Abstract

   One of the main causes of air pollution in metropolises is the heavy traffic and high volume of cars and motor vehicles, which undoubtedly play a major role in increasing the amount of air pollutants that introduction of hybrid cars into the urban transport is essential. This paper first briefly introduces plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and their role in fuel consumption management; then a case study of a renewable energy-based charging station for PHEVs was assessed on demand on sunny and cloudy days. On a cloudy day, when wind speeds ranged from 10.4 to 11.6 m/s, charging demand was higher from about 6:00 to about 18:00 than PV and wind power generation, so the power controller turned on the FC to generate the extra energy needed to meet the demand. Also on a sunny day, when wind speeds ranged from 10.2 to 12.3 m/s, the charge demand was lower than PV and wind energy production. Therefore, the power controller turned off the FC and the available additional power was used to break down water to produce hydrogen. Overall, the solar and wind power charging station effectively met the demand for PHEVs on sunny and cloudy days.
