Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and
governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The
deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained
stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types.
The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and
stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV
and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the
theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required
equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In
addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and
requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows
setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The
presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the
necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The
result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the
theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The
short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's
novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the
proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a
transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network.

1. INTRODUCTION
Transportation is a necessary activity in modern cities. Indeed, access to any services or activities, such
as work, social gatherings, shopping, and education, is made possible by transportation. People's capacity to
engage in social and economic activities is impacted by the caliber of the transportation options that are
accessible. For manufacturers, advancing the efficiency of the plant from a transportation point of view will
enhance its financial stand for manufacturing. However, the transportation sector is considered one of the main
contributors to carbon dioxide emissions which has negative impacts on global warming. To overcome the
environmental issue, companies and governments are shifting toward electric transportation that is supported by
renewable energy resources. Recently, the industry for electric vehicles (EVs) has grown as a result of the
convergence of low-cost EVs, charging infrastructure, and a desire to lessen air pollution. Numerous researches
address the positive impact of deploying electric vehicles and the banned of combustion engines [1].

Governments including the United Arab Emirates (UAE) started the move toward EVs, especially in areas that
contain renewable energy sources [2]. Robust charging infrastructure that not only satisfies the present demand
for charging but also encourages adoption growth is necessary for sustainable growth in EV adoption. Many
contend that the major obstacle to EV adoption is still the absence of widespread charging infrastructure and
the potential range anxiety it may induce [3].
The deployment of electric transportation requires high electrical power and charging infrastructure.
These structures required adequate management to ensure the optimum operation is maintained. The increase in
electrical power system infrastructure or capacity to support the additional load for the electrical vehicle will
increase the safety risks of step, touch, and transfer voltages [4], [5]. The presence of the PV system will
eliminate the need for additional electrical infrastructure which reduces the risks of electrical shock or transfer.
The management systems include numerous types of power distributions that include vehicle to grid, vehicle to
vehicle, and vehicle to home [6]. The high energy penetration of the EV into the local grid network puts a
burden on the current distribution network, especially during peak hours [7], [8]. To minimize this impact,
numerous researchers use renewable energy systems to support the charging stations and reduce the stress on
the grid [6]–[9]. A photovoltaic (PV) system with battery storage demonstrated excellent performance
improvement for the charging stations [10], [11]. The energy storage captures the surplus energy produced from
the PVs during the maximum power output and will discharge it when the PV system cannot meet the load
demand. The grid connection stage will ensure a continuous supply when there is an energy shortage from the
PV and the battery storage [12], [13]. For a manufacturing plant, it is recommended the deployment of
renewable energy, especially PV systems. The deployment of PV systems encourages the move from fossil fuel
transportation systems to electrified ones. Recently, PV and EV deployment has gained stronger momentum
worldwide [14], [15]. In many countries, the cost of electrical consumption puts burdens on the commercial
setup of a wide range of industries.
PV systems have a proven capability to support a larger load for a manufacturing plant [16], [17]. The
PV on its own can support the plant's required load only during the day of sunny days [18], [19]. To ensure the
required output power is generated during the early hours of the morning, additional numbers of PV panels will
be installed [20]. The increase in the number of panels leads to surplus power that is not needed for the
manufacturing plant load. Figure 1 shows the surplus power generated from the PV system. The PV output
depends on the PV panels' orientation, Figure 1 represents the output of panels facing south at a nominal tilt.
Figure 2 represents the output power of a PV system for different orientations, Figure 2(a) represents the shape
of the output of PV panels facing east at a nominal tilt, while Figure 2(b) represents the shape of a PV panel's
output facing west at a nominal tilt [21]. When combining PV panel output with a tilt orientation between east,
south, and west with nominal tilts, the system will have high peak load during morning, midday and afternoon
[22]. For maximum power output throughout the year, south orientation is the optimum one [22], [23].

