Short description
The global adoption of electric vehicles (EV) expanded notably over the last decade, created opportunities for grid integration through flexible charging and vehicle to grid. This project aims to develop solutions that will help EV Owners and Fleet Managers with smart charging/discharging decisions and aggregation of EV resources to support the grid.
Project description
The flexibility offered by the grid-tied EVs will allow electricity providers to harness the massive storage capacity through opportunities such as flexible smart charging, virtual power plants, and vehicle to grid or vehicle to premises. However, these impose many challenges to the EV owners and grid managers.
This project aims to develop strategies that will help EV owners and fleet managers with smart charging decisions and aggregation of EV resources to support the grid, through optimised smart charging strategies to minimise operational costs of EVs, and to help shave peak load, address minimum load risks, control grid active and reactive power, and optimise renewable energy use.
Expected outputs of this project include:
This PhD will be supported by an Industry Reference Group throughout the project.
