Design and Economic Analysis of a Solar-Powered Charging Station for Personal Electric Vehicles in Indonesia
Journal Title: Journal of Sustainability for Energy - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Indonesia, known for its abundant renewable resources, especially solar energy, presents a substantial potential for developing solar-powered solutions to meet its increasing electricity demands. This study explores the feasibility of a Solar Power Plant (PLTS) as the energy source for a personal Electric Vehicle Charging Station (SPKL), facilitating the transition from fuel-based to electric vehicles. Using a simulation-based approach, a hypothetical daily electricity load of 12,711 kW was considered. The simulations indicate that an On-Grid PLTS is the most economically viable option, offering significant investment returns. The annual energy output of the PLTS was calculated to be 30,767 kWh. Financial projections suggest a substantial profit by the 25th year, amounting to IDR 374,450,204.39. This research underscores the strategic importance of integrating hybrid technologies in developing renewable energy infrastructures, particularly in regions like Indonesia, where solar irradiance is high. The findings advocate for broader implementation of such systems aligned with national energy sustainability and economic efficiency goals.
