Modeling Future Solar and Wind Energy Source Applications for Power Generation at Public Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in Airport Parking Areas Using HOMER-Grid

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Indonesia is generous in renewable energy resources since the country benefits from abundant solar energy.There has been an increase in the energy demand, and thus, it is essential to consider shifting to renewable energy sources to sustain future energy demand.This research looks at how renewable energy could be formed in an airport, specifically alleviating the use of fossil fuel-powered vehicles.Among them is the engineering of a standalone Public Electric Vehicle Charging Station (SPKLU) powered by other energies.The researcher applies a HOMER-Grid simulation approach to design an approximate daily electrical load of 424.25kW.According to the projections made in the simulation, approximately 254,078kWh of electricity will be produced annually from this renewable energy system.The percentage contribution of the energy from this system to the total energy load is 26.11%.Harnessing renewable energy at the airport is about developing a green technology approach, which can reduce the operational carbon footprint efficiency of the airport and help make the operation more sustainable.
