Abstract |
With the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy, integrating EV charging stations with photovoltaic (PV) systems gains attention for reducing emissions and enhancing sustainability. This study proposes an EV charging station sizing methodology considering renewable energy penetration. We validate it using a test power system and the EV station Capacity Saturation Point technique. The approach involves a rigorous analysis of EV charging station sizing considering multiple parameters. It explores surplus energy reduction through various PV-EV capacity ratios, identifying marginal points where additional capacity offers limited benefits. This informs efficient station design. Our novel approach aligns EV station design with renewable energy penetration, validated with real-world data. It provides valuable insights for optimal and sustainable EV charging stations. |
