Integration Scheme for Electric Vehicles Charging with Modular Substation and Photovoltaic Shelter

The limitations of the Charging Station and the minimum number of Charging Station outlets will become a bottleneck in the development of the electric vehicle ecosystem in Indonesia. Implementation of Integrated Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging with Modular Substations and Photovoltaic Shelters is a solution for market penetration to meet the needs of electric vehicles in urban areas. It can be the solution for obtaining optimal charging station gaps and upgrading the renewable energy sector by using Photovoltaic (PV) to support energy transition. A simulation has been developed to design a modular substation integrated with PV sources, Battery charging, and Electric Vehicles with a capacity of 10 electric motors and 3 electric cars that can be mobilized according to the needs and growth of a load of electric vehicles. Based on the financial simulation, the economic indicators in the form of IRR 74%, NPV 6.3, and the Payback period of 3 years can meet the project implementation criteria at PLN. Eventually, this scientific work can support the policy of the Indonesian government through PLN to implement renewable energy in the target composition of the energy mix of 1,75% on pursuing net-zero carbon neutrality in 2060.
