This master thesis investigates a renewable energy integration to supply partially the E18 highway fast-charging stations, planned to be installed due to the electrification of the transportation sector. First, the energy demand of those ones was simulated, considering an uncontrolled charging behaviour, which is more likely in an highway environment. Then, three clusters have been created in order to group the FCS and simplify the dimensioning of the renewable power plants. The renewable capacity to install was then elected by considering three different case studies in a sensitivity analysis, each meeting a different share of the demand with greener energy. Once, dimensioned accordingly, the generation performance was evaluated, adding the storage component of lithium-ion battery pack. In the next step, the economical performance was evaluated by calculating different quantities to assess the investment: CAPEX, OPEX, revenues and finally a list of profitability indexes. To conclude the analysis, an environmental assessment of the life-cycle impact of the introduction of renewable power plants compared to a business as usual scenario was conducted. The two analysis lead to the conclusion, that all the scenarios represent a good investment, but some are more interesting both on the economical and the environmental point of view as will be shown in the end of the thesis
