Abstract
Transportation sector is currently the largest carbon emitter and produces lots of harmful gases in the atmosphere, as a result Electric Vehicle (EV) is an attractive choice for mankind. Increased use of EVs needs the establishment of a large number of EV charging stations. This paper shows comprehensive assessment of solar powered charging station which is used for the charging of electric vehicles. This paper includes the design, cost optimization and management of an EV charging station along with pre-feasibility analysis for location assessment for EV charging stations. A case study for Ahmedabad is presented in this paper. Solar-Pro software is used for design, technical and financial assessment of solar powered based charging stations. Memetic and Cuckoo optimization techniques are used for cost optimization. Further Program, Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is used to assess the cradle to grave process of charging stations and at the end strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) and Political, Economic, Social, Legal, Environmental (PESTLE) analysis is presented, which shows strength and weakness of project from political, economical, social and ecological points of view. Results shows that Ahmedabad is suitable location for the solar powered charging station due to the mean value and maximum value of solar radiation is 5.7516 and 10.8869 kwh/m2/day respectively. The available energy of the given system is 30,506 kwh/m2/day at the solar fraction of 97.12%. The result of cuckoo algorithm for cost optimization is much better than memtic algorithm. Result also shows the reliability of whole system is 89%.
