Solar carparks for electric vehicle charging in a grid with limited capacity

The electricity grid in the Netherlands is currently unable to provide sufficient capacity for both the integration of new renewable electricity powerplants as well as for the integration of new electricity demands like electric vehicle charging. Symptoms of this scarcity of capacity, also seen in other countries undergoing an energy transition,...

Multi-timescale Modeling of Fast Charging Stations for Power Quality Analysis

To accurately simulate the harmonic emission of EV DC fast chargers (DCFCs) and the harmonic voltage of the power grid to which the chargers are connected, a small time-step, i.e., typically smaller than 10μs, is required. However, for harmonic assessment, a long timescale, typically a day, is required. A conflict between accuracy and time...
