Estudo da implementação de um ônibus elétricos e estacionamento elétrico a base de sistema fotovoltaico na UFC Campus Sobral

Abstract

With the growing demand for electric power and the progressive search for network users generating their own power, the photovoltaic scenery had a giant leap in adoption by part of the population. The electric vehicles scenery in the global scope can enrich even more the search for the implementation of distributed generation, because with their insertion in the electric grid the demand for electric power is going to increase expressively. However, this implementation can bring some undesirable problems to public network, even if they are in a small proportion, mostly in the peak hour for demand. By means of this, the present paper has as its main purpose to present a technical proposal to mitigate this problem of the growing demand to the power utilities, generated by the increase of this demand for electric vehicles in the vehicle fleet. The solution that is going to be pointed out will be by means of the installation of photovoltaic systems integrated to parking lots, working as charging stations to electric vehicles. Along with this there is also the objective of improving the comfort and the access by the population, with an implementation of an electric bus, rechargeable by solar energy. Studies will be conducted on various sceneries of electric vehicles insertion, to then select the most viable system to be installed. The methodology will be applied in Universidade Federal do Ceará - UFC, Campus Sobral. In view of this, an analysis of 3 possible scenarios was carried out with solar energy-based parking and spaces for electric buses and spaces for electric cars, where all were positive in addition to producing surpluses that can be used as credits for the institution. . In addition, parking provides shade for vehicles, contributes to less pollution of the environment, improves accessibility for university students who use the bus and serves as an incentive for the population to purchase this type of vehicle.
