Dear all,
This is to inform you about a Master thesis presentation at IEA as per the
following details.
Onsdag 9/2 kl 15:00, on Zoom (see below) and in KC M:IEA, Master thesis
presentation:
"Smart charging and ancillary services in the Malmö region"
Philip Johansson
Abstract:
To meet Sweden's national environmental goal of 70% emissions reduction by 2030
compared to 2010 from domestic transport, electrification is considered key.
However, as more chargeable vehicles are integrated into the market, shortage
of capacity for charging infrastructure may arise. To remedy this, flexibility
within charging infrastructure is proposed. The aim for this thesis is to
estimate the progress of electrification in Sweden, as well as evaluate the
potential and need for different types of flexibility concerning electric
vehicle charging. A MATLAB model for a future scenario for electrification of
transport is developed to assess the future need and potential for various
strategies of smart charging solutions. Results indicate that a 90% reduction
in peak power consumption, compared to the base case, may be obtained using
solutions such as scheduling and signals from flexibility markets. Also as part
of the thesis, a smart charging demonstration project performed by E.ON and
Parkering Malmö is evaluated in terms of delivered power reduction and ease of
operation. Assessment shows that reduction in power did take place, with
varying effect. Influenced by the number of charging sessions meeting
conditions for participation, relative reduction varies between 14% and 82%.
The manual nature of the evaluation performed in this thesis might not be
desirable for future development of the project and may induce some inaccuracy.
A more automatic method using the VPP control software is proposed, but may
require further studies for verification.
