Uma metodologia para o estudo da eficiência energética em veículos elétricos e estações de recarga em eletropostos

Abstract

Electric vehicles emerged before the internal combustion ones but are still treated as novelty and a new solution for human mobility. Although this is not a new technology, in the course of time it was improved and today it’s use is limited by precarious infrastructure in countries such as Brazil. Research and development projects have sought to solutions and dissemination of this technology in order to induce more interest in electric vehicles. In the case of CELESC in Santa Catarina state, there has been an interest to know the impact of those electrical vehicles in the grid which this company manages. The CERTI Foundation as project executor seeks this information and therefore, tests with the vehicles and charging facilities are needed to develop the charging station system. In this work, is sought to know the efficiency of an electrical vehicle acquired by this R&D project and the efficiency of the charging station utilized. The results show that an electrical vehicle is up to seven times more energy efficient that a regular internal combustion car moved by gasoline and the charging station used is slightly more efficient than informed by the manufacturer.
