstract

As an emerging technology in the electricity and transportation sectors, electric vehicles are anticipated to gain popularity over the coming years and significantly lessen the nation's reliance on fossil fuels and CO2 emissions. As a result, it is possible to use a solar PV system to provide the electrical requirements of an EV charging station, thereby lowering the burden of vehicle energy consumption on the nation's electric grid. The ideal orientation for the PV panels to provide the most energy was determined using data from the photovoltaic geographic information system and expected load-profile patterns. The amount of electricity produced, the efficiency of the PV power system, and the ability to reduce CO2 emissions are all estimated in this study. This technique is used to power appliances, feed the grid, and charge electric vehicles. It also evaluates annual energy projections. Egypt has a relatively high solar insolation, which led to a 10,463 kWh annual PV energy output with a yield of 1,786.69 kWh/kWp. After conducting the financial analysis for 20 years, the cost of producing electricity is 0.0032 $/kWh, and the payback period for the suggested system is roughly five years. After the installation of the suggested PV system, the annual energy costs dropped by 21%. The performance ratio of this system inverter is 84%. This study can act as a suggestion for stakeholders that desire to use this energy source for charging vehicles.
