Techno-economic analysis of photovoltaic rooftop system on car parking area in Rayong, Thailand

Krittaphas Mongkoldhumrongkul

Summary: The government of Thailand has promoted solar energy, specifically photovoltaic power systems, due to the sufficient intensity of solar radiation. This research aims to design and evaluate a photovoltaic rooftop system by considering economic feasibility, energy costs, and carbon dioxide emissions compensation. The results show that the system has a production capacity of 31.49 kWh with an installation area of 184 m(2). The project is considered worthwhile for investment based on its payback period, net present value, internal rate of return, benefit-cost ratio, and carbon dioxide emissions reduction.

Total cost of ownership of internal combustion engine and electric vehicles: A real-world comparison for the case of Thailand

Pana Suttakul et al.

Summary: This study compares the total cost of ownership (TCO) of electric vehicles (EVs) and conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, and proposes different scenarios of EV support policies. The results suggest that hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) are suitable choices in Thailand without any BEV support policies. Direct support towards the vehicles' purchasing prices significantly decreases the TCO.

Comparative life cycle assessment of conventional, electric and hybrid passenger vehicles in Spain

Gonzalo Puig-Samper Naranjo et al.

Summary: This study evaluates and compares the potential environmental effects of electric, hybrid, petrol, and diesel cars in Spain. Results show that electric vehicles have significantly lower CO2 emissions over their lifecycle, but may produce an increase in fine particulate matter formation, human carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic toxicity, and various ecotoxicity levels compared to petrol vehicles. Transfer of environmental burdens between phases poses a new challenge at environmental, social, and legal levels.
