Abstract

Solar-powered vehicles have the potential to reduce CO₂ emissions, operational costs and charging frequency needs of electric vehicles. This potential will depend on the local solar irradiation but also shadowing conditions, a relevant issue for urban contexts. The potential of solar-powered vehicles in the urban context is modelled for 100 cities across the world showing that the median solar extended driving range is 18 and 8 km/day/kWp for driving and parked vehicles, respectively. The most favourable geographies include Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia; nonetheless, solar-powered mobility has relevant potential across the full sample, including China, Europe, North America and Australia.

Highlights

Urban VIPV potential is assessed for 100 cities across the world.
Solar extended driving range varies between 11 and 29 km/day/kWp.
Charging frequency ratio ranges from 0% to 80%, with a median of 57%.
Urban shadowing reduces driving range by about 25% for driving vehicles.

城市阴影对太阳能汽车潜力的影响

太阳能汽车具有减少二氧化碳排放、运营成本和电动汽车充电频率需求的潜力。这一潜力不仅取决于当地的太阳辐照度，还取决于阴影条件，这与城市环境息息相关。我们对全球 100 个城市的太阳能汽车在城市环境中的潜力进行了模拟，结果显示，对于行驶中的车辆和停放的车辆，太阳能延长行驶里程的中位数分别为 18 公里/天/千瓦时和 8 公里/天/千瓦时。最有利的地理区域包括非洲、中东和东南亚；然而，太阳能移动技术在包括中国、欧洲、北美和澳大利亚在内的所有样本中都具有相关潜力。亮点对全球 100 个城市的城市 VIPV 潜力进行了评估。太阳能延长行驶里程介于 11 至 29 公里/天/千瓦时之间。充电频率从 0% 到 80%，中位数为 57%。城市阴影使行驶车辆的续驶里程减少约 25%。

期刊介绍： Progress in Photovoltaics offers a prestigious forum for reporting advances in this rapidly developing technology, aiming to reach all interested professionals, researchers and energy policy-makers. The key criterion is that all papers submitted should report substantial “progress” in photovoltaics. Papers are encouraged that report substantial “progress” such as gains in independently certified solar cell efficiency, eligible for a new entry in the journal''s widely referenced Solar Cell Efficiency Tables. Examples of papers that will not be considered for publication are those that report development in materials without relation to data on cell performance, routine analysis, characterisation or modelling of cells or processing sequences, routine reports of system performance, improvements in electronic hardware design, or country programs, although invited papers may occasionally be solicited in these areas to capture accumulated “progress”.
