In this context, universities are an ideal setting for their installation, as they have a large number of students, professors, and staff who could benefit from them and, at the same time, it serves as teaching material to raise awareness in the use of renewable energy. This work presents the design and proposal of an electric vehicle charging station for the campus of the Universidad Nacional de Rafaela (UNRaf). The station will be located in an area of the campus where the construction of more buildings and sport facilities is planned. This area will not be connected to the electrical grid and instead, will have an energy storage system to guarantee supply. The station will have the capacity to simultaneously charge 4 bicycles and 2 light electric vehicles, with an average energy demand of 0.786 kWh per hour. Homer Pro software was used for the calculations. The most economically viable option was a 100% renewable solution powered only by solar energy. It is expected to consist of a 15-kW solar system that will produce 22,922 kWh/year and a bank of 30 batteries of 3 kWh plus a single battery of 1 kWh. The installation of the electric vehicle charging station on the UNRaf campus will contribute to promoting the adoption of sustainable transportation, which will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions without using the public power grid.}, pages = {1078--1092} doi = {10.61435/ijred.2024.60356}, url = {https://ijred.cbiore.id/index.php/ijred/article/view/60356} }
