Estudio de factibilidad tecnológica y económica de la integración de generación fotovoltaica y vehículos eléctricos según un escenario residencial promedio y situación energética del Ecuador.

Abstract

This present graduate research aimed to study the technological and economic feasibility of integrating photovoltaic generation (PV) and electric vehicles (EV) according to an average residential scenario and energy situation in Ecuador. The necessary parameters were identified through a literature review of the existing regulations in the country, providing the foundation for the entire process of injecting electrical flow into the network. Based on a photovoltaic system installed on the roof of an average 110 m2 residence in the country. In order to obtain a cost-benefit in a period of no more than five years. This profit is the difference between the energy demanded and the energy supplied. By using bidirectional converters, it is achieved that the power load of the home can also be supplied from the vehicle batteries, guided by the DC bus for its power. The EV Skywell ET5 is used as the ideal vehicle for comparison with combustion engine vehicles such as the Chevrolet Captiva (gasoline) and the D-Max Premier (diesel). The EV Skywell ET5 is the ideal vehicle for comparing combustion vehicles such as the Chevrolet Captiva (gasoline) and the D-Max Premier (diesel). A vehicle's average daily distance travels 36.66 km, which serves as the baseline data for the average calculations. These data serve as parameters to determine the objective function, which is used as the core part of the particle optimization algorithm, developed in the C++ language using the Python IDE, based on the generation, consumption, and driving profiles, which demonstrates that it is technologically and economically feasible by 2% compared to traditional systems on a scale of thousands of dollars, which represents a significant difference using the chi-squared method, demonstrating a substantial 38.48% savings on the electric bill.
