Abstract
This paper proposes Python models for a photovoltaic-based charging station for electric vehicles considering technical, economic, and environmental aspects. The proposed models consider two main cases of photovoltaic-based charging systems, which are photovoltaic/grid-charging systems and photovoltaic/grid/battery-charging systems. Moreover, additional operational options, such as exporting energy to the grid and zero-export, are added to the proposed models. The proposed techno-economic models can be used to evaluate the location of the electric vehicle charging station and the financial and environmental benefits of the electric vehicle charging station that is installed in a residential, commercial, or industrial context. The models are tested by proposing a simulation based on load demand, and then different cases, including the actual size case and additional trading cases, are investigated.
