Mangipinto, Andrea (author), Lombardi, F. (author), Sanvito, Francesco Davide (author), Pavičević, Matija (author), Quoilin, Sylvain (author), Colombo, Emanuela (author)The mass-scale integration of electric vehicles into the power system is a key pillar of the European energy transition agenda. Yet, the extent to which such integration would represent a burden for the power system of each member country is still an unanswered question.

Gan, Naifeng (author), Sun, S.Z. (author), Zhang, Zhaosheng (author), Xu, Shiqi (author), Liu, Peng (author), Qin, Z. (author)The overdischarge can significantly degrade a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery's lifetime. Therefore, it is important to detect the overdischarge and prevent severe damage of the Li-ion battery. Depending on the battery technology, there is a minimum voltage (cutoff voltage) that the battery is allowed to be discharged in common practice. Once the...journal article 2022

Veviurko, G. (author), Böhmer, J.W. (author), Mackay, Laurens (author), de Weerdt, M.M. (author)Many electric vehicles (EVs) are using today’s distribution grids, and their flexibility can be highly beneficial for the grid operators. This flexibility can be best exploited by DC power networks, as they allow charging and discharging without extra power electronics and transformation losses. From the grid control perspective, algorithms for...journal article 2022

Goedegebure, Niels (author), Hennig, R.J. (author)A higher share of renewables and electric vehicles increase the risk of congestion in electricity distribution systems. New distribution tariff designs have been proposed to prevent congestion. However, most modeling of tariff performance assumes deterministic price information. This paper proposes a method to assess the impact of price...conference paper 2022

Alfrink, Kars (author), Keller, A.I. (author), Doorn, N. (author), Kortuem, G.W. (author)The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) by public actors has led to a push for more transparency. Previous research has conceptualized AI transparency as knowledge that empowers citizens and experts to make informed choices about the use and governance of AI. Conversely, in this paper, we critically examine if transparency-as...journal article 2022
