Análisis técnico-económico de la implementación de una flota de camiones eléctricos y sistema de carga fotovoltaico para la empresa Kubiec.

Abstract

The present work aims to carry out a technical-economic analysis for the implementation of electric trucks and photovoltaic charging system through the study of a representative route for Kubiec. This route was established from data provided by the company. The energy demand of the truck was quantified considering the distance traveled on the route, as well as the work shifts over a week. This week was replicated for the whole year Two scenarios were proposed for the analysis of the charging system for the electric truck. The first was a photovoltaic system with storage in a battery bank ant the second with grid connection. For the second case, the energy produced is injected into the grid at the time of production and is recovered from it when the battery of the truck needs to be charged. The photovoltaic sizing was carried out with the program “System Advisor Model-SAM”. For the economic analysis, the Total Cost of Ownership indicator was used, which allowed estimating all the direct and indirect costs that influence the decision-making process when buying an electric or internal combustion engine vehicle. Finally, it was found that the second scenario covers the technical and economic parameters, and this can be projected as a viable option towards a cleaner freight transportation.
