| description | Electric vehicles are crucial for sustainable transport and energy solutions, particularly in developing countries like Bangladesh where their popularity is rising. This study primarily focuses on the techno-economic design of a 300 kWp solar photovoltaic-powered electric vehicle charging station along the Dhaka-Mawa Expressway in Bangladesh, capable of charging 20 electric vehicles simultaneously. The design utilizes the commercially available software package PVsyst 7.2 to ensure the feasibility and efficiency of the charging infrastructure. The use of solar photovoltaics for electric vehicle charging, compared to traditional grid-based methods, offers substantial environmental benefits, including significant reductions in carbon emissions. This shift is driven by decreasing costs, improved module efficiencies, and increased environmental awareness. The estimated levelized cost of energy is calculated at 7.1556 BDT/kWh (BDT is Bangladeshi Taka), with an annual energy generation cost of 1436285.32 BDT. Over a projected lifespan of 25 years, the system is expected to replace 8065 tons of CO2 emissions with its own emissions totaling 537.56 tons, resulting in a net decrease of 6460.2 tons of CO2. This approach not only aligns with Bangladesh’s emission reduction goals but also exemplifies the potential for solar photovoltaic systems to enhance sustainability in transportation. It also emphasizes the importance of integrating renewable energy sources into the electric vehicle-based infrastructure to achieve true sustainability and supports the country’s commitment to combating climate change through technological innovation. |
