Charging electric vehicles from photovoltaic systems—statistical analyses of the small photovoltaic farm operation

Abstrakt

Zero-emission transport is a very important topic that is increasingly taken up by many institutions and research centers around the world. However, the zero-emissivity of the vehicle is quite a complex issue, which should be understood as not only the lack of emissions during the operation of the vehicle, but also the provision of clean energy to the vehicle. In this approach, charging the battery of an electric vehicle from renewable sources—a photovoltaic (PV) farm—and its operation can be considered as a totally zero-emission form of transport. The article presents a PV system containing two micro-installations with a capacity of up to 40 kWp each to supply electricity to two parts of the Lublin Science and Technology Park (LSTP) building. Thanks to the innovative monitoring system, it was possible to analyze the consumption and production as well as the effective use of electricity. Statistical analyses of consumption (charging the electric vehicle battery) and electricity production by the PV installation were carried out. It was found that charging an electric vehicle could be a good way to use the surplus energy production from the farm and thus a faster repayment on investment in the PV farm installation
