Smart Integration of Electric Vehicles in the Dutch Power System: Designing mechanisms to manage large volumes of electric vehicle recharging demand in a capacity constrained distribution system

The introduction of large numbers of Electric Vehicles (EV) poses significant challenges to the power infrastructure. The combination of expected consumer recharging behaviour and the technical characteristics of the EV’s recharging power demand could potentially lead to significant increases in peak demand and cause overloads. Conventional...

Congestion management within and between the Dutch and German transmission networks

Electricity is an essential service that can be seen as a utility necessary for modern life. It is typically generated in large scale power plants, and must then be transported through a capital intensive infrastructure known as the transmission grid. It can not be easily stored for later use, which implies that supply and demand of it must be...
