Abstract
Energy saving is an important issue addressed by electric utilities and consumers. Electric vehicles contribute to the world's emissions reduction, especially under renewable power generating systems. This research aims to investigate the feasibility of installing a photovoltaic system to sustain proposed electric vehicles load demand at King Fahd University of Petroleum Minerals campus, Dhahran. The Kingdom has a very attractive solar energy resources and can be effectively employed. The PV systems will be mainly applied to the free space areas of existing parking lots through the university campus. The total amount of available area will be approximated in which the system to be installed. The system will be designed in standalone basis. The simulation will investigate the system performance for a system with and without storage units. The effect of various losses factors, e.g. temperature losses, will be taken into account. The PV system will be responsible for satisfying the total EV load demand, which is assumed to be existing in the university parking lots. A reliability assessment will be carried out in terms of availability of service and the average interruption and duration indices to assist in selecting a battery size.
