PV Enabled Net Zero EV Charging Station available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A paradigm shift in the transportation sector is being witnessed due to resurgence of electric vehicles (EVs). They are ideally considered to be non-polluting and eco-friendly, however it has its own demerits of overloading existing grid infrastructure and, could significantly contribute towards carbon emissions depending on the source used for charging them. The ideal solution to counteract the critical shortcomings is by developing a charging infrastructure integrated with renewable energy technology. The main aim of this thesis is to design such a charging station coupled with solar energy for urban cities. Simplified EV load models are developed by considering most popular commercial EV in the market. The designed solar powered charging station is tested with the developed EV load models and, would be located in selected urban cities within Ontario. Firstly, literature review on effects of EV charging directly from grid, benefits of EV charging with renewables, and amalgamation of EV charging with Net Zero (NZ) concepts is introduced. Later, three types of system architectures are studied for solar powered charging station. Selection of architecture for this work is done considering the economics of installation, and operation. Optimization in design of solar powered charging station is presented by varying the power ratio and, obtaining the annual energy yield for different types of orientation considering all EV load models. Then, NZ Photovoltaic (PV) enabled charging station is designed and, is tested with selected load models and, energy economic analysis is done for all designs. Finally, recommendations are made encompassing the selection of net-zero based charging stations along with economic considerations and its short and long term effects on environment.

Operation of Net-zero Carbon Charging Stations with Renewable Energy Integration available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The goal of this project is to develop a quantitative approach for designing and operating charging stations using intermittent renewable energy. In particular wind turbines (WT) and solar photovoltaic panels (PV) are integrated into charging stations in order to displace fossil fuel based energy and reduce carbon emissions. This study performs a feasibility analysis of implementing a cost-effective and environmentally-benign charge station for electric vehicles.

PV Charging and Storage for Electric Vehicles available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Electric vehicles are only ‘green’ as long as the source of electricity is ‘green’ as well. At the same time, renewable power production suffers from diurnal and seasonal variations, creating the need for energy storage technology. Moreover, overloading and voltage problems are expected in the distributed network due to the high penetration of distributed generation and increased power demand from the charging of electric vehicles. The energy and mobility transition hence calls for novel technological innovations in the field of sustainable electric mobility powered from renewable energy. This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in technology for PV charging and storage for electric vehicles.

Solar Powered Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Paris Agreement on Climate Change adopted on December 12, 2015 is a voluntary effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In order to reach the goals of this agreement, there is a need to generate electricity without greenhouse gas emissions and to electrify transportation. An infrastructure of SPCSs can help accomplish both of these transitions. Globally, expenditures associated with the generation, transmission, and use of electricity are more than one trillion dollars per year. Annual transportation expenditures are also more than one trillion dollars per year. Almost everyone will be impacted by these changes in transportation, solar power generation, and smart grid developments. The benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions will differ with location, but all will be impacted. This book is about the benefits associated with adding solar panels to parking lots to generate electricity, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and provide shade and shelter from rain and snow. The electricity can flow into the power grid or be used to charge electric vehicles (EVs). Solar powered charging stations (SPCSs) are already in many parking lots in many countries of the world. The prices of solar panels have decreased recently, and about 30% of the new U.S. electrical generating capacity in 2015 was from solar energy. More than one million EVs are in service in 2016, and there are significant benefits associated with a convenient charging infrastructure of SPCSs to support transportation with electric vehicles. Solar Powered Charging Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles: A Sustainable Development aims to share information on pathways from our present situation to a world with a more sustainable transportation system with EVs, SPCSs, a modernized smart power grid with energy storage, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and better urban air quality. Covering 200 million parking spaces with solar panels can generate about 1/4 of the electricity that was generated in 2014 in the United States. Millions of EVs with 20 to 50 kWh of battery storage can help with the transition to wind and solar power generation through owners responding to time-of-use prices. Written for all audiences, high school and college teachers and students, those in industry and government, and those involved in community issues will benefit by learning more about the topics addressed in the book. Those working with electrical power and transportation, who will be in the middle of the transition, will want to learn about all of the challenges and developments that are addressed here.

Download and read online ebook Smart Microgrids write by Hassan Farhangi. This book was released on 2016-10-14. Smart Microgrids available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The utility sector’s transition to renewable energy and the smart grid has already begun. The first step towards smart grid is microgrid, which is a smaller electricity grid with access to all the essential assets of a larger grid. This book provides a glimpse into an actual microgrid project. It supplies a system-level approach to the design of smart Microgrids, covering the entire design process—from roadmap to realization. Detailing lessons learned and pitfalls to avoid in Microgrid technology, the book provides an interdisciplinary approach to design and problem solving for smart microgrids.
