During the COVID-19—related lockdowns (2020–2022), mobility patterns and charging needs were substantially affected. Policies such as work from home, lockdowns, and curfews reduced traffic and commuting significantly. This global pandemic may have also substantially changed mobility patterns on the long term and therefore the need for electric...

With a growing share of electric vehicles (EVs) in our distribution grids, the need for smart charging becomes indispensable to minimise grid reinforcement. To circumvent the associated capacity limitations, this paper evaluates the effectiveness of different levels of network constraints and different dynamic tariffs, including a dynamic...

Electricity grids worldwide are experiencing increased peak demands and decreasing simultaneity due to higher shares of Renewable Energy Sources (RES). It is expected that many grids will soon reach their limits. One solution to mitigate these issues is exploiting flexibility in e.g. electric vehicles. In this work, a shrinking horizon model...

Short driving range, limited chargers, and long charging times challenge the profitability of electric taxi operations. In this paper, a charging algorithm is developed to accompany a taxi service with online trip requests, which uses a private charging infrastructure for both slow and fast charging. The vehicle charging curves are assumed to be...

After the Dutch government committed itself to the Paris Climate Agreement, there has been some development in policies that are introduced to limit the emissions of greenhouse gasses. These policies are introduced in the Dutch Climate Agreement. Some of these policies aim to stimulate the adoption rate of the battery electric vehicle into the...

The charging of a rapidly increasing number of EVs places significant strain on electrical distribution grids. Controlled (’smart’) charging of EVs offers a solution to this problem by shifting the charging of vehicles to the most optimal moments in time. Smart charging is not a completely new research topic; it has a high Technology Readiness...

With increased awareness of anthropogenic emissions, industries and sectors worldwide are changing rapidly. One of those sectors is the transport sector which has seen immense change with the increase of electric vehicles in recent years. Although these electric vehicles reduce emissions and are a welcoming sign of change, they greatly increase...

Over the last decade the share of electric vehicles has increased and will continue to increase in the future in order to reduce the carbon footprint by transportation. However, the battery voltage is not standardised and can differ per car model. To reduce the charging time, a high power converter is preferred. Moreover, in order to utilise the...

Renewable energy sources, e.g. solar energy and wind energy, have gained popularity as an alternative means of energy production as they do not reinforce global warming. In addition, more and more electrical appliances (e.g. electric vehicles, induction cookers, and heat pumps) are used as a substitute for appliances that need non-renewable...

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’...

The vehicle industry is increasingly exploring emission-free mobility. Transforming the mobility sector to zero-emission vehicles that consume renewable and low carbon fuels is necessary to reduce the impacts on climate change. Hydrogen powered electric vehicles, or Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEVs), could make a significant contribution to...

This paper outlines the challenges faced during the implementation of a Vehicle-2-Grid set-up from the design phase, through project planning, application for permits and clearances, procurement of equipment and installation. It is based on the experience of designing a living lab at the Green Village in TU Delft, the Netherlands. Desk...

The introduction of electric vehicles (EVs) can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, fossil fuel depletion and urban air pollution. The exponential growth of the EV market requires a significant expansion of the public charging infrastructure. This causes challenges especially in cities in terms of parking pressure, grid reinforcements...

Models and simulators have been widely used in urban contexts for many decades. The drawback of most current models is that they are normally designed for specific objectives, so the elements considered are limited and they do not take into account the potential synergies between related systems. The necessity of a framework to model complex...

Increasing adoption of EVs in the next few decades is going to present new challenges such as EV charging creating a new and significant demand on the grid. The purpose of this thesis is to create a system that intelligently schedules the charging of EVs while considering the cost of energy and the discomfort of the user. At any given moment, 90...

The development in technology and increased public interest has attributed to an unprecedented growth of E-mobility in recent years. Electric vehicles (EVs) even though viewed as emission free and environmental friendly can still contribute towards indirect emissions if charged by using traditional fossil fuels. The integration of renewable...

The widespread introduction of (hybrid) electric vehicles has caused dynamic, local energy demand peaks. While, decentral energy generation, often using sustainable methods, creates local over-supply. Following the trends of the previous decade, the central balancing party (TenneT) will soon be no longer able to keep up. Blockchain offers an...

This graduation project aims to make smart charging acceptable and valuable in the EV charging practice. The Dutch government estimates a strong increase in electric vehicles (EV’s) in the Netherlands in the coming decade. The current estimation is 200.000 EV's in 2020 towards 1 million EV's in 2025. This will have a big impact on the...
