Challenges and requirements of electric vehicle fleet charging at company parking sites

pg. 623-628.

Abstract anzeigen

The uprising number of electric vehicles on company parking sites creates a variety of challenges, in terms of scheduling charging processes. In uncoordinated charging, peaks loads can occur that harm the low voltage grid and make the company pay a higher electricity bill. Further, some vehicles may not be charged enough to be used for service appointments at customer homes. In a first step, this paper highlights the individual problems in detail that can appear in a company parking scenario. Next, it is shown that charging scheduling in a company case is not trivial. Finally, requirements to a software-based solution of the challenges are derived from the individual problems.

Virtual Energy Information Network: A Resilience Perspective

In: e&i Elektrotechnik & Informationstechnik (Special Issue on ’Smart Grid and Security’) vol. 130 pg. 121-126.

(2013)

Abstract anzeigen

Increasing demand in energy consumption, missed modernisations, and the increasing difficulties in predicting power production due to volatile renewable energy sources (e.g., based on wind or sun) impose major challenges to the power grid. Power supply and power demand are closely interconnected with the need to maintain the power grid in a stable state with a sufficient quality of power. This requires energy-relevant information to be exchanged through the so called Energy Information Network. Communication, however, is challenging within the Energy Information Network due to privacy, security, resiliency, and quality-of-service requirements. Particularly, the resilience of communication within the Energy Information Network needs to be considered to maintain the power grid in a stable and controlled state. This paper suggests a Virtualised Energy Information Network (VEIN), where the Energy Information Network is divided into multiple virtual networks that run over a common substrate network. Furthermore, this paper discusses benefits of this approach in terms of privacy, security, and resilience and points out open research questions.
