Abstract

The transport sector continues to be the greatest contributor to the alarming emission levels. In fact, today more than ever, people favor the use of passenger vehicles over public transport to avoid contact with coronavirus. Carbon savings made across the sectors during the global lockdown to control the spread of the novel COVID-19 virus are therefore at a great threat. This necessitates the need for sustainable transition to an ultra-low carbon transportation system. Although, electric vehicles enablement continues to aid with transition, the sustainability of the fuel poses greater risks for pollution shifting. In this paper an DC microgrid EV charging solution powered by renewables is explored through MATLAB and HOMER simulation. A realistic approximation to carpark special constraints is calculated and a solar PV system in both S-shape and M-shape configurations is modelled. The analysis for efficient space utilisation is based on sun path data and weather conditions in the city of Leeds for a constant peak load of 10 EVs. As well as, an alternative in the form of a small wind turbine is compared with photovoltaics for a single charging station.

太阳能电动汽车充电站的最佳空间利用

运输部门仍然是令人震惊的排放水平的最大贡献者。事实上，今天人们比以往任何时候都更喜欢使用乘用车而不是公共交通工具来避免接触冠状病毒。因此，在全球封锁期间为控制新型冠状病毒传播而实现的各部门碳节约面临巨大威胁。这就需要向超低碳运输系统可持续过渡。尽管电动汽车的启用继续有助于转型，但燃料的可持续性对污染转移构成了更大的风险。本文通过MATLAB和HOMER仿真，探索了一种基于可再生能源的直流微电网电动汽车充电方案。对停车场的特殊约束条件进行了近似计算，并对s形和m形两种构型的太阳能光伏系统进行了建模。对有效空间利用的分析是基于利兹市的太阳路径数据和10辆电动汽车恒定峰值负荷的天气条件。此外，还将小型风力涡轮机的替代形式与单个充电站的光伏发电进行了比较。
