Integrating electric vehicles in electricity system models – representing individual driving patterns

Paper i proceeding, 2018

This study takes initial steps in developing a method that includes a representation of road transportation demand on individual EV level (based on GPS driving measurements) in an optimisation electricity system model to also represent the spread in the individual driving patterns. The main conclusions are that different driving profiles do have an impact on the charging and discharging back to grid depending on the individual driving distance, battery capacity and driving profile. This have shown to have an impact on, e.g. investments in peak power and the potential role of EVs facilitating the integration of more intermittent renewable power.
