  • % of cars that

were EVs:

  • 2010: 0.05%
  • 2015: 2.0%
  • 2016: 2.6%
  • Political ambition:

to sell only emission-free cars from 2030

A FIELD TEST

LOAD UNBALANCE Figure 1 in “G. Hoogsteen et al.: 'Charging electric vehicles, baking pizzas, and melting a fuse in Lochem', CIRED - Open Access Proceedings Journal, 2017(1), p. 1629-1633” http://cired.net/publications/cired2017/pdfs/CIRED2017_0340_final.pdf

  • Peak consumption
  • Consumption synchronization
  • Load unbalance

A FIELD TEST

MAJOR PROBLEMS Conclusion: the current grid cannot accommodate large-scale EV charging without any control So what to do?

STRATEGY FOR EV CHARGING

ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

slide-11
SLIDE 11
  • When is an EV available for charging?
  • How much must be charged?
  • What is the consumption of other devices?

STRATEGY FOR EV CHARGING

PREDICTION

slide-12
SLIDE 12
  • Using predictions: determine optimal charging schedule for EVs
  • Here, optimal means “as flat as possible”
  • Apply mathematical
  • ptimization algorithms

STRATEGY FOR EV CHARGING

REAL-TIME CONTROL

  • What to do when predictions

turn out to be wrong / inaccurate?

  • Dealing with unexpected

behavior

  • Centralized: all

EVs together

  • Decentralized:

separately per EV and use feedback loop

COORDINATION OF MULTIPLE EVS

CENTRALIZED VS. DECENTRALIZED

Optimize Overall profile Optimize Optimize Input Overall profile Optimize Input 1 1 1 All

slide-16
SLIDE 16
  • Fleet controller sends “target profiles” to device controllers
  • Devices: match consumption with target as well as possible
  • Repeat to cancel out over / undershoot

  • Multi-commodity smart grids (electricity + heat)
  • Implementations in the “real” world
  • Cost allocation
  • ... and more …

OUTLOOK

ONGOING SMART GRID RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TWENTE

slide-18
SLIDE 18
  • Our research: https://www.utwente.nl/ctit/energy/
  • A recent (and accessible!) paper on the Lochem field test:
  • G. Hoogsteen et al.: 'Charging electric vehicles, baking pizzas, and melting a fuse

in Lochem', CIRED - Open Access Proceedings Journal, 2017(1), p. 1629-1633

  • Many possibilities for BSc and MSc assignments, also in cooperation with

companies
