Abstract
Simultaneous charging of electric vehicles
(EVs) , in combination with an intermittent load of distributed (sustainable) energy
resources can cause congestion problems and power quality issues in the
distribution grid. Reinforcement of the distribution grid can solve this issue,
but is costly when designed for maximum peak loads. A smart charging service
for EVs in combination with a flexibility market can provide a distribution
system operator (DSO) with flexibility for effective distribution grid
management.With Interflex, we implement
and evaluate a flexibility market as a means to match the flexibility that can
be provided by EV’s to the flexibility needs of a DSO. This paper provides
initial insights in the potential for flexibility of the EVs and in user
experiences. An initial analysis of charging sessions in the pilot area
indicates more than 50% flexibility potential in sessions before 10 AM and
after 4 PM. These sessions also suggest a certain amount of potential
flexibility in terms of energy.In terms of user experiences, most users are
willing to smart charge their car. They like the idea of saving money and contributing
to a moresustainable environment.
