Conference Paper Description

This paper focuses on developing a sustainable charging station for public motorbike rental services. Electric motorbikes or electric bicycles (both referred to as E-bike) are compact electric vehicles which are primarily battery powered and driven solely by electric motors. The work proposes a microgrid architecture to develop a novel model for the rental E-bike charging station that acts as a charger for multiple nodes simultaneously as well as acting as a docking/parking station for these vehicles. The model has been built to propose a system which increases the energy savings to rental companies while reducing reliance on public grid during peak hours. The use of distributed generation makes the system more resistant to failure while moving towards a future of eco-friendly and power efficient technology.
