Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the electricity consumption of an electric bus (e-Bus) and a passenger electrical vehicle (EV) in order to investigate the viability of powering such vehicles with grid-connected PV systems and a storage system. The analysis is based on generation data of building-integrated PV systems of the Fotovoltaica/UFSC laboratory (www.fotovoltaica.ufsc.br), and consumption measurements of the laboratory’s e-Bus, which makes 5-daily-round trips of 50 km, and a Renault Twizy. The results showed that the PV systems can play an important role in reducing the high-load demand generated by electromobility, but the addition of a battery for storing the surplus of PV energy would be advantageous to decrease the grid consumption and reduce the dependence of the public grid. Keywords: Electromobility, PV systems, Storage Systems.
