Avaliação da capacidade de abastecimento de veículos elétricos a partir da geração solar fotovoltaica instalada na Universidade Federal de Santa Maria

Abstract

We are currently experiencing major changes, both in terms of technology, economy and especially sustainability, which justifies the analysis of the development of new strategies to increase energy efficiency. Thus, from small generation clean technologies, such as the photovoltaic and consumption system, and the emergence of electric vehicles, this study aims to demonstrate possibilities for applying these concepts to increase energy efficiency. Thus, through the analysis of some models of electric vehicles and photovoltaic generations, it was possible to establish the economic feasibility of using electric vehicles in a fleet. For this analysis, the Federal University of Santa Maria was used as it has a fleet of combustion vehicles. The results show that the use of electric vehicles, in part of the fleet, mainly for low displacements, will generate financial savings for the institution and a reduction in environmental impacts.
