“…In a conventional application of the Tarot model in the electric sector, as seen in References 7, 9, and 10 the expenses considered in the equation are mainly related to the purchase of energy, use of the basic network, charges, and taxes, losses of electricity, and depreciation. When these issues are taken into account, electricity has a higher final value applied to the consumer than the value due to the utility of electricity, given by the entrance tariff in the model.…”

“…This economic model will establish new forms of negotiations, governed by a specific tariff for this type of operation. In Reference 7, the author highlights that the electricity tariff is the composition of the calculated values that represent each part of the investments and technical operations carried out by the agents of the production network and the necessary structure so that the energy can be used by the consumer. The tariff, therefore, represents the sum of all components of the industrial distribution process added by the charges directed to finance the implementation of public policies.…”

Electric vehicles are becoming more popular in the automobile sector since questions about the environment and quality of life have become increasingly important. New ways of commercializing energy should be regulated, like the sale prices applied to service stations for electric vehicles. This study adopted a model for calculating tariffs at a charging station using the optimized tariff methodology-Tarot, a new application for this method. The charging station proposed uses an alternative energy generation system comprised of photovoltaic panels and wind turbines. We evaluated four regions in Brazil with different solar and wind potentials. This is done to see how the tariff can be impacted by the use of natural resources. As a result, we indicate that the application of the Tarot methodology adapted to the concept of charging electric vehicles from the use of renewable sources becomes an opportunity for the sector to apply a tariff adjusted to national regulatory guidelines and to provide a better cost/benefit for the consumer. Of the four regions analyzed, Region 2 proved to be the best region for the implementation of this type of enterprise with the use of a wind and solar distributed generator. The difference in billing value with the average tariff applied with the aid of the distributed system and purely energy network reaches 6% in Region 2. If the photovoltaic generation is added in 30% in this location, it can cause a reduction of up to 7% in the tariff for the sale of energy to vehicles.

“…Before investing in the project of on-grid PV system for electrification of Cedars hotel, it is necessary conduct a risk analysis to evaluate the range of possible variations of outputs with response to the potential variation in the input parameters [ 69 ]. The input parameters that must be considered should relate directly affects the output of the project such as voltage fluctuations and the electricity tariff.…”

This paper presents a feasibility study of utilizing an on-grid photovoltaic (PV) system for electrification of Cedars hotel located in Amman in Jordan as a case study. The PV system has been designed, keeping in view the required electrical load and energy available from the sun in Jordan. The actual energy consumption of the hotel is estimated (444 MWh/year) for the design and simulation of the on-grid PV system using Photovoltaic Geographical Information System software (PVGIS) and photovoltaic software (PVsyst). The results showed that PV system required 912 panels distributed over 12 inverters, with a required area of 1757.3 m 2 . In addition, the on-grid PV system produced a total yearly energy of 541 MWh, with an average performance ratio of 0.828. The economic study for the proposed PV system showed that the system’s payback period was 4.1 year. Moreover, life cycle savings (LCS) and levelized cost of energy (LCOE) analysis have been carried out. The LCS and LCOE of the system were found to be $51,493 and $0.0199 /kWh, respectively. Therefore, installing a proposed on-grid PV system on the Cedars hotel will save $38,718/year. It is concluded that an on-grid PV system is a technically and economically viable technology for the electrification of residential hotel applications.
