An international team of researchers has conducted a study on the feasibility of using hybrid microgrids that integrate photovoltaic (PV) and biogas systems for electric vehicle (EV) recharging in Karnataka, India. The research findings suggest that this combined approach not only offers economic benefits but also environmental advantages compared to separate PV and biogas systems.

The study, titled “Assessment of microgrid integrated biogas–photovoltaic powered Electric Vehicle Charging Station (EVCS) for sustainable future,” was conducted by scientists from REVA University, SDM College of Engineering and Technology, RYM Engineering College, and the National Institute of Technology in India. Additionally, a scientist from the University of Johannesburg in South Africa was also involved in the research.

The research team emphasized the significance of their findings for EV charging station infrastructure development, policymakers, and researchers. However, they acknowledged the challenges associated with widespread adoption of EVs and consumer readiness to invest in the technology.

By combining PV and biogas systems in a microgrid, the researchers aimed to provide a sustainable solution for EV charging. The integration of these two renewable energy sources not only ensures a continuous and reliable power supply but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

The economic and environmental benefits of the hybrid microgrid approach were highlighted, making a case for its implementation in India and other regions with similar conditions. The study’s results were presented at the 8th International Conference on Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering.

Overall, this research highlights the potential of hybrid microgrids to facilitate the transition to sustainable transportation by providing a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for EV recharging.
