Mitigating Electrical Vehicle Charging Challenges with Microgrid and Solar Systems in Bangladesh

Abstract

Power outage has become the biggest problem in the current scenario in Bangladesh. And one of the major reasons for this is that energy is decreasing in Bangladesh and energy has to be imported from outside. In light of the challenges with demand, it is therefore impossible to produce electricity. Besides, noise pollution, air pollution, and global warming are increasing in our country due to oil and gas-powered vehicles. Moreover, due to the increase in oil and gas prices and the increase in air pollution, and noise pollution in the environment, electric vehicles have become our basic need. But to increase the use of electric vehicles, it is very important to solve its challenges. Through this thesis, we have tried to solve the challenges of electric vehicles in Bangladesh using microgrids and proposed possible solutions. In addition, we have tried to solve the national electricity problem by using solar panels to charge our vehicles as well as meeting our own electricity needs and using some of the electricity from the National Grid. if necessary, we can also take electricity from the National Grid. We compared solar-powered electric vehicle charging combined with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology with battery and solar-powered electric vehicle charging combined with vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology without battery and found which one is more acceptable for Bangladesh. We have also proposed some agreements between the government and the consumers in providing and receiving this electricity. Finally, we have shown that we can meet our electric demands using solar systems. Keywords: microgrid, smart grid, solar panel, battery, electric vehicle, V2G.
