초록/요약
In recent decades, the world has suffered from a huge climate crisis. Therefore, the global powers are working towards mitigating these crises. They set out a global framework to avoid dangerous climate change by limiting global warming to well below 2°C and pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C. At the signing of the Paris Accord in 2015, the Jordanian government set an unconditional target to reduce 1.5% of Jordan’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the year 2030 in comparison to a business as usual scenario level. Whereas the conditional outcome aim is to reduce 14% of Jordan’s GHG emissions by 2030. The transport sector is a significant contributor to the global climate crisis. Additionally, the transportation sector in Jordan is the second-largest source of GHG emissions after the energy sector, contributing 28% of the total national GHG emissions in 2016. As a result, the Jordanian government has taken steps to encourage the use of electric vehicles (EVs) and to build out the infrastructure for their charging. Thus, the main objective of this study is to design and analyze the optimal configuration of solar-powered electric vehicle charging stations (EVCS) in Jordan by using HOMER Grid software. Furthermore, the optimization design for different scenarios is investigated, including the current base scenario (utility grid only) and scenarios for 30%, 50%, and 70% charge supply by Photovoltaic (PV) system. Economic analysis has shown that introducing the usage of solar energy may not provide the best economic impact in light of the current international prices of the PV and storage systems. However, this limitation would be eliminated if the global price of PV systems were reduced. Nevertheless, with reference to the environmental analysis, all scenarios of introducing the PV penetrations offer remarkable improvements and result in high reduction of the GHG in Jordan. Additionally, the outcomes of this study would have an important implication not only for policy-making and solar-powered EVCS investment in Jordan but also for improving a comprehensive framework for the EVs industry in other countries with similar conditions in the Middle East.
