Controlled charging of electric vehicles (EVs) can be used to avoid peaks in the power grid by limiting, and shifting the EV power demand during peak hours. This paper presents results on user preferences and experiences regarding controlled (or smart) charging of EVs via home chargers. Data is derived …

In order to apply smart charging it is key to be able to forecast the connection and charging time of charging sessions at the start of the connection. For, if you know how long a session will last, one can assign an appropriate smart charging strategy for that session. For instance by postponing the …

Slim laden biedt – naar verwachting – de mogelijkheid om grote aantallen elektrische auto’s te laden op zoveel mogelijk duurzame energie uit zon en wind. Daarnaast biedt het de mogelijkheid om de energievraag te accommoderen binnen de kaders van het elektriciteitssysteem. In deze studie doen CE Delft …

Over recent years, numbers of electric vehicles (EVs) have shown a strong growth and sales are projected to continue to grow. For facilitating charging possibilities for EVs typically two rollout strategies have been applied; demand-driven and strategic rollout. This study focuses on determining the …
