Advances in Electric Vehicle Modelling

Advances in Electric Vehicle Modelling: Minimizing Energy Cost and Grid Impact presents practical modelling and optimization techniques for cost-effective electric vehicle grid integration. The increasing proliferation of electric vehicles and renewable energy resources is creating challenges for stable and affordable integration. This book provides practical, research-based solutions for models and techniques that effectively coordinate EV charging, renewable resources, energy storage, and smart grid technologies to support modern power systems. Chapters present foundations of energy systems, transport electrification, and grid capacity for accommodating EVs, then review novel techno-economic models for residential energy cost optimization, including vehicle-to-home operation and multi-location charging. Practical approaches to assessing EV impacts on distribution networks while considering travel uncertainty and energy storage integration are provided, particularly for workplace fleets and commercial tariff structures. This book distinguishes itself by including innovative staggered time-of-use tariffs to better manage charging demand and improve network performance, as well as price-responsive bidirectional charging framework for grid load shaping. This book is valuable for researchers, academics, graduate students, engineers, and policymakers working on EVs and renewable energy. Industry professionals at power generation and distribution companies and engineers developing future networks will also benefit from this volume. Key features: .
