Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. To address it, several authorities have introduced strict policies for the sectors that have the greatest impact on emissions, such as power generation and transportation. However, the private transportation sector is still slow to change as users doubt the efficiency of vehicles. However, some companies have started to decarbonize their corporate fleets to obtain emission reduction certificates and incentives. This paper proposes a methodology to implement electrification of a corporate fleet by integrating it with electric vehicles and a photovoltaic system to ensure clean energy use. The methodology is based on profiling the company's employees. This approach allows designing an optimized charging system based on a charging management strategy. Then, based on the demand generated by vehicle charging, a photovoltaic system can be implemented alongside a storage system. This electrification process will enable the company to save 992.25 tons of CO2per year and power its electric vehicles.

Abstract
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. To address it, several authorities have introduced strict policies for the sectors that have the greatest impact on emissions, such as power generation and transportation. However, the private transportation sector is still slow to change as users doubt the efficiency of vehicles. However, some companies have started to decarbonize their corporate fleets to obtain emission reduction certificates and incentives. This paper proposes a methodology to implement electrification of a corporate fleet by integrating it with electric vehicles and a photovoltaic system to ensure clean energy use. The methodology is based on profiling the company's employees. This approach allows designing an optimized charging system based on a charging management strategy. Then, based on the demand generated by vehicle charging, a photovoltaic system can be implemented alongside a storage system. This electrification process will enable the company to save 992.25 tons of CO2per year and power its electric vehicles.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