In the recent years, many researchers have studied the integration of PV systems and EVs, mostly due
to two factors: lower energy costs and lower emissions. Most of these studies concentrate on the unique effects
of PV and EV grid integration. However, it is essential to remember that as PVs and EVs become more
commonplace, the power grid will be affected by the combined effects of PV–EV integration. Tavakoli et al.
[24] provided a detailed analysis of the effects of PV and EV grid integration on grid stability, power quality,

and energy economics. Given the intermittent nature of PV energy sources and the unpredictable load
characteristics of EVs, it is clear that a high penetration of PV systems and EVs individually can have a
detrimental effect on grid stability and power quality. Nevertheless, coordinated or combined PV and EV
operating techniques, might reduce these detrimental effects on grid stability and electricity quality. Large-scale
EV load aggregators and photovoltaic systems will consider significant actors in the future energy market due to
their high penetration and ability to potentially influence the pricing and outcome of the wholesale energy
market in the future smart grid.

The economic feasibility of integrating renewable energy charging and electric vehicle (EV) use on a
university campus was simulated in [25]. The best option for each electrical source's power loading, energy
dispatch, and financial viability was found using Homer energy simulation software. Three scenarios were
considered. The baseline that provided the electric parameters for a grid without the integration of renewable
energy was considered in the first scenario. In the second scenario, the solar and wind systems were considered
with the grid to charge the EVs. The third scenario was similar to the second but with EVs operating under the
vehicle-to-grid (V2G) scheme to supply energy to the grid. The result of these scenarios showed that higher
costs were required in the second scenario due to the system operation associated with extra local load to power

the EVs. In addition, in the second and third scenarios, the EVs assisted the renewable energy sources'
penetration into the system. Nevertheless, the operation of EVs on a V2G mechanism contributed to the highest
rate of renewable energy penetration. Boström et al. [26] gave a conceptual analysis of a pure PV-EV-based
energy system. They considered Spain as a case study. They conclude that, with EVs serving as the only energy
storage resource, a whole nation like Spain can run its entire energy system entirely on photovoltaic energy.
The advancement in technologies along with PV and EV can play a critical role in reducing the burden
of manufacturing financial systems especially when it comes to electrical consumption and transportation. The
work in this paper highlights the novel approach of PV and EV in reducing the financial burden of a
manufacturing setup. The main objectives can be summarized by: i) Highlights the financial benefits of joining
forces between PV systems and electrified transportation; ii) Cover different scenarios with the presence and
absence of EV, PV, and grid systems; iii) Extends to the possibility of the micro-grid system between different
plants located near or within the same industrial area; and iv) Consider a dairy farmer's milk factory as a case
study.
This paper is organized into five sections. First, the proposed method is described in section 2.
Section 3 includes the case study scenarios. The discussion of the case study scenarios is illustrated in section 4.
This paper ends with a conclusion in section 5.
2. PROPOSED METHOD
Recently, many manufacturers and companies have been shifting to renewable energy sources such as
PV systems. These systems may produce power higher than the requested load. The PV surplus power as a
function of time can be presented by (1).
𝑃𝑆 = 𝑃𝑃𝑉 − 𝑃𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑 (1)
where 𝑃𝑠 is the surplus power in kWh, 𝑃𝑃𝑉 is the instantaneous power generated by the PV system in kWh, and
𝑃𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑 is the factory-instantaneous power consumption in kWh. In the proposed hybrid system, an exchange of
electricity power process between PV systems, grids, and EVs will be established. This process is illustrated in
Figure 3. The communication line assesses the following PV-generated power (𝑃𝑃𝑉), the plant-required load
power (𝑃𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑), the available electric vehicles' on-site state of charge (SOCEV), and the grid connection voltage
(VG), before it instructs the generated power distribution process. When the power provided by the PV system
is higher than the required load (𝑃𝑠 is positive), the system allows the surplus power to be used to charge the EV
batteries. In addition, when the PV system fails to provide the required load (𝑃𝑠 is negative), it is possible to
import energy from the EVs if required by the operators. The decision-making circuit is located at the plant with
the following pre-set scenarios.
Figure 3. Design diagram of the proposed approach

