Zero-emission charging stations will help to improve the air quality, EV charging infrastructure-related difficulties, power grid management, and integration of renewable energy.
An official of IISc said that solar power station for EV charging at The Indian Institute of Science.
The official said in their statement, “The zero-emission EV charging station powered by solar cells has been designed and developed at our sustainable transportation lab by the UK-based Greenencho Ltd under the Innovating for Clean Air (IFCA) program of the Energy System Catapult, UK.”
“The custom-made off-grid system comprises a solar photovoltaic (PV) module, hybrid inverter, battery storage and an EV charger. The project was taken up under the Indo-UK collaboration to fight against climate change, as the IFCA program aims to support Indian and British firms in curbing pollution at the source in Bengaluru,”, added in the statement.
The charging point is located at the JRD Tata Memorial library on the campus, with solar panels on the library’s rooftop.
The Official said, “An impact assessment of the charging facility will be conducted at the lab with Greenenco’s support under convenor Ashish Verma’s supervision.”
In this project, Vikram Solar has provided their prospective building modules & Italian firm Fimer has supplied the inverter, battery storage and EV charger.
The lab was set up to help in research and teaching in transportation systems engineering (TSE). The interest area includes sustainable transportation planning and policy, integrated public transport and management, quality of life and climate change.
The initiative is in line with one of the mission statements of the lab, which is to offer scientific expertise and leadership on initiatives related to sustainable transportation by government or non-government organizations.
As a renewable energy advisory firm, GreenEnco provides strategic and risk management consulting services across the solar PV project lifecycle, energy storage, and zero-emission infrastructure projects.
