Hybrid Energy Integration for Electric Vehicles

Abstract

The proposed study investigates the feasibility of integrating solar, wind, and battery storage systems into electric vehicle charging infrastructure in three villages surrounding Sidhwan Bet, Ludhiana: Sidhwan Bet Village, Fattuwal Village, and Dhandra Village. Locations have been preselected based on proximity, land availability, and energy requirements. Data was collected for solar irradiance, wind speed, battery storage capacities, and economic and environmental parameters. Applying the MCDM technique, the research focused on the potential of each location for energy generation, financial viability, and ecological benefits using the TOPSIS method. The analysis shows that Dhandra Village is the most viable site, which provides the maximum annual energy production of 500,000 kWh, which is very reliable at 95%, with an NPV of INR 20,000,000, with the shortest payback period of 7 years.
