Abstract :

The use of electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing daily owing to the lack of fossil fuels on the one hand and the emission of pollution caused by the burning of fossil fuels. In this research, to produce fuel for EVs from renewable sources, a power grid with renewable energy sources such as wind turbines and photovoltaic cells was considered. After modeling, optimization was performed to supply the energy needed by EVs using wind turbines and photovoltaic cells, and the main purpose of this optimization was to reduce environmental pollution by providing maximum energy. One of the important results is the $1601941 investment cost of the wind turbine and photovoltaic cell system.
