Abstract

This research evaluates the planning and development of a hybrid renewable energy system that combines photovoltaic (PV) panels and wind turbines for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations along the Cipali, Semarang-Solo, and Surabaya-Mojokerto highways. As energy demands rise and sustainability becomes increasingly recognized, incorporating renewable energy sources is vital for diminishing reliance on fossil fuels. By employing HOMER Pro software, the study analyzes this hybrid approach's operational performance and economic practicality, emphasizing key metrics such as Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Return on Investment (ROI), and Payback Period. The findings reveal that the PV-Wind hybrid system reduces energy expenses and improves the efficiency and sustainability of EV charging infrastructure. Notably, the Surabaya - Mojokerto site displays the most favorable outcomes, featuring an IRR surpassing 25% and the shortest payback period of four years. These results underscore the critical role of effective management, strategic planning, and sustainable development of renewable energy systems to bolster environmentally conscious transportation infrastructure in Indonesia. ©2025 The authors.
