Flow Refueling

The location of electric vehicle charging facilities is of great significance in promoting the use of electric vehicles. Most existing electric vehicle location models, including the flow refueling location model (FRLM) and its flexible reformulation (FRFRLM), are based on flow demand. At present, these models cannot effectively deal with large-scale traffic networks within a limited time, and there has been little comparison of their relative benefits and limitations. Additionally, there have been few evaluations of the actual construction and location of charging facilities in cities. This paper describes an algorithm that can solve the large-scale transportation network problem within a reasonable time. Using this algorithm, the FRLM and FRFRLM models are compared in a case study focused on Jiading District, Shanghai, China, which provides some direction for the future development of flow demand models. Finally, to evaluate the actual construction of urban charging facilities, this paper presents an algorithm that can map the actual charging facilities to the transportation network, and compares the actual construction situation with the model output. This enables a comprehensive evaluation of the actual construction of charging facilities and provides guidance for future construction.

The Impact

This article outlines methods to facilitate the assessment of the impact of electric vehicle charging on distribution networks at planning stage and applies them to a case study. As network planning is becoming a more complex task, an approach to automated network planning that yields the optimal reinforcement strategy is outlined. Different reinforcement measures are weighted against each other in terms of technical feasibility and costs by applying a genetic algorithm. Traditional reinforcements as well as novel solutions including voltage regulation are considered. To account for electric vehicle charging, a method to determine the uptake in equivalent load is presented. For this, measured data of households and statistical data of electric vehicles are combined in a stochastic analysis to determine the simultaneity factors of household load including electric vehicle charging. The developed methods are applied to an exemplary case study with Norwegian low-voltage networks. Different penetration rates of electric vehicles on a development path until 2040 are considered.

Harmonic Problem

Large scale electric vehicles integration into power grid, as nonlinear loads, will pose inevitable impacts on the operation of power system, one of which the harmonic problem will affect the power quality greatly. Firstly, the article analyzes the characteristics of harmonic caused by electric vehicle charging. And then, the harmonic flow distribution is analyzed based on the IEEE standard node systems. During transient analyses, the electric vehicle charging stations connected to electric grid are represented as harmonic sources. Results show that structure and voltage grade of electric grid, capacity and access points of electric vehicle charging load will have different effects on harmonic problem. At last, a few conclusions are given for connecting electric vehicles to electric grid.
