Abstract

Energy consumption is increasing gradually with worldwide industrialization. This increase creates a high demand for production which depends on mostly fossil fuels. The use of fossil fuels leads to environmental pollution. Additionally, remaining reserves are limited. Internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are the most widely used vehicles worldwide and there is an enormous amount of fossil fuel consumption by them. Furthermore emissions released to nature by these vehicles are pollutants and they are big chink in our nature’s armor. Because of these reasons, nowadays the demand for electric vehicles (EV) is increasing as an alternative form of transportation. Thus, EVs put themselves forward. In this paper, a charging station infrastructure for commercial electric vehicles used in public and their integration to an existing system is studied that intended to be used in university in near future. Case studies are examined and their results are compared.

Abstract

Dünya çapındaki endüstriyelleşme enerji tüketiminin giderek artmasına sebep olmuştur. Artan bu tüketim fosil yakıtlar tarafından karşılanmaktadır. Fosil yakıt tüketimi ise çevre kirliliğine sebep olmaktadır. Buna ek olarak dünya fosil yakıt rezervleri ise giderek azalmaktadır. İçten yanmalı motorlu taşıtlar dünya genelinde en yaygın olarak kullanılan taşıtlardır ve büyük miktarlarda fosil yakıt tüketmektedirler. Dahası bu araçlardan çevreye yayılan emisyonlar doğaya büyük oranda zarar vermektedirler. Bu sebeplerden ötürü, günümüzde elektrikli araçlara olan ilgi artmış ve taşımacılık sektöründe alternatif bir çözüm olarak elektrikli araçlar öne çıkmışlardır. Bu makalede, yakın gelecekte üniversitede kullanılması öngörülen elektrikli araçlar için şarj istasyonu altyapısı ve bu altyapının var olan sisteme entegrasyonu çalışılmıştır.
