Abstract [en]

The purpose of this work is to uncover the potential of the existing building infrastructuresof a storage-unit company with a negligible energy demand to utilize its roof area for aphotovoltaic system. Moreover, to use the electricity from PV to power DCFCS installmentsgiven the buildings’ pivotal locations along a highway. This was done by developing a modelin MATLAB capable of simulating the electric vehicle (EV) load distribution for two EVcharging stations (CSs) on the AP-7 highway in Spain. For powering these CSs, a gridconnected photovoltaic (PV) system for each station was designed to support the EVcharging activity. In order to estimate the economic viability of the CSs, an economicevaluation was carried out. It was found that with a battery electric vehicle (BEV) trafficvolume of 18 980 annually, a total of 9281 BEVs were charged in those CSs. The profitabilityof the study was proven, with 64% and 65% profit margins for CS1 and CS2 respectively.In conclusion, the PV production was found to reduce the cost of EV charging with respectto a scenario where there was no PV system. The implications of the study have the potentialto demonstrate an increase in the value of a company by utilizing its location and roof areato incorporate an EV charging station. Furthermore, the model was created so that it can besimulated using different assumptions to evaluate the techno-economic feasibility of any EVcharging system that incorporates PV power production.
