Ready the first photovoltaic stations for electric cars
Toyota Industries Corp., one of the industrial branches of the Toyota group, has developed and produced a charging station for solar electric vehicles (EV) and plug-in hybrid (PHV). The purpose of the operation is to provide the City of Toyota, Aichi Prefecture in Japan, 21 of these charging stations in 11 different areas of the city, starting from the municipal offices, from the government and railway stations. From April 2010 these distributors electricity from the sun will keep on charging the 20 Prius Plug-in hybrids use the common Japanese.
through solar panels placed on the roof of the station's electrical supply, the structure is capable of producing 1.9 kW of storing electricity for 8.4 kWh. In addition to having its own system of accumulation of electricity, the station is connected to the normal power supply. The charging of EVs and PHV occurs through direct connection to solar panels and batteries to the appropriate "buffer" (101 volts), and when neither of the two systems can provide the energy needed to recharge the network connection is activated ( 202 volts). In this ensures the consistency and cost of supplies, with the advantage of being able to use the excess energy to operate the station itself or sell it to companies that specialize in the energy sector. Even in the event of a natural disaster or emergency power failure, the pump station is self-sufficient and able to provide electricity independently to 101 volts.
