The Impact of Charging Electric Vehicles Between Routing Instances: The Modeling of a Combined Electric Vehicle Routing and Charging Model

E-mobility, in particular electric vehicles (EVs), play a crucial role in the energy transition. While businesses are increasingly adopting EVs, there is still a lot of opportunity to grow. One aspect of this growth is the way these vehicles are used by companies, especially when it comes to the logistics of EV charging. To encourage companies...

Reducing journey times for en-route charging using V2X communication

This thesis project explores how V2X communication between electric vehicles (EV) and charging stations can be used to reduce en-route charging times. This is done using standardized V2X messages for EV charging, as well as proposing an extension to these messages to include data on the intentions of other vehicles. As individual vehicles can...

The Integration of Electric Vehicle Chargers Into a Trolleygrid Network

Battery electric vehicles have gained a substantial market share in the last few years. The call for good charging infrastructure is urgent with the rapid shift from carbon-based cars toward battery electric vehicles. However, the present electrical distribution networks are not designed for large additional loads. Many cities have traction...

Optimal Battery Energy Storage System Sizing and Placement in Low Voltage Distribution Network: Emerging robust electric vehicle charging using photovoltaics

Electric Vehicles (EVs) provide a promising sustainable clean mode of transportation with much fewer emissions compared to the traditional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles. However, this can only be considered true if the energy sources used for charging EVs are also from clean energy form. Various Renewable Energy Sources (RES) are...
