Abstract

This paper presents the Electric Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS) design and
feasibility analysis using hybrid energy sources such as Solar PV, Biomass,
and Diesel generators for India’s metropolitan cities. The planned EVCS
is precisely modelled and simulated by using HOMER software. The per-
formance of the EVCS is analysed by adopting different configurations,
and the techno-economic performance of the proposed system is presented
in detail. The system’s optimum configuration is analysed by considering
the different case studies, and the results are compared. Further, the design
and performance of the EVCS are performed for four metropolitan cities in
India, such as Delhi, Bombay, Bangalore and Chennai, and the performance
parameters are compared.
