The Paris Agreement on Climate Change adopted on December 12, 2015
is a voluntary effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In order
to reach the goals of this agreement, there is a need to generate
electricity without greenhouse gas emissions and to electrify
transportation. An infrastructure of SPCSs can help accomplish both
of these transitions. Globally, expenditures associated with the
generation, transmission, and use of electricity are more than one
trillion dollars per year. Annual transportation expenditures are
also more than one trillion dollars per year. Almost everyone will
be impacted by these changes in transportation, solar power
generation, and smart grid developments. The benefits of reducing
greenhouse gas emissions will differ with location, but all will be
impacted. This book is about the benefits associated with adding
solar panels to parking lots to generate electricity, reduce
greenhouse gas emissions, and provide shade and shelter from rain
and snow. The electricity can flow into the power grid or be used
to charge electric vehicles (EVs). Solar powered charging stations
(SPCSs) are already in many parking lots in many countries of the
world. The prices of solar panels have decreased recently, and
about 30% of the new U.S. electrical generating capacity in 2015
was from solar energy. More than one million EVs are in service in
2016, and there are significant benefits associated with a
convenient charging infrastructure of SPCSs to support
transportation with electric vehicles. Solar Powered Charging
Infrastructure for Electric Vehicles: A Sustainable Development
aims to share information on pathways from our present situation to
a world with a more sustainable transportation system with EVs,
SPCSs, a modernized smart power grid with energy storage, reduced
greenhouse gas emissions, and better urban air quality. Covering
200 million parking spaces with solar panels can generate about 1/4
of the electricity that was generated in 2014 in the United States.
Millions of EVs with 20 to 50 kWh of battery storage can help with
the transition to wind and solar power generation through owners
responding to time-of-use prices. Written for all audiences, high
school and college teachers and students, those in industry and
government, and those involved in community issues will benefit by
learning more about the topics addressed in the book. Those working
with electrical power and transportation, who will be in the middle
of the transition, will want to learn about all of the challenges
and developments that are addressed here.
