Generating Electricity Price Forecasting Scenarios to Analyze Whether Price Uncertainty Impacts Tariff Performance

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...

Influences of Hydrogen on the Electrical Energy Transfer Peak in the Control of a Microgrid: Using Demand Response and Electric Vehicle Management

A future rise in electrical energy demand is expected due to the electrification of the thermal energy supply and the rise in popularity of the Electric Vehicle (EV). This rise in the electrical energy demand results in needed investments in the electrical energy infrastructure to prevent congestion at the transformer due to the higher peak of...

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...

An Optimization Model to Upgrade the Charging Network of Electric Vehicles

The current city charging network for electric vehicle (EV) is mainly composed of low-speed charging points. When the number of EVs increase dramatically in the future, the current charging network needs to be upgraded with more charging stations and fast-charging (FC) facilities. We build a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model to propose an...
