Technical and economic study for installing a wind/solar powered electric vehicle charging station
The energy production and transportation sectors are the principal causes of greenhouse gas emissions. Several countries are applying strategies to reduce these gases. Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar radiation are getting popularity due to its environmental, economic, and social benefits. These resources are used to supply energy for systems such as electric vehicle charging station (EVCS). In this research, the technical and economic feasibility for installing a wind/solar-powered EVCS was evaluated in Laredo, Texas. The main goal was analyzed a city with constant traffic flow due to the border crossing between Mexico and Texas. Three sizes of EVCS (2-vehicles, 4-vehicles, 8-vehicles) were evaluated. Four approaches with different alternatives were analyzed to choose a suitable equipment combination with the best payback period in a project lifetime of 20 years. The 8-vehicles station got the best payback years in almost all alternatives. It was concluded that the equipment selected, in terms of energy output and costs, is more suitable for an 8-vehicles EVCS. Finally, a multicriteria decision making method was develop for site selection. The result was a map showing the best locations into the city to place the EVCS considering the factors of wind and solar energy, traffic flow, and population.
