Abstract
Fossil fuel-based power generation system is harmful to the environment, and the depleting stage of fossil fuel compelled the researchers to search for alternative ways of power generation. Solar energy is the most prospective way for alternative power generation. Photovoltaic (PV) panels can convert solar energy into electricity and with the technological evolution, PV panels have high efficiency now. Thus, a grid-connected PV system can be a good choice. In this research, an Electric Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS) carries out the economic feasibility of a PV -battery-based system at a commercial site. The location for the project has selected a supermarket in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The HOMER software provides the technical as well as economic results of the project considering the initial cost, net present cost (NPC), cost of energy (COE) with respect to renewable energy (RE) fraction and a different ratio of tariff (ROT). From all these data sensitivities analyzed are performed to choose the best scenario for EVCS.
