MICRORED BASED ON SOLAR ENERGY AS A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE FOR ELECTRICAL MOBILITY

Abstract

The technological developments experienced in recent years by the solar photovoltaic industry and its growing economies of scale, have allowed self-supply and net metering with respect to the network become a reality that is increasingly present in the residential and industrial sectors of many Western countries. Spain is amongst of the most reluctant European countries to join this scattered generation model. Nevertheless, the electric vehicle is timidly making its way into certain niche markets. This article analyses, from the point of view of the system sizing, the possibilities of photovoltaic net metering to recharge electric vehicles under a zero emissions scenario or equivalent from a small power installation of approximately 3 kW and therefore perfectly adapted to the usual consumption levels of a typical single-family housing. Keywords: Electric Vehicle, Solar Photovoltaic, Net Metering, Battery Charging, Battery Swapping
