Evaluating the Economic and Performance Viability of Grid-Photovoltaic-Powered Level-2 Electric Vehicle Charging Station with Battery Backup
https://doi.org/10.1007/s11814-024-00375-z
Abstract
This study evaluates the techno-economic feasibility of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system coupled with a lithiumion
battery-powered level-2 electric vehicle (EV) charging station in Busan, South Korea. A charging station integrated into
an offi ce building is assumed to cater to EV charging needs. Considering the typical load profi le, the daily average and peak
load demands for the charging station are estimated at 66 kWh and 28 kW, respectively. Simulation results indicate that,
without considering EV sale prices, the net present cost (NPC) is $57,070. However, when the proposed charging price for
South Korea is factored in, the NPC decreases to – $10,046, suggesting economic viability. Compared to a grid-powered EV
charging station (base case), the proposed system demonstrates a 22.89% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. In addition,
various system profi les, including electrical, battery, PV, grid, EV, and inverter profi les, are presented in detail.