2495
− Scenario 1: The scenario covered in this part represents the case where the grid and EVs are available.
Thus, the system compares the generated power to the required load of the plant. If the load is higher than
the generated power, the system assesses the state of charge (SOC) of the EV and checks its deployment
time. If the SOC is higher than the minimum limit (the minimum limit will be set by the operator), the
system will assess if the EVs can support the load. If yes, the plant-required power will be sourced from
the EV. If not, the grid will support the load. If the load is lower than the generated power, the system will
check the SOC of the EVs if any EV requires charging, the control circuit allows for the surplus power to
be sent to the EV batteries. If the EV SOC is at 100%, the surplus power will be injected into the grid.
− Scenario 2: This scenario covered in this part represents the case where the grid is not available but EVs
are available. Thus, the system compares the generated power to the required load of the plant. If the load is
higher than the generated power, the system will check the SOC of the EV. If the available power in the EVs
is capable of supporting the load, the system will extract the EV's power. If the available power in the EVs is
not capable of supporting the load, the system will reduce the plant load to a value that the available PV and
EV’s powers are sufficient to support the operation. The determination of this process is based on a critical
load set by the plant operator. If the load is lower than the generated power, the system will check the SOC
of the EVs, if any EV requires charging, the control circuit allows for the surplus power to be sent to the EV
batteries. If the EV SOC is at 100%, the system will reduce the PV generation by communicating to the
MPPT of the PV system.
− Scenario 3: This scenario represents the case where the grid and EVs are both not available. Thus, the
system completes the following assessments. If the load is higher than the generated power, the system will
reduce the plant power to an acceptable limit. If the load is lower than the generated power, the system will
allow the plant to operate under normal conditions.
After presenting the proposed model diagram and the considered scenario, the mathematical model
can be described using (2).
𝑃𝐺 = 𝑃𝑃𝑉 − 𝑃𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑 ∓ 𝑃𝐸𝑉 (2)
where 𝑃𝐺 is the grid's instantaneous power in kWh and 𝑃𝐸𝑉 is the EV required instantaneous power in kWh. The
∓𝑃𝐸𝑉 represents the power of the EV under both conditions, charging and discharging. When the EV is
charging, the power will be considered negative and when the EV is discharging, the power will be considered
positive. Equation (3) describes the cost model captures multiple scenarios that include transportation:
𝐶𝑇 = 𝐶𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑 + 𝐶𝐸𝑉 (3)
where 𝐶𝑇 is the total cost saved per day, 𝐶𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑 is the total cost saved for the load, and 𝐶𝐸𝑉 is the total cost saved
on transportation of petrol. The cost-saving 𝐶𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑 can be calculated using (4):
𝐶𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑 = (𝑃𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑−𝑃𝑉 + 𝑃𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑−𝐸𝑉) × 𝑃$ (4)
where 𝑃𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑−𝑃𝑉 is the load in kWh supported by the PV-generated power, 𝑃𝐿𝑜𝑎𝑑−𝐸𝑉 is the load in kWh
supported by the EV power, and 𝑃$ is the cost in dollars per kWh. The cost saved on transportation is calculated
using (4). The equation is generated using an average of 8 liters per petrol per 100 km fossil fuel car [24]. It is
worth noting that 8 liters per 100 km are considered for an average economical car that is manufactured between
2006 and 2017 [24].
𝐶𝐸𝑉 = (
𝑁𝑘𝑚
100
× 8) × 𝑙$ (5)
where 𝑁𝑘𝑚 is the number of km that the charged EV can travel and 𝑙$ is the cost per fossil fuel liter. Example:
Consider a small hybrid system that contains a PV system with a maximum power of 45 kWh (𝑃𝑃𝑉). Figure 4
shows an illustration output of (2) for a given load and with grid power availability (𝑃𝐺). It is based on a peak
load of 25 kW. As shown in his figure, the PV offered 370 kWh for the day. This provided power can cover the
load (220 kWh) and the EV (150 𝑃𝑠). Thus, the PV-provided power is capable of powering three cars that have a
total traveling distance of more than 1,000 km.
Figure 5 shows the simulated power flow without the grid presence. The simulation is based on
minimizing the load consumption outside the sunlight period to the emergency components which in this case is
presented by a 2 kWh load. As illustrated in Figure 5, the EV supported the factory critical load by injecting
24 kWh, and then the EV charged using 150 kWh from the PV system. Using (3), (4), and (5), the cost saving
based on data in Figure 5 can be calculate. If the cost of one kWh is $0.22, cost of one liter of car fuels is
$2.039, and the EV consume 15 kWh 100 km [27]–[31], the saving cost will be 211$ per day.

3. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The case study addresses the requirements of a commercial post office center and a dairy farmer milk
factory. Figure 6 represents the normal daily load of each setup with the grid presence. The post office has 4
vehicles that travel every day 800 km while the dairy milk factory has 6 vehicles that travel every day 700 km.
The grid electricity cost is $0.27/kWh and the cost per car fuel is $2.039/liter. Table 1 shows the paper's initial
cost assessment of electrical consumptions and the petrol used for the car. Following the approach in this paper,
both plants decided to replace their vehicles with electric ones and to install a PV system to support their
electrical loading.

The car replacement takes place at the end of the fleet life; therefore, no additional cost is considered
for the vehicle replacements. Regarding the solar system cost installation, the case study uses $1.91/W as
supported by the U.S. solar photovoltaic system and energy storage cost benchmark [32]. Table 2 shows the PV
installation cost, the daily grid electricity cost, and the car petrol cost with the presence of PV and the absence of
the EV. Table 3 reflects the analysis in this paper with the presence of PV and EV. It is clearly shown that
advance in return on investment and a high reduction in operation cost especially after 3 years.
The types of plants, post offices, and dairy factories, under consideration for the case study are relevant
to all countries and cities. Their adequate operation is critical for human everyday activities. The proposal under
this paper highlights that converting combustion engine vehicles into electric ones saves on the operation cost,
and also it allows for advanced operation with the presence of the PV solar system. The presence of the EV
allows for maximum harvesting of PV energy which decreases the return-on-investment period. Also, as shown
in this paper, in the presence of a power outage, the PV system along with the EV can support the operation of
the plant which also advances their quality and people's trust in their services. The theoretical information
presented in this paper made it easy for researchers and plant owners to assess their return on investment by
simply deploying the mentioned equations. The case study supported the theoretical approach and highlighted
its advantages. It is also worth noting that the kWh price that is used for the case study will increase
dramatically if an electrical grid is not present and a diesel generator is required to support the load. This case
exists in numerous countries within the Middle East and Africa region.

4. CONCLUSION
This study highlighted the importance of PV systems when it comes to clean energy. Also, the
deployments of PV and EVs are gaining stronger momentum worldwide. The presence of the PV can support
the commercial plant as well as electric transportation. The proposed equations in this paper allow plant owners
to understand the financial benefit of integration between PV and EV for manufacturing and commercial
operation. Reducing the cost of operations leads to a healthier financial system which allows the owner to
consider future growth. The theoretical study presented by the paper along with the proposed diagram shows
how it is possible to achieve a higher rate of sustainability without impacting the plant operation. The presented
simulation figures illustrate the electrical power flow with and without the presence of the electrical grid. This
illustration shows the possibility of having a sustainable electrical system without the grid presence. The case
study followed by a discussion was illustrated. The results of the case study showed that advance in return on
investment and a high reduction in operation costs after less than five years. The information presented supports
researchers and plant owners with all the required assessments especially when it comes to cost analyses. The
case study showed the increased benefits when following the paper approach under the presence of PV and EV.
With the advancements in energy management tools and PV and EV capabilities, the proposed theoretical
approach can be easily implemented on sites. Finally, relying on PV and EV to support the electrical load of the
commercial setup eliminates the need for electrical infrastructure uprate or upgrade which reduces the safety
risks of electrical shock. This adds additional benefits of the proposed systems.
