The Trend of Green Power in the Civilian Vehicle Market

In traditional centralized electricity generation units, fossil fuels, such as

coal, oil, and liquefied natural gas, and steam turbines are used to generate continuous

and stable power for loads. However, these units produce emissions and cause

pollution. Green power, including wind and solar power, provides maximum

environmental benefits and is associated with zero emissions and low pollution.

However, climatic variations may result in the requirement of a high spinning reserve

for a green power system; thus, the development of green power has been limited. An

electric storage system (ESS) can overcome the aforementioned problem. The

household vehicle market provides various types of vehicles, such as internal

combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid EVs, and

fuel-cell EVs. However, many developed countries are planning to ban ICE vehicles

between 2030 and 2040. EVs are driven with zero emissions by an electric motor.

Moreover, these vehicles can achieve high torque with low speed and are thus more

efficient than traditional ICE vehicles. However, the use of EVs is limited by their high

battery costs and long charging time. With the progress of battery technology, battery

and ESS costs are decreasing. Affordable electricity storage devices would enhance the

efficiency of green power generation systems and the adoption of green power.

Multiple power-generating resources are associated with low emissions; thus, vehicles

running on traditional fossil fuels are gradually being replaced by vehicles running on

these resources.
