Investigating the Impact of E-Mobility on the Electrical Power Grid Using a Simplified Grid Modelling Approach
March 22, 2023
Abstract
To achieve climate goals, it is necessary to decarbonise the transport sector, which requires an immediate changeover to alternative power sources (e.g., battery powered vehicles). This change will lead to an increase in the demand for electrical energy, which will cause additional stress on power grids. It is therefore necessary to evaluate energy and power requirements of a future society using e-mobility. Therefore, we present a new approach to investigate the influence of increasing e-mobility on a distribution grid level. This includes the development of a power grid model based on a cellular approach, reducing computation efforts, and allowing time and spatially resolved grid stress analysis based on different load and renewable energy source scenarios. The results show that by using the simplified grid model at least seven times, more scenarios can be calculated in the same time. In addition, we demonstrate the capability of this novel approach by analysing the influence of different penetrations of e-mobility on the grid load using a case study, which is calculated using synthetic charging load profiles based on a real-life mobility data. The results from this case study show an increase on line utilisations with increasing e-mobility and the influence of producers at the same connection point as e-mobility.
