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 effects of rental electric vehicles on fast charging demand: A case study of Icelandic energy provider ON Power's fast charging network

Accurately forecasting charging demand is a major factor in energy providers’ ability to meet said demand. A number of methods have been proposed in the literature. This master thesis aims to provide a framework for energy providers to forecast charging demand due to increased EV adoption. Specifically, this research examines the effects that...

Design of a Sustainable Electric Vehicle Charging Station

Electric vehicles only become useful in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, if the electricity used to charge their batteries comes from renewable energy sources. This thesis was conducted within the electric mobility framework of the Green Village, the project put forward to test the Green Campus Concept. The objective was to design a Station...
