The impact of domestic electric vehicle charging on electricity networks

Thesis

This thesis investigates the impact that home charging of a large private fleet of electric vehicles would have on the power system.

A large multi-regional travel survey dataset is used to model vehicle use and charging spatially heterogeneously, and a selection of representative network models are used to assess the impact of charging on system operation. A stochastic data-driven model is proposed to model uncontrolled charging of vehicles, and convex optimisation is used to calcu...
