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...

The automotive industry is transitioning to electric vehicles (EVs), creating a higher electricity demand. Concurrently, the utility sector is shifting to a renewable energy system. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology allows EVs to both consume and deliver electricity to the grid, introducing a dynamic interaction. However, integrating EVs into the...

In order to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, fleets of medium- and heavy-duty vehicles are transitioning from conventional fossil fuels to fully electric drivetrains. To utilize these medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles (MHDEVs) without significantly disrupting their operations, Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS) are being developed,...

Electric vehicles (EVs) take advantage of reducing fossil-based environmental pollution and developing a more sustainable logistics network. Compared with internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs), EVs have new technical characteristics like limited battery capacity and long charging time at charging stations. With the diffusion of EVs,...

This thesis looks into the link between the Volkswagen emission scandal, or dieselgate, and the strong rise of electric vehicles in the years following that event. In order to investigate this, a framework is build that describes the process of an innovation (the electric vehicle), taking over from an incumbent technology (fossil fuel cars), in...

The goal of this thesis was to design a way for Ford to provide users more value during long-distance Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) trips. Users tend to buy their vehicle for the 95th percentile of use-cases. In the Netherlands, the average amount of km driven per day is 32 km, which is easily covered by any BEV currently on the market, without...

The Electric Vehicle Routing Problem (E-VRP) is an extension of the infamous Vehicle Routing Problem which asks which routing decisions an electric vehicle needs to take in order to traverse the network efficiently. Many extensions of this problem have been subject to research in the last decade and now that electric vehicles are starting to pop...

As the popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) increases, congestion at charging becomes a more imminent problem. Congestion at a charging station can lead to long waiting queues and failure of EV owners to charge their vehicles fully before their departure from the station. To combat this issue, this paper explores several candidate scheduling...

The penetration of renewable energy sources is increasing every year and that poses a lot of challenges in the distribution system. Since they are intermittent in nature, they cannot serve the energy demand as stand alone sources without the help of storage technologies or stable energy sources. As the RES, especially the Photo Voltaic...

As the energy transition is expected to increase the number of imbalances in the following years, more flexibility is needed to mitigate these imbalances. Electric Vehicles (EV) can provide this flexibility by adjusting their charging speed. An aggregator can provide this flexibility of many EVs to the balancing markets. However, since EVs are...

Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) could turn an electric vehicle (EV) into a potential source of flexibility, in order to deal with the variability and uncertainty in electricity supply brought about by renewable energy sources and the load increase caused by the adoption of EVs. However, only a few studies have focussed on the complexity of EV drivers’...

Dalmijn, Menno (author)
This thesis proposes a model for charge scheduling of electric vehicles in last-mile distribution to investigate the impact of charge schedule optimisation on charging cost. A mixed integer problem formulation is proposed that considers labour, battery degradation and time-variable energy cost. The benefit of implementing charge schedule...
