Abstract
The incorporation of renewable energy and the transportation system can be significantly beneficial for the economy and environment of Bangladesh. The main energy source for vehicles in Bangladesh are the country’s natural gas and fuel. However, due to the rapid depletion of the gas reserve, soaring gas prices and global warming, alongside the environmental pollution caused by burning fuel, this raises concerns about these energy sources. Renewable energy offers a plausible solution to these problems. This paper’s objective is to focus on the maximum usages of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system in electrical vehicles and to minimize the environmental impact in terms of CO2 emission. This system may be partially used to power up the electric vehicle with a charging facility and contribute excess power to the national grid. The modeling, with its optimal analysis of the green transportation system, is simulated using the Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Renewables (HOMER) software. The energy produced by the PV system can provide up to 13,792 kWh/year. Approximately 21% of the total production can be used in the charging station for charging the electrical vehicles and the rest of the energy can contribute to the national grid. Moreover, using the proposed concept of green transport will ultimately reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 52,944 kg/year.
Highlights
Transportation plays a vital role in every society
To reduce the growing demand for fossil fuels and to eliminate environmental pollution and noise emission, eco-friendly transportation systems or Green transportation systems are becoming increasingly popular. Their comparative advantage is evident efficiency: whereas the gasoline engine has an efficiency of 25−28%, and a diesel up to 40%, an induction electric motor in alternating current has an efficiency of 90%
We have proposed a complete new use for the existing installed solar PV panels at the selected location, which will optimize the uses of the installed system
Summary
Transportation plays a vital role in every society. It facilitates the cultivation of a lifestyle and enables the delivery of goods and services that promote the development of society. Within global efforts to increase the sustainability of development patterns, certain strategies for increasing transportation’s sustainability have been articulated. These include vehicle technology improvements and clean fuels. One of the major problems of the global transport system is a high dependence on fossil fuels including oil and gas. One-third of the total final energy consumption is a result of the transport sector, including passenger and freight journeys, based on fossil fuels [1]
